FAQ
- How should you verify the vending locations included in the sale?Review every placement agreement for term, commission, exclusivity, termination and change-of-control provisions. Confirm each host will retain the machine after closing and compare contracted locations with actual collections, telemetry and service records.
- Which food compliance issues should you check?Identify which machines sell refrigerated or potentially hazardous food, then verify applicable provincial health requirements, temperature logs, cleaning records and inspections. Confirm packaged products meet Canadian ingredient, allergen and nutrition labelling rules.
- How can you test revenue reported for each machine?Reconcile cash collections, card settlements and telemetry to machine-level sales and bank deposits. Compare refill quantities with units sold, investigate unexplained variances, and separate commissions, sales tax, refunds and payment-processing fees.
- What should you inspect in the vending machine fleet?Record ownership, serial number, age, location, condition and repair history for every machine. Identify leased payment terminals, unsupported models, refrigeration failures and near-term upgrades needed for contactless payments, telemetry or accessibility.
- How should you assess route profitability?Calculate contribution by stop after product cost, host commission, card fees, spoilage, fuel and service labour. Include travel time and refill frequency; a high-sales machine can still underperform on an inefficient route.
- Which inventory risks matter at closing?Count stock in the warehouse, vehicles and machines by SKU and expiry date. Exclude expired, damaged or slow-moving products, confirm supplier rebates and return rights, and define responsibility for cash inside machines.
