Can I make money by buying a vending machine and operating it?

Now vending machines are becoming more and more popular. Airports, railway stations, subway stations, etc. can be seen everywhere, bringing great convenience to passers-by. It is another new model of commercial development, which reduces labor costs and is also very convenient for the people. It is not clear what the gross profit margin of vending machines is, but it is believed that the gross profit margin of sales is quite objective in scenic spots or in places with a large number of people at the station. At present, the development of vending machines is still in the initial stage of development, the model is relatively simple, the management is not perfect, and the equipment supply needs to be improved. Sometimes there will be outages in places with a large flow of people, and no one will update for a long time, but on the whole, the development prospects of vending machines are very optimistic. As an emerging industry, vending machines are unmanned and intelligent, which seems to be the general trend of the retail industry, but it is not. As far as the current stage is concerned, it is very possible for a small number of venues to make money. Let's talk about why a single venue can make money. A small number of venues does not have so many personnel costs. One person can manage it, and faults can be discovered in time without affecting the normal operation of the machine. The managers place the vending machines separately in the malls, hospitals, schools and other places that can take care of them. These places have a large flow of people, and the profit of the single machine sales is guaranteed. However, on these occasions, vending machines are not easy to enter the market. People need to be connected. The cost of a machine is only hundreds of thousands of yuan. It does not matter. It is better for others to do more than to do less. This is the current situation. Smart vending machines seem to be smart. Compared with convenience stores, it only saves clerk costs and reduces space rent. However, other links did not reduce investment, but instead added a maintenance staff. In addition, the load capacity of the vending machine is small, which leads to an increase in the cost of replenishment personnel. The benevolent see the benevolent, and the wise see the wisdom. If this thing is really profitable, it has long been a monopoly industry. You must know that vending machines are not unusual. Regarding the vending machine, my advice is to choose a good venue, clear the relationship, make as many as you can, and make a little money, it is still possible.
