Hello!

Welcome to the first edition of our 30-part email series, where we'll be delving into the exciting world of vending machine businesses! If you've ever wondered what it's like to own a vending business, today's email will give you an exclusive sneak peek into a typical day in the life of a vending business owner.

🕒 What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

One of the most common questions we encounter is, "What does a typical day look like when you own a vending business?" Let's take a quick tour of the daily routine:

1️⃣ Remote Monitoring: Your day kicks off by hopping onto your computer to access the backend remote monitoring system. This advanced technology provides you with real-time reports on the inventory status of your machines, highlighting locations that need restocking.

2️⃣ Preparing for the Route: After reviewing the machine inventory report, you print out the "Pick Lists" that outline the quantities of each product needed. Armed with these lists, you load the required products into organized bins and pack them into your vehicle.

3️⃣ Hitting the Road: The excitement begins as you hit the road to service your locations. Interacting with your customers and creating a couple of "wow moments" is all part of the daily adventure!

4️⃣ Machine Maintenance: At each location, your service schedule includes essential tasks like emptying the cash box, restocking products, and ensuring the coin mechanism is filled with dimes, nickels, quarters, and dollar coins. Plus, you'll give the front glass of the machine a quick wipe-down to keep it looking pristine.

5️⃣ Moving On: With the machines serviced and customers satisfied, it's time to move on to the next location!

💼 Beyond the Route:

Once you've completed your onsite tasks, there's more to the business than meets the eye. Additional daily activities might involve:

- Reordering Products: Keeping your machines fully stocked means monitoring inventory levels and placing timely reorders.

- Accounting Activities: Managing finances, tracking revenue, and staying on top of expenses.

- Inventory Management: Careful organization and tracking of your product inventory to ensure efficient restocking.

🤩 Exciting, Isn't It?

As you can see, owning a vending business offers a dynamic blend of customer interactions, on-the-road excitement, and behind-the-scenes management. And this is just the beginning!

Stay tuned for our next email, where we'll explore essential tips for selecting the right products to optimize your vending business's success.

Until then, happy vending!
