If you have chosen a basic model, you may be able to dispense only one product at a time.

In that case you can go for combination of products like snack and soda or coffee and snacks.

  Target profit margins: Profit margins are no doubt very high in vending business but these are not same across and keep changing from one product to another. So if you are particular about making huge money then you need to choose products that have high profit margins.
