About this course

This course walks a beginner through building a real vending business from the first machine to a multi-machine route. You will learn machine types and acquisition math, how to scout and pitch high-traffic locations, product and pricing strategy that protects margin, and how telemetry and route software turn restocking from guesswork into a scheduled, low-touch system. Every module uses named equipment, real benchmark numbers, and worked profit-and-loss examples.
