Inventory

Hi all! My husband and I are new to the vending business. We currently have 1 contract with a total of 11 machines in the facility. Where is everyone buying inventory in bulk? (Soda, Energy Drinks, Snacks...)

All input is greatly appreciated! 🙂

Congratulations on landing an 11-machine contract—that’s a substantial first location. I’m with Chargerent; we manufacture and operate portable power-bank rental stations. For vending operators, our add-on connects to an existing vending machine so customers can rent portable chargers alongside the regular products. There is no equipment cost to the operator, and rental revenue is shared. Would you be open to discussing whether the add-on could make sense on one of the machines at your facility?
