Running a business involves constant pressure to enhance its performance, and we understand that challenge because we share the same drive for improvement.

One potential upgrade to consider is incorporating a vending machine into your establishment. Before making this decision, you might find yourself pondering questions like, “Will a vending machine bring profit to my business?” or “What is the cost associated with installing a vending machine?” Well, you don’t have to look any further.

At GoldStar, we embrace the entrepreneurial spirit and visionary leadership, characteristics that align with professionals like you. This commitment is reflected in our long-standing history of delivering customized vending solutions over the last 12 years. To assist you in making an informed decision about offering vending services, our team has compiled a list of the most commonly asked questions we receive.

1. How Much Does a Vending Machine Cost to Install?

Installing a vending machine in your building is completely free. This includes no charges for installation, no service fees, and no costs for delivering products—absolutely nothing.

Our guiding principle is, “we are your smart business partner,” This translates to us taking care of everything, from the installation process to managing inventory, as long as we can position our machines in excellent locations.

This economical, high-return choice benefits everyone involved. We get to showcase our products, and your employees get to enjoy tasty food and beverage options, creating a mutually beneficial arrangement.

2. How Many Customers Do I Need to Get a Vending Machine?

As a general guideline, having around 50 people in an office or building is an excellent starting point to think about introducing on-site vending services. However, even with just 30-40 people, having a soda machine could be justified. These numbers guarantee there’s sufficient demand to keep the products moving.

If your building houses hundreds of people, you might want to think about having multiple machines or even setting up a micro market.

3. What Does the GoldStar Vending Product Assortment Look Like?

We have a broad portfolio that caters to diverse preferences. Whether you’re in search of health-conscious food and drink options or inclined towards a more traditional selection of soft drinks and snacks, we’ve got the products to meet your needs. It’s crucial to keep in mind that the products you choose will influence the type of machines we’ll install. In other words, the variety of offerings you want will determine the specific vending machines we recommend and set up for you.

4. What are the Space Requirements for Vending Machines?

You likely require less space than you might think, as the standard vending machine dimensions are only 72 inches in height, 39 inches in width, and 33 inches in depth. However, it’s essential to factor in additional space for plugging in the machine, opening its door, and ensuring customers have enough room to comfortably browse their options.

Our strength lies in the flexibility we offer regarding space. You may already have a suitable break room or kitchen where an office vending machine would fit perfectly. With a bit of rearranging, you can easily create enough space for one or two machines, all while maintaining a comfortable area for guests to relax and enjoy their meals.

5. Can you Provide Healthy Vending Options?

Across the nation, there’s a growing trend as people seek healthier food and drink choices from manufacturers and suppliers. Today’s consumers specifically desire products free from preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and antibiotics. Fortunately, we’re at the forefront of this shift.

Recognizing that the demand for healthier vending machine options is enduring, we’ve taken steps to stay ahead of the curve. Our diverse portfolio includes a range of better-for-you snacks and natural selections. Moreover, our account team collaborates closely with all our partners to ensure that the products in our vending machines align with their priorities and preferences.
