How long does it take to service a vending machine?
Depending on the type of vending machine, the time required to service it will be between 10 and 25 minutes. But you also need to take into account the time spent on moving to the machine. That is, the time costs will depend, among other things, on your speed of movement and on how correctly you draw up a route sheet.

If I don't have my own office, can I do vending?
There is no need to have your own office, as well as your own warehouse. Novice operators often use ordinary garages, their own basements, vehicles, etc. to store equipment and ingredients.

How good is vending in terms of profit?
Vending business initially implies "cash" profitability. You can invest in vending only the funds that you have, and it will be profitable. Of course, the more vending machines you have, the more profitable your vending business will be.

How saturated is the vending machine market in Russia?
Currently, we can say that the market is practically not saturated compared to other countries. There are a lot of promising vending niches in Russia, some of which are not occupied at all. The market for coffee machines in Russia is more saturated, and here we can already talk about competition. The market of payment terminals is also quite saturated, in addition, competition in this sector is made up not only by large networks, but also by banks.

Can store-bought coffee be used to fill a vending machine?
It is possible, but not necessary. It is recommended to buy ingredients that have been made specifically for vending.

What should be the optimal margin in a vending machine?
As a rule, in coffee machines, the cost of the drink is low, and the selling price set is at a fairly high level. So, the cost of coffee can be only 3-5 rubles per serving, and the selling price ranges from 15 to 35 rubles.

In a snack machine, prices must be higher than store prices, otherwise there will be no tangible economic effect from trading. For example, the wholesale price of a bottle of water is 8 rubles. In ordinary stores, the markup is 30-40%, respectively, the cost of water is at the level of 11 rubles. The amount of earnings on each bottle in this case will be 3 rubles. If you use store prices in a snack machine, one refill of 240 bottles will bring only 720 rubles (240x3 = 720). Such a small income will not even cover transportation costs, not to mention profits. The operator must set the price not lower than 20 rubles per bottle, which is of course more expensive than in the store.

If we talk about hot drinks, then the markup is usually 300-500%. The margin on other products, as a rule, is kept in the range from 30 to 50%.

We want to move the coffee vending machine to a new location. Is it possible to do it yourself?
Highly undesirable. The vending machine requires special preparation before any transportation. In some situations, it is allowed to slightly move the machine, but be sure to first consult with a specialist from our company.

Manufacturers strongly advise transporting vending machines only in an upright position. And whether to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer - decide for yourself. If the vending machine was operated before transportation, then check that all fluids have been drained from its hydraulic systems. When transporting, you must also ensure that the coin bin is empty.

What price to set for coffee in a coffee machine?
The main rule is not to overdo it. Set a small or medium markup. In this case, buyers attracted by low prices will rush to your machine. Otherwise, customers will prefer a place where drinks and snacks are sold cheaper.

Do I need to order advertising for a coffee machine?
You don't need to do this. You sell products differently than regular retailers. The manufacturers of the goods that are sold through your devices have already organized grandiose advertising campaigns, so the demand is guaranteed.

Will I need my own transport?
At first, you don't need a vehicle. However, as your business grows, you will definitely need a car. Indeed, without it, servicing the machine is not easy, which means that you will have to purchase your own vehicle.

Does a technician servicing a coffee machine have to issue a medical book?
Yes, this is a required document for the technician servicing the machine. You will also need a health passport and a car. Another option is to enter into an agreement with a company providing transport services or with a supplier of components.

How to conduct the proceeds that you have drawn from the payment terminal?
There are no state rules regarding how exactly the funds received from the operation of the payment terminal should be accounted for. You need to focus on the points of the law "On Accounting". For registration, you can use the forms offered by Rosstat.

Today, several universal reporting forms have been developed for enterprises operating payment terminals. Among them is the accounting form N 25-ON “Act for calculating the sales proceeds withdrawn from the changeable cash desks” - the back page of the receipt for accounting for the proceeds of the cash registers of vending machines. The law also does not prohibit the independent development of forms of primary documentation for the delivery of funds received at the payment terminal.

