Abstract :
When money is placed in a vending machine a product is automatically dispensed to the consumer. The items available in these machines usually include some snacks such as chips, candies and soft drinks, juices or bottled water. You insert a coin, bill, or a card and press a few keys, and your snack or a drink falls out from the slot ready for you to take it. Furthermore, in many countries, there are vending machines that sell not only pizza, muffins, and French fries but also offer some other items like books. Some even prepare coffee for you while you wait. The advantages of starting a vending machine business are low risk, affordable start up costs and relatively high returns. This is a very straightforward operation with very low operational costs. A wide range of items such as pretzels, drinks, meals that do not need further preparation, and dairy products can be offered. Reports published indicate that a fair return on investment characteristic of this particular industry is roughly 25%. And reducing food waste is important from both an ecological standpoint and for profit performance. Lower waste translates into higher income. It’s safe to say that the vending machine business is pretty much set and established worldwide, and for India, it seems to be in its nascent stages which gives an opportunity to capitalize it. It is a low investment, high return, and low time and labor binding business. Moreover, it is also easy to scale up and gain revenues over the years. For regular returns, vending machines are a good option and if you venture into this line, it might just be for you.
