Hi Guys could you please make a video of tips for performing your pitch to the location owner :)

Nice😮

Blessings !

We’re looking into doing claw machines too so this was very helpful thank you! Curious where you store your extra machines when not being used though?

We are happy to hear and we put them in storage at the moment until we have a storefront open.

Doing well, I got out and I had ice cream shops locations 12 total, and they wanted 50 percent.😮 Sorry, opening up an ice cream shop and became a competitor. It's slow in the winters, but in the summertime $20,000 in sales just one weekend.

Do you need a licsence or permit to place a mini claw machine in a restaurant?

Japanese plush in the Chinese restaurant…. Lol

what part of fl are y’all based in??

Me and my cousin just got our first candy machine and where hoping to move up to arcade games. Would love some tips for not having to break the bank first!

Check out Facebook market place for used mini claw machines around you! We started there at first when we didn’t have a lot of income. Hope this helps😁.

May I suggest a mobile truck or trailer arcade? Then you save yourselves 90% of the setup and tear down time on events.

That’s a great idea! We’ve actually looked into that and found one we wanted to buy. We toured it, but we really laid out the pros and cons. It was a very very large investment for something we wouldn’t be able to get full use out of. We didn’t want the carnie lifestyle of being at events 24/7 working it and being around that crowd. It’s a great idea to do at local family fun events, but not something we wanted to fully pursue!

do you guys not have any credit card readers on your change machine i would have to look but i’ve seen a change machine with slots for a dba and credit card reader

@etamusements

I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to put a card reader on a change machine. Either way, we would be loosing money as we would have to pay cc fees. In my opinion, the only way to take card would be to have a card reader on every single machine, use tokens, or have a kiosk for game cards.

Great video! Now what about taxes? Do you pay them comission on total sales before taking taxes and product costs? Or do you pay them on total after those are taken out? We just placed our first mini claw machine by the way! Hoping to place our other one tomorrow😃. Have a good one!

Thank you very much, we appreciate it!! Congratulations on placing your first mini claw, that’s so awesome to hear😄👊🏼. To sum it up, we didn’t have to pay taxes. 2 reasons, one since there is two of us splitting our earnings we each didn’t “make enough” to pay taxes and this is bc secondly, everything we made we put back into the business. We never took an income or paid ourselves enough. We know everyone has a different situation, but since we still live at home we were able to through all our profit back into buying new machines and expanding. Good question about paying taxes before or after commission to the owner. This is something we are going to have to figure out with a cpa this year!

​@@etamusements I know this is a year old but I just wanna say, as a business you definitely still need to *file* your taxes even if you don't owe anything. Like you need to be reporting all income and expenses as a business, so that the IRS can be the one to determine if you owe anything or not... You can't just not file taxes as a business, even if you aren't claiming any income... But as for the question about paying taxes before or after commission to the owner. You'd pay taxes on your actual business income. Since the revenue of the machines is being split, you wouldn't pay taxes on the whole thing, just your portion. So you would pay taxes on your 70% and the business owner *should* be paying taxes on their 30%. But I know a lot of these cash businesses just... don't report anything to the IRS, because it's all "small" cash transactions... but it's a good way to get in a lot of trouble with the IRS. You absolutely should be *filing* taxes every year, and reporting your income/expenses, even if it's little to nothing, and even if it's all just cash. (especially if it's all just cash).

Get more coin pushers they make the money

How is is passive? Who drives around and fills the machines?

Most of these locations we collect/restock on a 2-3 week basis. So yes, we still work at our locations, but the work is extremely minimal.

You didn’t have to pay for those spots at the fair? Besides commission

@etamusements

Жыл бұрын

Theoretically, no. We paid for the spot, but then we didn’t have to pay commission until we made the money back from the spot.