We offer you a few tips on how to process the proceeds from the self-service terminal and at the same time not break the law:
- withdraw funds received in the terminal;
- on the spot write an act for receiving the proceeds;
- Arriving at the office, draw up an incoming cash order for all proceeds. This document indicates the inventory number of the terminal;
- with a cash receipt, you go to your bank and deposit money there.

What are the features of vending machines with spiral dispensing?
Versatility is an undoubted advantage of spiral vending machines. However, they also have disadvantages:

1. Items may get stuck in the spiral.
2. The spiral automatic machine does not allow products to be stacked tightly, so it requires frequent maintenance (the internal capacity is limited by the spiral pitch and space for rotation).

What can be traded through the snack vending machine?
Through such a vending machine, you can sell almost anything: chocolate bars, ready-made salads in plastic containers, cans with drinks, medical shoe covers, DVDs and CDs, electronics, contact lenses. The spirals of the snack vending machine come in various shapes, so you can place goods of a wide variety of packaging in them. The freshness of food products will help to keep the built-in thermostat with temperature support from +3°C.

It all depends on the time you are willing to devote to this work, and your financial expectations. To calculate, use the following practical data: one person per day is able to service ten devices at full employment.

Can my relatives participate in servicing vending machines?
Operating vending machines is one of the most common family businesses around the world. A lot of entrepreneurs involved in vending involve their children in servicing the machines. Taking part in the business, children not only help their parents service the machines faster and more efficiently, but also learn the basics of the business, and also receive their first earnings.

When will I get my first profit from vending machines?
Vending attracts, first of all, by the fact that the installed device begins to bring money from the first day. You do not have to work for many months or years, collect your customers - the result is felt immediately.

What complications in relations with the sanitary and epidemiological station can be expected when installing a coffee machine?
If you use certified machines and products, issue health books for yourself and your technicians, then most likely there will be no problems - except for the quality of the water.

How often do you need to come to the point where the machine is installed?
It depends on the type of machine itself and the intensity of sales. On average, one visit per three days is obtained for a snack machine or once a day for a fresh juice machine. Snekovy machines can be serviced and once every seven days. A strict rule is to monitor the neatness and sanitary and hygienic condition of the machine, as well as the serviceability of the grounding.

Can a regular coffee vending machine be installed in a school?
I plan to install a coffee machine in the middle school. But I heard that Rospotrebnadzor does not allow offering ordinary coffee to schoolchildren - only decaffeinated. It's right?

It will be easier to refuel freeze-dried coffee without caffeine. Under the current rules, school students are not recommended to sell hamburgers, drinks with a high content of gas, tonics, kefir and other dairy products containing ethanol, alcohol and regular coffee. When agreeing on the installation of a machine, discuss this issue with the director of the institution, because sanctions can be applied specifically to him.

How does the vending machine consume electricity?
The amount of electricity consumed directly depends on the number of sales. Those. if, for example, coffee sells well, then the heating element of the coffee machine will heat the water all the time. If canned drinks are sold in the snack vending machine, the vending machine system will work for cooling. The vending machine is powered by a regular 220 volt socket, consuming the same amount of energy as a conventional household appliance, such as a kettle.

How can I start my vending business?
To begin with, first of all, it is desirable to draw up a business development plan, and in writing. This plan should clearly define the goals and main objectives, as well as list the actions that need to be taken to achieve these goals. Determine exactly what duties should be performed by employees of the organization or members of your family (if it is a family business). Make a schedule to achieve goals and accomplish tasks. Creating a business plan can be considered a full-fledged beginning of a vending business.

Will I get a lot of money doing vending business?
It all depends on what type of vending machines you choose and where you install them. The busier the installation site, the higher your income.

What if the machine fails or requires service?
Today, all companies selling vending machines provide their warranty and post-warranty service. If you need spare parts or repairs, you can contact our technical department.

