Great video! I've been operating vending machines since March 2022. Started with one bought cash and a year later bought another all through Facebook Marketplace. Currently sitting at 8 vending machines that I am operating.

A very informative review of the vending machine business 💯. When you touched on location I thought you were also going to add on the security aspect of the business. Back in varsity UKZN(Howard campus)some guys used to bypass the machine and give free chocolates to their girlfriends😅. Best you locate your machine close to the guards or near the camera's for extra safety👍🏽

🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭 you just unlocked a memory I had forgotten about: once someone’s chocolate got stuck mid-way (high school) and the girl kicked the machine in anger AND THE COVER CAVED IN. the next 2-3 days people were collecting free snacks from the shelves they could reach 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭. so THANK YOU for raising those security concerns. that’s actually a really key consideration 🔑.

I have been thinking about it fir past 4 years but i haven't seen a vending machine in like 8 years

I’m seeing a lot of dropshippers moving into the vending machine business these days. 😁 Might try it out one day. 😂Since the video for ins and out just got here.✨Problem, I don’t have a taxi industry attitude to protect my own.🤣🤣

😂🤭👀 I wonder what’s causing them to move from dropshipping to this new venture. I guess time will tell. (I do think that sometimes people consume a lot of America content and try implement it bar-for-bar in South Africa, however sometimes it doesn’t work like that).

I use it often at work.. it’s restocked weekly

The last time i used it was probably 2017 or 2018 back at Varsity

I use one this year at JHB Hospital. Unfortunately i did not have a pleasant experience because it required old notes & i had no coins with me. It could have been nice and efficient if they had card payment.

That’s the thing 😭 even with these old machines I’m not sure if they’ll accept the new notes recently released so definitely something to think about before buying second hand.

Thank you for the info. The other side hustle I am think of is a water business, since the water in the Vaal is deemed "contaminated" I think the water business will do so much better... Your thoughts?

@nokuhlekumalo

Ай бұрын

Ooooh this seems interesting especially since you’ve identified the need for “clean” water. Definitely might be worth looking into. I would suggest (before going for it) understand first if people are actually willing to pay for bottled water. Then also understand if people are collecting or if you’re delivering. I know in Cape Town the water here is also known to not be good for drinking so a lot of us will buy 5L water when doing groceries. And then use those same 3 bottles to refill water for cheaper at the grocery store (like food lovers or checkers) cause they have like filtered water and you pay 99c / R1 per litre (so essentially bring your old 5L and pay R5 for more water). Hope this makes sense. See (if the capital allows) if you can’t get your local store to do that too and maybe you would supply the filtering machine / clean water 👀.

I once serviced a vending machine in a Private hospital and a college around my area. Their spares are very expensive, my client ended up giving up on them.

A new vending machine should atleast make five years and more without a problem(good brands like Jofemar, kiosoft and etc), second hands are hard to tell. On my experience they only require parts replacement not part repair, to give another long production.
