Buying a vending machine is straightforward once you know the order to do things in. Here’s the path most of our customers follow.
Before you call: have the location’s address, the spot’s measurements and a photo of the outlet ready. Your rep can match a machine to it faster.
1. Start with the location, not the machine
The location decides everything: what people want to buy, how much space you have, whether the site is indoors and supervised, and how much traffic it sees. Get the location (or a short list) first.
2. Pick the type of machine
- Snack machine for chips, candy and packaged snacks.
- Drink machine for bottles and cans.
- Combo machine when the site only has room for one.
- AI smart cooler for indoor sites where people want drinks, snacks and fresh food with tap-to-pay.
- Specialty machines for vape, trading cards or arcade games.
Not sure? Read smart cooler vs. traditional vending.
3. Measure the space
Check the width of every doorway and hallway between the truck and the spot. Note the outlet: machines need a standard grounded outlet nearby. The spec table on each machine page lists dimensions and weight.
4. Set your budget
Machine price plus delivery, Florida sales tax, first inventory, and any software or cellular fees. Our cost guide breaks it down, and the payback calculator lets you test the numbers with your own estimates.
5. Buy, or get a quote
Machines with a listed price can be bought online by card, bank transfer, or monthly payments through Affirm or Klarna. For larger orders or specialty machines, request a quote and your rep builds one.
6. Delivery or pickup
Pick up locally in Orlando or Deerfield Beach, or choose white-glove delivery anywhere in Florida: we bring the machine inside and set it in place, same day when available. Your rep confirms the price and time.
7. Set up and start selling
Your rep helps you get the machine running and stays your contact for reorders, the same person from step 5 onward. For service, one call to our main line sends a technician.