Does it make sense to buy used commercial equipment?
You can buy used equipment only if you can see it in operation at the time of sale. If you take devices that were in use and cannot check them in practice, then your actions should be as follows: first transfer the advance payment for the machine, and after receiving the equipment and checking its operation, pay the remaining amount. You can find used equipment on special bulletin boards.

Why do different sellers have different prices for the same vending machine model?
Firms-sellers include in the final cost of the machine the price for their services, which is different for everyone. In addition, the cost of regional trading companies often includes a delivery fee. Exclusive dealers usually sell machines at a lower price than regional suppliers.

What is meant by a "trade line" of vending machines?
A “trading line” (the word “bundle” is also often used) is a combination that includes two or more devices. Most often, this is one floor coffee vending machine and one or two snack vending machines. All machines are united by one payment system, which is located in the coffee machine. Such a scheme makes it possible to save on the installation of additional payment systems and sell two or more products at a discount. The customer will be able, for example, to purchase a cup of coffee, a can of lemonade and a chocolate bar at a reduced cost.

Table Top - vending machines installed on tables. Usually they stand in office premises and other places with low traffic. As a rule, they are used without a payment system - in particular, in offices. Calculations are made at the end of a certain period (for example, a month) for the amount of consumed ingredients. The calculation is not affected by the number of coffee cups drunk.

The Moscow Department of Education will ban the installation of vending machines in schools and kindergartens. The remaining machines, which sell chocolates, chips and sweet drinks, will be dismantled before spring. M24.ru was told about this by Deputy Head of the Department of Education Viktor Fertman and Head of the Department of Trade and Services Alexei Nemeryuk.

The proposal to remove the existing automatic kiosks from the territory of educational institutions and not to install new ones came from the city's advisory council of the parent community under the department of education. The city authorities supported the request of the schoolchildren's parents. "Vending machines have been in schools since ancient times. They are allowed. Colleagues from the Department of Education have their own vision that vending should not exist in principle. Therefore, the existing contracts should be terminated and the machines will be removed from educational institutions"- said Nemeryuk. A decision will be made shortly by the Department of Education.

Lyudmila Myasnikova, Chairman of the City Advisory Council of the Parents' Community under the Department of Education, said that the decision to eliminate vending machines was made at the level of interdistrict school councils back in August 2015 and was sent to all schools, deputies of the Moscow City Duma and Rospotrebnadzor. In addition, in September, parents asked to provide children with food during after-school, sections and circles, so the buffets at schools began to work longer. According to experts, the wrong high-calorie products are most often sold in vending machines, and frequent “ snacks ” disrupt the digestive process. The ban on vending machines was recently discussed in the Moscow City Duma.

. . . . . This was reported by the network portal m24.ru with reference to the words of the Deputy Head of the Department of Education Viktor Fertman and the Head of the Department of Trade and Services Alexei Nemeryuk.

A. Nemeryuk explained that agreements on vending kiosks would be terminated. . . . . . "Not banned yet, but we will, because we listen to the expert advice of parents who are categorically against vending machines"- explained V. Fertman.

A. Nemeryuk also added that he took part in the conference call, where a collegial decision was made. “I don’t have this final protocol yet, but we expect it to come. The decision will be made by the Department of Education”- concluded A. Nemeryuk.

. . . . .

Vending machines will soon be removed from the capital's educational institutions. This decision was made on the basis of the opinion of the parent community, which almost unanimously spoke out against the presence of robotic kiosks in schools and kindergartens. According to the head of the Department of Trade and Services of Moscow, Alexei Nemeryuk, it is planned to dismantle the devices before the spring of this year.

. . . . . Therefore, the existing contracts must be terminated, and the devices will be removed from educational institutions," Alexey Nemeryuk said in a conversation with a correspondent of the m24.ru portal.

