The Top 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Vending Company

Adding vending machines to your business can be a great way to keep employees and customers happy. But not all vending companies are created equal- and choosing the wrong one can lead to empty machines, frustrated staff, and wasted space. To help you make the right decision, here are the top 5 mistakes to avoid when choosing a vending partner.

1.     Ignoring Service & Response Times

One of the biggest complaints businesses have is waiting days or even weeks for a vending company to restock or fix a machine. The right partner should be available, reliable, and fast when issues come up.

2.     Not Asking About Product Variety

Every workplace is different. Some locations need more energy drinks and sport drinks, while others prefer healthy snacks or bottled water. A good vending company should customize the product mix to fit your employees and customers.

3.     Overlooking Cashless Payment Options

These days, most people don’t carry cash. If your machines don’t have card readers or mobile payment options, sales will suffer. Make sure your vending partner provides modern, cashless solutions.

4.     Forgetting About Machine Maintenance

A vending machine is only useful if it’s working properly. Don’t settle for companies that drop off machines and walk away. The right company should handle regular cleaning, maintenance, and quick repairs.

5.     Not Having an Understanding Agreement

Although you don’t always have to have a contract with a location it is important to have an agreement where the vending company can have a clear, fair structure set up and there is no confusion or problems in the future.
