FAQ
- Are the vending locations contractually transferable?Read each site agreement for assignment, exclusivity, commission, utilities, access hours and termination. Confirm consent before valuing a location, because the machine can be moved while the profitable placement may not transfer.
- How can machine sales be independently verified?Reconcile telemetry, cash collections, card-processor statements and inventory movement by machine. Investigate long offline periods, manual adjustments and unexplained cash differences rather than relying only on route-level totals supplied by the seller.
- Who owns the machines and payment hardware?Match serial numbers to invoices, leases, financing and security registrations. Separate owned machines from site-owned units, leased card readers and supplier equipment, then confirm software licences and warranties can be reassigned.
- Do any machines sell temperature-sensitive food?Identify refrigerated, frozen or freshly prepared products and review local health requirements, temperature controls, alarms and cleaning records. Test fail-safe behaviour and stock disposal after outages before accepting historic spoilage estimates.
- Will cashless payment and telemetry accounts transfer?Check processor contracts, merchant rates, SIM plans, device ownership and portal administrator access. Confirm settlement accounts can change without disabling machines and export historical data before the seller closes personal credentials.
- How should route profitability be calculated?Calculate sales, product cost, site commission, card fees, spoilage, mileage and service time for each location. Include failed visits and machine repairs so distant low-volume placements are not supported by stronger nearby sites.