The proposal to eliminate vendi kiosks from schools and kindergartens came from the city's advisory council of the parent community under the Department of Education.

"The expert council decided to discuss this issue at a conference call, which included 37 inter-district school councils. At the end of August, we issued a conclusion from the expert council, where we expressed the opinion of all parents - we do not need vending machines in schools. Since we cannot ban them, we made a recommendation, where they listed all the cons", - said the chairman of the council, Lyudmila Myasnikova. This opinion was supported by both the Metropolitan Department of Education and the Department of Commerce and Services of the city.

According to parents, instead of chocolates and chips that children bought at robotic kiosks, children who study in circles and sections after school should be provided with full-fledged food, and for this it is necessary to extend the work of school buffets.

Recall that now an experiment is underway in the capital to introduce two menu options in schools, from which schoolchildren will be able to choose dishes to their liking.

In the capital's schools and kindergartens, the installation of vending machines will be banned, Deputy Head of the Department of Education Viktor Fertman said.

Fertman told M24 that the city authorities supported the request of schoolchildren's parents to remove existing vending machines from the territory of educational institutions - general education schools and kindergartens - and not to install new ones. . . . . .

The head of the Department of Trade and Services Oleksiy Nemeryuk added that agreements on vending kiosks would be terminated. . . . . .

The Department of Education of the capital listened to the opinion of the parent community after 11 years.

Vending machines for food and drinks in Moscow schools appeared in 2005 at the initiative of the Moscow Department of Education.

Then it was assumed that food from vending machines should make up for the missing food for schoolchildren. Over the past 11 years, more than 1.5 thousand Moscow schools have acquired vending machines and schoolchildren have a legal opportunity to indulge in a variety of chocolates, sweets, sweet drinks and chips. There would be pocket money.

The perfect student breakfast: nutritionist tips and kitchen secrets

And here is a new twist: the Department of Education decided to dismantle all the machines in record time - before spring.

The official version says that the authorities supported the initiative of the advisory council of the parent community under the Department of Education.

At the same time, previously concluded agreements on vending kiosks will be terminated. Alexei Nemeryuk, head of the trade and services department, said: “Vending machines have been in schools since ancient times. . . . . .

Both parents and authorities are supported by doctors. Zhanetta Gorelova, head of the laboratory of the scientific basis for monitoring the nutrition of students at the Research Institute for Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents, believes that food from vending machines harms the balanced nutrition of children during their stay at school.

According to the expert, in vending machines most often it consists of incorrect high-calorie foods, and frequent snacking disrupts the digestive process, so it’s better not to use vending machines at all.

This proposal came from the city's parent community advisory council under the Department of Education.

Vending machines with soft drinks and snacks have been in schools for a long time, but colleagues from the Department of Education believe that vending should, in principle, not be in educational institutions. Therefore, the existing contracts will be terminated, and the devices will be removed.

According to the head of the laboratory of the scientific basis for monitoring the nutrition of students at the Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection for Children and Adolescents, Zhanetta Gorelova, the range of products from the devices does not meet the needs of the child's body.

"The range of products in vending machines can be regulated by leaving there products that do not require storage in the refrigerator: milk, juice, cookies. But more often they sell the wrong high-calorie products, and frequent snacks disrupt the digestive process, so it's better not to use vending machines at all", Gorelova specified.

In the near future, such a ban will be introduced at the legislative level.

This was announced by the Deputy Head of the Department of Education Viktor Fertman. He told the city news agency, “ Moscow " that the proposal came from an expert council of parents, and the city authorities supported this initiative.

Let's skip the historical or hysterical epic about the fact that in our country not yet every school has a vending machine, and how profitable it really is, and it's better to immediately move on to studying foreign experience and to the "harsh" Russian reality.

16.3% of all US vending machines (out of about 7 million total vending machines) are installed in schools and colleges, which is approximately 1.5 million machines. Previously, as a rule, these were snack machines and vending machines selling water and drinks.

