it would be helpful t make a video going over finances...you made £26 in cash plus say £120 in card sales. That's 146 round up to £150. Say half is cost of goods so you're left with £75. Take away insurance, petrol to go restock them, maintenance. Lets say you are left with £50 per machine (75-25). That's £100 in a month. That means you would need about 30 such vending machines to start making a healthy living (30 x £100 = £3000 profit per month). if a vending machine such as this costs £2k that would mean you had to spent £60k to buy these vending machines. Is that a liable business? again, I don't know what I'm taking about but it would be helpful to go over the finances. Cheers for the quality videos.

Might seem like a stupid question but, your buying products taking them home and putting them in a vending machine for the public how do the public know you haven’t opened a bottle and put something in it?
@Samuelheaton104 ай бұрын
The same way you hope restaurant staff do not spit in your food. Unfortunatley there is not much once can do to prove this but most people would expect the vending machine owner to be a decent business person.

Hi Samuel, how did you get your Nayax to automatically update your stock levels of product when a custom purchases something from your machine? I've setup my PAcode and MDB but the stock levels don't move. Nayax don't help either!
@Samuelheaton10 Жыл бұрын
If I am correct and you have programmed the app correctly it should work. Once the cable has been plugged into feed the information to the machine and you have changed the stock levels of how many each row can hold it should automatically do it. Double check your cable is connected as that is what feeds the info and allows it to know the levels, if that doesn’t work I am really unsure as to why it isn’t working.

Hey Sam, ive recently got a quote from a vending machine supplier, to add on a nayax card reader. They want £325 plus vat for the card reader, Then £10 a month line rental fee, plus 2.95% per transaction fee. Is that reasonable and do you pay line rental and transaction fees yourself? Seems a little steep. Thanks man
@Samuelheaton10 Жыл бұрын
Hi Dean, unfortunately the Nayax has to be included in your costings of Start-up. I would consider it reasonable as it increases your sales by a good percentage and on a £1 sale it’s only 3p. I know it can seem a lot but the time it saves in restocking and ensuring your machine is always filled with the bestselling items, you really can’t go wrong. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏🏻
