Benefits of renting your own vending machine

Do you have a company and are you interested in having your own vending machine? Do not know how to get it or how much does it cost to rent a vending machine? We tell you everything.

You, too, have noticed. It is increasingly common to find companies that manage their own vending companies in their facilities.

Does not matter the size. SMEs or multinationals have been quick to discover the benefits of renting their own vending machine. These are some:

Increase     your income Very little transaction volume is required to make     the rental fee profitable.

Technical     service included. It is not necessary to have your own support     service, as most companies provide their own technical service.

Price     fixing. When renting a machine, your company will be responsible     for establishing the prices (and margins) of each product.

No     dependencies or commitments. Rent your own vending machine means     that you choose what foods or consumables you want to offer.

How much does it cost to rent a vending machine?

Logically, that is the first question that everyone asks themselves before renting a machine.

To be honest, in the early days of the vending machine business, the rental price was not affordable for all types of companies.

However, the growth of competition in terms of the supply of machines, and the ability of many of these to adapt to the personal needs of each company, have made these quotas much more accessible.

For example, nowadays, it is possible to rent your own vending machine from only $60 per month with all services included.

Advantage

renting a device for the automatic sale of beverages or snacks is an opportunity to verify the profitability (or, conversely, profitableness) of the vending business without significant material investment. In addition, rent is a reasonable solution in case the device is only needed for a certain period, for example, for the period of the exhibition, presentation or other mass event.

there     is no need for a large starting capital;

there     is an opportunity of trial installation of the automatic device in the     chosen place;

The     device can be taken for a short time;

Even     an expensive device is available for installation.

The main disadvantage of the lease is the need to pay the owner of the vending machine its lease value, that is, to receive less profit in full.

Payback period of vending machines from 1 year

The civilized world has long "exploited" vending machines and appreciated their advantages and profitability.

The range of goods that can be sold through vending machines has practically no limits. The main requirement for a product intended for sale through the machine is its "fit ability" to a given size of the "package" that the machine gives out. By the way, the real boom of vending machines continues in the ancestor of this type of trade - Japan. There, daily for their service about 27 thousand cars leave.

The most popular and popular are vending machines selling cold and hot drinks, packaged goods (chips, juices, milk), popcorn, ice cream, chocolate, toothbrushes and towels, telephone and internet cards, batteries, condoms, newspapers and much more. There are even machines that fry eggs and clean shoes.

The machines differ, mainly in terms of technical equipment and dimensions. The simplest models are mechanical automata, usually small in size. The mechanism of their action is quite simple: a coin is thrown, and when you turn the lever you get the desired product. Typically, these machines sell chewing gum, candy or toys.

The average cost of mechanical machines ranges from $ 100 to $ 400. The main client of these small machines is children, so it is most advantageous to install automatic devices in the circus, in the cinema, in general, in places of large concentrations of children. As noted by businessmen engaged in vending, the payback of mechanical machines takes place after 3-4 months. The secret is that the coin acceptor is designed for 2 dollars, and the filler unit (chewing gum or candy), as a rule, costs the landlord only 1 ruble.

Electric automatic machines are much more expensive than mechanical ones: from 3 thousand to 10 thousand dollars, but the "ability" of electric machines is greater. The most profitable of them are coffee machines. They are followed by vending machines selling soft drinks in cans and bottles. The so-called snack machines occupy a bronze place among the electric machines in terms of profitability, the "filler" of which are food products in small packages (for example, chips), and popcorn production machines. The average payback period of these machines is 1-1.5 years.

One of the main components of success in vending is the right choice of location. Vending machines are put mainly in shopping centers, at the railway and bus stations, at the airport.

When choosing a location, it is better to focus on the greater patency of people who also have an "extra" ten rubles. Russian operators have not yet risked putting machine guns on the streets, like abroad. Another difficulty is the competition from grandmothers with thermoses. They have the cost of a cup of coffee does not exceed 5 rubles, while coffee from automatic machines costs 6-10 rubles. The price of coffee from the vending machine is higher, but when buying coffee on the street, you can not know how, by whom and under what conditions it was cooked. The quality of coffee from the machine is guaranteed. 

As for the financial side of running a new business, vending has a number of advantages over conventional trading.

