$1,450/Month Profit From 3 Vending Machines

📝 Puzzleheaded_Ad_4478 shared 20 hard lessons from running a vending machine business on the side…

Right now, I’m making about $1,450 a month (in profits) on average, with 3 machines and a good system in place to make it passive.

That’s about $483/month per machine. But the “passive” part comes with a big asterisk.

Vending is NOT fully passive income.

I’d call it semi passive, like 70% passive.

From time to time, you clean, fix bill acceptors, deal with jammed candy, haul heavy change, drive between locations, and get calls at 7PM because a machine ate someone’s dollar…

A few of the sharpest tips 👇

• Always pair snacks with drinks. People want a drink with their chips.
• Card readers are mandatory. Without one, you’ll make half what you could.
• Avoid Costco-brand snacks. No one pays premium for a brand they buy in bulk.
• Stick to a minimum location size. Small offices take the same drive time for way less revenue.

💰 A combo snack-and-drink machine runs $2,500 to $5,000, plus a few hundred for a card reader and initial stock.

Starter move: one used machine in a 20+ person workplace (gym, factory, auto shop), with a small commission to the owner 😎