We all know the confrontation between giants like Coca-Cola and Pepsi for installing their vending machines with their drinks in educational institutions.

But now, when the entire American population is concerned about the nation's obesity, and especially childhood obesity, all "unhealthy" foods are being withdrawn from school canteens and school vending machines. Soda is being replaced by dairy products, cholesterol-containing snacks are being replaced by fruits and cereal products. Simply put, the era of "healthy filler" is beginning for vending machines installed in US schools. The same Coca-Cola company began to “bulk out” healthy brands for schoolchildren one after another

But as they say, without wasting time, the American company selling vending machines manufactured in the USA, Crane Merchandising Systems, quickly found a new market for its products - Russia. And from our side, the Vendomir Company took up the implementation of one of the key tasks: to create CJSC Automated Services to equip more than 1,000 Moscow schools with American vending machines.

The initiator of the mass introduction of unhealthy snacks in Moscow schools was the Moscow Department of Education. Back then, according to some officials, the soda and snack vending machines at the school were supposed to make up for the malnutrition of students.

“Vending machines will be supplied to 559 schools of the capital for catering at the expense of parents in the coming academic year. Vladimir Malyshkov, head of the Moscow Consumer Market and Services Department, told reporters about this on Wednesday. “More than 80 types of food products will be presented in these machines,” he said.

And at the end of September 2005, the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, boldly signed an order according to which vending machines for drinks and food will be installed in the capital's schools. The order states that such a decision was made "in order to further improve the organization of catering for students in the city of Moscow, improve the quality of their service, create favorable conditions for maintaining and strengthening the health of children and adolescents." The same document recommends that the metropolitan departments consider installing such machines in their subordinate institutions. And their installation was entrusted to Automate Services CJSC. The order opened the doors of more than 1,500 schools, cultural centers, children's centers for additional education, sports centers, etc. According to rough estimates, trading from vending machines was designed for 900,000 consumers. So the "school market" began to develop.

Ideally, a healthy student diet should consist of breakfast and lunch and provide 25% and 35% of the daily requirement for energy and nutrients. That is, it turns out two meals in general should give up to 60% of the daily intake of nutrients, including vitamins and trace elements. Canteens and canteens in educational institutions work only during the daytime, but most schools have clubs and sports clubs, and until late in the evening children are forced to either remain hungry or go out to buy something for themselves on the street.

But then it was not clear how the approved assortment of vending machines (chocolates and sweets) would be consistent with the children's diet. Even more questions were raised by the company, which the mayor's office instructed to feed the capital's schoolchildren. Large and old players of the vending market received the news of the mayor's order with surprise. As it turned out, nothing had been heard of Automate Services CJSC. So it was possible that the officials used someone else's idea in order to let their own structures earn money. The mayor's office failed to clarify this issue.

No one was interested in the opinion of parents and the compliance of the trade assortment with scientific and medical recommendations in the field of baby food, taking into account the numerous children's somatic diseases. According to numerous parents and specialists, the assortment list of products and drinks allowed for sale through vending machines in educational institutions of Moscow belonged to the category of "fast food" and, in accordance with sanitary standards, did not correspond to the stated task of improving the nutrition of schoolchildren.

The proposed bars "Snickers", "Mars", marmalade, chocolates, chewing gum and milkshakes only deceive the child's stomach, provoking gastritis, various other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, allergies and diabetes. It would be reasonable to place vending machines with drinking water and high-quality juices next to the gym - for schoolchildren involved in sections.

Went to denial

The All-Russian Parents' Committee spoke out against vending machines in Moscow schools. He considered that the clever American businessmen, who were forced out in the USA, having enlisted the support of the Moscow Government, turned our schoolchildren into guinea pigs.

And then the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, spoke differently and sharply. “When it comes to vending machines, we have to ask ourselves if we need them at all. So, in the USA there is an active process of removing vending machines from schools, we are seeing the same picture in France. However, we are planting automatic weapons in our schools in order to remove them later,” he said.