First, relatively small financial investments to start work, besides, you do not need to spend money on the seller. The machine works always: day and night, and in the cold and in the heat, and on the street and in the pavilion.

Secondly, a huge period of operation of machines (up to 10 years). Thirdly, economically low costs for maintaining the machine and for the acquisition of fillers. And, finally, fourthly, accurate accounting of costs and revenues. However, while in this business there is such concept, as "time of accustoming".

The time for people to get used to the machine is usually 1 to 3 months. At the initial stage, various activities are welcomed. For example, to offer supermarket customers absolutely free to try hot coffee from a vending machine, which is installed there. Let people get acquainted and appreciate a new type of services.

The main trends of the world market of vending machines

About 18 million vending machines around the world offer their customers a wide variety of goods and services: from a cup of morning coffee and cans of cold cola, to bananas and vending manicure. But in recent years, in the most developed "vending" countries – Australia, Japan, the USA, Western European countries - an interesting trend has been outlined: the main emphasis is not so much on increasing the fleet of automatic machines as on their modernization, on the introduction of new approaches and ways of vending trade.

The legislator of vending fashion can rightfully be considered Japan. The Japanese market of trading devices is really huge: about 30% of the world market of vending equipment falls precisely on the "country of the rising sun".

In this technologically advanced country, one vending machine accounts for 20 people. For comparison, in the United States, this figure is half that - one machine for 40 people, in the countries of the Europe (Italy, France, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Netherlands) - 1 vending machine for 110 people in Russia (extensive field of activity for vending) this figure is about 1/1000 (one sales device per thousand people).

 About half of all machines in Japan - sell drinks. But the other part of them simply amazes the unsophisticated Russian view with their diversity and unusual ideas. Of course, looking at a Japanese vending machine selling eggs or live lobsters, it's difficult to seriously talk about selling such goods as a world trend, however, the very idea of Japanese selling everything in an automated way significantly influences and changes the world vending market.

 In Japan, even there are networks of automated cafes, in which there are no sellers, any hot food, drinks are sold through sales devices.

Many Japanese innovations are related to the peculiarities of life and development of the country. As great economists, the Japanese were the first to introduce energy saving vending machines, which, of course, quickly found its reflection in the general trends of the world vending. As the country of advanced technologies and capacities, Japan was the first to combine vending and government services - on the screens of many machines, a live broadcast of important state news and emergency messages is conducted.

On the second place in the ranking of venerable vending countries are the United States of America. According to the Americans themselves, every minute about 250,000 coins fall into the vending machines in the United States. As in Japan, the sale of beverages is leading, but mostly cold (I think it's understandable why). Hence the legs of one of the main trends of the American vending - the interaction of vending trade and the sale / advertising of products of large American corporations. It's not just Coca-Cola, Pepsi and Apple, which have vending machines of their own design. Here you can also see franchising - for example, the network of Starbucks coffee houses. In 2011, Starbucks began installing branded vending machines for the sale of its coffee.

By the way, such a widespread kind of vending as the sale of coffee, in the US occupies only 6% of the total market share.

 What can you not say, for example, about European countries, where coffee vending is traditionally one of the most popular varieties and can compete only with the sale of snacks. Vending machines for the sale of hot drinks account for almost 60% of the vending market.

 The main trends of the industry:

According to the latest forecasts, the average annual rates of connection of vending machines to the Internet by 2020 will be 23.25% (according to Research and Markets).

With the introduction of online solutions, the machines acquire new functions and appearance: they are equipped with touch screens, audio and video, become not only a device for sale, but also a means of entertainment, attracting attention, advertising media.

Vending machines with Internet access expand payment options: along with traditional paper and coin methods, solutions are actively used to make non-cash, non-contact payment of goods and services (by card, via SMS, electronic money, mobile applications, etc.).

Another advantage of connecting equipment to the network is the appearance of online monitoring services for the operation of automatic machines (so-called online telemetry).

we are considering a legislative ban on the use of plastic cups. It is suggested to use paper vending glasses or biodegradable cups.

There are other initiatives related to energy saving (use of solar cells, LEDs), as well as health (introduction of a tax on "harmful" and sugar-containing food products).
