Managing Your Vending Machines
How you manage your vending machines is very important for the success of your Planet Antares vending business. Vending machines that are properly stocked and maintained are usually managed well by the vending operator. Vending machine operators who don’t manage their vending machine well tend to wait for vending machines to break down and then make a call to a mechanic. However better management can increase revenue by decreasing the number of emergency calls.There are some emergency calls that are unpredictable. Like when a cup gets jammed in a hot beverage vending machine, or when a coin acceptor malfunctions. There are times when emergency calls can be prevented. Making small maintenance adjustments in your Planet Antares vending machines will be the best way of keeping your vending in good working order 24 hours, seven days a week. There is really no need for you to lose money because your vending machine is out of order. Customers, who approach a vending machine to make a purchase and find an ‘out of order’ sign, are more likely to keep away from that vending machine in the future.
Refrigeration compressors will stop cooling the soft drink in Planet Antares vending machines, once their fins become clogged. Regular cleaning of the compressors will prevent this problem. These maintenance techniques can save you lots of money. If a vending machine breaks down and has to be fixed by a mechanic, it can end up costing a lot of money. Major breakdowns are something that can be avoided by practicing preventative maintenance. The estimated cost of addressing one of these kinds of problems is about $200. However if your Planet Antares vending machines receives regular maintenance, it will only cost you one or two extra dollars.
Managing your vending machines in the correct manner would mean that your vending machines should never be empty of merchandise. This means that you need to account for the merchandise sales to know how the products are selling. You can either use technology to keep a track of this, or you can use a system that works for you. Either way, a customer should not find your vending out of their favorite product. If you have hired a route driver, make sure that he/she is managing the vending machines effectively.
Vending machines should not only be serviced, they should also be kept clean at all times. A clean looking vending machine is more pleasant to use. The surrounding of the vending machine should also be kept clean. There is no point of having a clean looking vending machine in dirty surroundings. Keep everything clean.
If you can manage one vending machine successfully, it means that you can manage a whole fleet of machines. This means expansion of your vending business will be easier for you.
