Vending concepts can differ in equipment, product mix, customer setting, and how often locations need service. Evaluate the route and placement obligations behind each offering; equipment counts or placement prospects alone do not establish customer demand or results.

These are questions to ask about the model, not promises about any brand listed below.
Ask who secures each placement, what access the location grants, how restocking and repairs are scheduled, and how product selection is adjusted for the site.
If the offer includes a broader self-service assortment, compare its space, equipment, payment, replenishment, and shrink-control requirements with a conventional machine placement.
For a focused product mix, ask about supplier restrictions, storage and delivery needs, expiration or rotation practices, and whether each location's terms support the proposed assortment.

Before you request information
Get written terms for any placement, including duration, access, fees or commissions, exclusivity, and termination. Distinguish a confirmed agreement from a lead, target, or verbal discussion.
Ask who loads, cleans, monitors, repairs, and collects payment for equipment, and how route distance and service frequency are determined. Verify any placement or servicing claims with current owners.
Compare equipment, payment systems, initial stock, replenishment, spoilage or shrink, maintenance, and working capital against the current FDD. Treat any sales or performance statements as unverified unless supported by permitted disclosures and owner diligence.

Our Team
Most franchise consultants have studied FDDs and attended Discovery Days. Our advisors have also operated franchises. We've managed employees, navigated slow ramp-ups, and learned that a business can be easy to buy and hard to sell.
That operating experience changes how we help you evaluate an opportunity.