According to the mayor of the capital (who previously signed the decree on the installation of TA in schools), the food that is placed in these machines does not meet the medical standards of school meals. “The food sold there is fast food. He grabbed, chewed and became a physically problematic child,” Luzhkov said.

But earlier in the vending machines installed on the initiative of Mary, both chips and sparkling water were sold. Now, however, the Moscow government quickly decided that all vending machines should be reoriented to a drinking mode or a milk mode, or filled with other “healthy fillers”.

“If the supplier does not agree to this, then the machines will be liquidated,” said Valentina Varfolomeeva, deputy head of the Moscow Consumer Market and Services Department.

As a result, by the beginning of the 2007 school year, all Moscow schools removed vending machines selling sweets, chips and soda. At that time, there were 1,400 schools in Moscow, and almost all 1,400 Moscow schools had vending machines installed.

In 2008, the JFC Group (one of the largest banana suppliers in Russia) begins to install fruit vending machines in educational institutions in St. Petersburg. The pilot project started in five St. Petersburg schools. A banana in such a machine costs 10 rubles. In the future, it is planned to expand the range of fruits sold through vending machines. In addition to bananas, schoolchildren will be able to buy oranges, apples and carrots.

Education committee officials included the JFC initiative in an experiment on fortification of schoolchildren. The head of the company, Vladimir Kekhman, received approval for this experiment from Vice-Governor Alla Manilova. Likewise, carrot vending machines were installed in Latvian schools.

In fact, no matter how much you would like this, vending machines will never replace good nutrition for schoolchildren. Therefore, the sale of vending machines in schools should be accompanied by healthy products such as juice, vegetables, fruits, milk, water.

Therefore, the road to schools is completely open to pie vending machines, fruit and vegetable vending machines, milk vending machines, drinking water vending machines, etc., as well as soup and puree vending machines. All products sold must be approved by the SES. Accordingly, the machines must be safe for children, so do not forget about regular maintenance. maintenance and mandatory grounding of the vending machine.

And another machine, whatever one may say, must be vandal-resistant and, accordingly, from a good manufacturer. There was a case when schoolchildren were “fed” for free from one Russian-made device (we have no right to name the manufacturer here). One of the children bought goods in the machine, and while the machine gave change, he inserted another bill. The machine did not take the money and, but he credited them and gave out the goods.

Install vending machines in schools and be vigilant!

All students spend a lot of energy when studying textbooks, writing essays or solving complex problems with algorithms. A full meal or (if the change is small) a proper snack contributes to the restoration of strength and energy reserves. With the development of the vending business, more and more often school and university canteens are supplemented with vending machines. Company Vending C offers its services to equip your educational institution with coffee and snack machines.

Vending machines in schools and other educational institutions are not nonsense, but a new format of nutrition, which is officially supported by a special bill on additional nutrition for children from 7 to 18 years old. The bill says that children who are at school for more than 4 hours should be able to eat not only at the allotted time during breaks as part of an organized group, but also at will. Therefore, putting a vending machine in a school or other educational institution means taking care of the children and staff of the institution, providing them with a snack at will, as well as constant access to hot drinks.

Types of vending machines for schools and institutes

There are many types of vending machines:

traditional coffee machines that dispense several types of hot drinks;
snack machines that sell snacks for a quick bite;
combined machines that combine a range of all types of machines

Legal issues of installing machines in educational institutions

It is known that state institutions do not have the right to lease their premises, including for vending machines. Our standard machine installation contract is not a rental contract, so all legal requirements are met.

Requirements for the range of vending machines installed in private and public schools

In vending machines installed in schools, the range of products sold is strictly regulated. The list of goods in the vending machine is formed in accordance with special regulatory documents on the nutrition of children and adolescents at school and is approved by the educational institution itself. For example, coffee machines at school should not sell real coffee beans. Snack machines in schools should sell products of increased nutritional and biological value that will be useful for a growing child's body.

