What is Good Vending Service... and how do you
obtain it?
Good Vending Service consists
of clean, well maintained machines that operate trouble free and are
serviced on just the right schedule to eliminate out of stock
conditions. The machines will be stocked with the freshest and
highest quality products available. The products should be primarily
nationally known brands,( Coke, Pepsi, Snickers, Frito Lay Chips,
Wrigley's Gum) but will also include regional favorites such
as Lance Crackers and Dolly Madison Pastries in the southern
states. The products will be reasonably priced so the consumer will
receive unbeatable value for the money they spend. The operating
service company should be easy to communicate with, fast to respond
to special requests and have a staff of knowledgable
associates.
How can you obtain good vending service
for your location?
Just follow the 5 step program listed
here.
1. Contact
a qualified professional vending service, such as Blue Ribbon
Vending. Check their references and if possible visit their
operations at other locations.
2. Communicate your
expectations adequately and decide if the vending company
can supply your needs. Then incorporate your
agreements into a written document such as a letter of
understanding or contract.
3. Recognize that good
vending service is expensive and requires heavy investments in
equipment and personnel. Every business must make a profit to
survive (even yours). Allow the vending company you select to make a
reasonable profit.
4. Help the vending
service meet your expectations by communicating changes in
consumer desires and satisfaction levels at your location. Maintain
good communications with regularly scheduled meetings with your
vending service representative.
5. GOOD VENDING
SERVICE DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN, It's a function of professional
management.
