From OpenStreetMap, the open map built by volunteers. We pick open businesses in categories that suit a vending machine (auto shops, gyms, laundromats, hotels and similar) that have a phone number on their listing. They are prospects to approach: none of them has asked for a machine, and the course shows you how to make the pitch.
No. You make the calls and visits yourself. The site gives you a list of businesses to approach, scripts and a follow-up plan, and the paperwork to put an agreement in writing.
Most of the cost is the machine. Used and refurbished machines are much cheaper than new ones, and a card reader, the first load of stock and your business registration come on top. Module 3 and our machine cost guide go through the options before you spend anything.
Look for places where people spend time and can't easily pop out for a snack: auto shop waiting rooms, laundromats, gyms, small workplaces and hotels. Then call or walk in, keep the pitch short, and follow up. Module 2 covers how to judge a spot and what to say.
It depends on your state and city. Most operators need a general business registration and a sales tax permit, and some places require a vending or food permit. Check with your state and city before you place a machine; Module 4 walks through registration.
Yes, any time, from Plan & Billing on your account page. Cancelling stops the next charge, and you keep access until the end of the month you paid for.
