Are you thinking about adding vending machines to your laundromat? If so, we have several tips for you. Over the course of the last couple of blog posts we talked about whether renting or buying the machines is best for you. Today, we are going to focus more on renting and how to do so for your business.
The best place to start is by researching companies that offer vending machines. Take a look at all the types of machines they offer. Decide what you might want to provide for your customers within your laundromat. There are coffee, soda, snack, sandwich and other machines you can choose from. Depending on their size and type there may be an additional charge. For example, coffee machines will need to be cleaned more often and have the added cost of coffee cups. They may be more expensive than a soda machine. These are all things you need to think about when deciding what you'd like to offer.
Once you have an idea of what you're looking for, talk in detail with the companies about lease contracts for vending machines.
Then, you'll be ready to negotiate leases in order to get the best price available.
Once you've completed negotiations you can then decide how many vending machines you'll need.
Be sure to check with several vendors just in case you can find a better deal. You don't want to be stuck with a bad lease.
Once you've gone through all the ins and outs of choosing, negotiating and finalizing your vending deal, you can then work towards getting the machines in your laundromat. After that you'll be ready to stock them and they'll be ready for customers.
Remember, choosing whether or not you own or rent your vending machines is up to you. It can be profitable to own them but there are upfront costs and repair costs along the way that will be completely your responsibility. If you missed a previous blog post be sure to go back and visit them. You'll not only find the advantages and disadvantages of owning your own vending machines but they should also help you decide if you should purchase one outright.
