Summer is great for soda vending

Summer is here. Well, not officially by the calendar, but schools are letting out and it is heating up. We should hit 100 F his week. I am so excited. As the temperature rises, the soda sales go up. I love summer time. Already, I can see sales increasing. I noticed that the pools at one of the apartment complexes that I have my soda vending machine opened last week.

As sales increase, so does coin jams and other mechanical problems. I have had to do a lot of monitoring of the vending machines at apartment complexes. I guess the people there have spring/summer fever like my four year old. The last two weeks I cannot get him to stop climbing the walls (literally, as well as trees, furniture, and anything else). Someone put 20 pennies in one of my machines last week. I have been checking one machine every day or two. I always put a sign on the machine that it is working and when it was last checked or fixed. That helps get the customers back faster after a big coin jam or two.

I just got a call about one of my machines making a popping sound. I am really curious about that one. I have to wait until the kids wake up from their nap.

Summer is wonderful for business. Go out and make some money.