What should and should not be implemented by a coffee or snack machine if it is installed in a school? Here are some of the positions allowed for a school vending machine (each item is detailed in the law):

milk, plain or with the addition of natural fillers or juices;
sterilized yoghurt products, plain or filled;
cottage cheese products, plain or with fillers;
non-carbonated drinking water, natural juices and nectars, tea, cocoa, non-alcoholic and non-tonic drinks.

There should be no natural coffee in snack and coffee machines at school. Also, the machines should not contain meat and fish semi-finished products, culinary and confectionery fats.

Vending machines in colleges and universities

In relation to higher and secondary vocational educational institutions, where students over 18 years of age are trained, there are no requirements and restrictions on the assortment, similar to schools. Nevertheless, we always coordinate in detail the installation plan of the device in any educational institution and can form an individual assortment.

Business is always business. But have you ever thought that by making a great profit, you help solve the problems of entire educational institutions?

It's no secret that large queues form in the canteens of schools during breaks. Since the break between lessons is only 10 minutes, immediately after the bell, the children rush to the buffet. A typical situation that can be observed in all schools: high school students queue up at the buffet, as a result of which the kids simply do not have time to satisfy their hunger.

Due to long queues and short breaks, not all children have time to eat, which negatively affects their health, behavior and academic success.

Adolescence is a period of rapid growth, restructuring of body systems. The energy metabolism of a teenager differs from that of an adult.

A child's calorie intake is twice that of an adult.

The motor activity of a teenager is on average higher than that of an adult. Increased growth of bone and muscle tissue also requires additional energy expenditure. In order for the body's needs to be satisfied, a teenager must eat food worth about 3000 kcal per day, and if he plays sports, then 3100-3500 kcal.

That is why schoolchildren, in particular, primary school students, need to get food on time and in the right amount.

Parents of schoolchildren are very concerned that their children do not have time to satisfy their hunger at recess.

At the same time, not everyone is aware of the existence of such a problem. Are you sure that your child is not hungry at school?

It is clear that queues in school canteens are a serious problem that endangers children's health and needs to be addressed. That is why this project is socially important.

A modern and proven solution to this problem, which is already being actively implemented in Russian schools, is the installation of vending machines for the sale of pies

According to the Decree of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation of July 23, 2008 N 45 "On approval of SanPiN 2.4.5.2409-08", vending machines are recommended for installation in schools and comply with all sanitary standards set forth in the decree (clauses 4.2, 6.3, 6.20, 6.21, 6.31).

Why pies?

Pies are a natural product with a good calorie content, as well as a high content of carbohydrates necessary for the child to recuperate and gain energy.

According to a survey of schoolchildren's parents, 94% of them preferred a pie instead of a chocolate bar for their child. The filling is made only from natural ingredients - juicy fruits and berries, fresh vegetables and hand-selected chicken fillet, without the use of semi-finished products.

The filling for pies is made only from natural ingredients - juicy fruits and berries, fresh vegetables and hand-selected chicken fillet, without the use of semi-finished products.

Convenient implementation format

Due to the elimination of the human factor, making a purchase takes less than a minute, so the machine will help solve the problem of queues in school canteens and serve significantly more customers than a traditional outlet. The machine is equipped with information signs that will tell children how to get a pie.

The company "VendShop" has been specializing in the production of vending machines for the sale of food products for more than 10 years. Since we are constantly improving the equipment we produce, we managed to realize the wishes of our customers and create a unique snack machine, the purchase of goods in which will be comfortable, fast and affordable even for a child.

Anti-vandal glass covered with a special film is installed in the vending machine. This is very important for the safety of children.

Consider the sales statistics of one outlet.

Data required for payback calculation:

In many places, the machine can serve as an additional service, so the owner of the place may allow you to install it for free.

The owner of the vending machine loads the goods and carries out collection, therefore, the cost of wages for a mechanic serving him is 0 rubles.
