Opening a vending kiosk: step by step with our free guide

Your own 24/7 vending kiosk sounds exciting – but how do you actually get started? Which location is right? Which machines do you need? And how do you plan the opening? That is exactly why we have created a free step-by-step guide. It takes you in five stages from the first idea to the first customer – and you simply tick off what is already done.

Five stages, 28 steps to tick off

The guide is structured the way a vending kiosk is actually created:

• Idea and calculation: who is your kiosk for, and what does your calculation look like?
• Premises and permits: what to look out for when choosing the location and the premises.
• Machines and technology: which machine mix suits your location and your customers.
• Product range and prices: how to tailor your offering to your target group.
• Opening and operation: from the opening day to day-to-day operation.

For each of the 28 steps there are practical tips from our experience. Your progress is saved, and you can download the complete checklist as a PDF.

For founders and operators with expansion plans

Whether you are planning your first vending kiosk or want to expand your existing vending business with your own shop: the guide gives you a clear order and shows which decisions are due when. We know from practice: a small shop typically starts with three to four machines.
