I have a laundry which I run the soda and snack machines however the ice cream machine I receive commissions on from another company. The ice cream machine, according to this company, does approximately half of what my snack machine does per month, half of what my Coke machine does each month. Does anyone else have an ice cream machine in your laundry together with a snack or soda machine and if so what percents of business does each do?
Thanks for your help,
Dan

Give me another three weeks and I'll let you know my experience. I have the same setup as you, but just put in the ice cream at the beginning of the month. I'm a little worried about the electrical costs on the machine - have you seen a difference? What type of commission are you getting? I'll only be receiving 12% which makes me wonder if it's worth it (if it just covers the electrical, etc.).
We tryed ice cream with a vendor but it took away from our sncak machine business and it was so messy we had it removed after the summer. Maybe this summer I will add a gatorade machine from Pepsi.

We get 20% commotions on the ice cream. As far as our set up we have a Coke machine, Pepsi machine, snack machine and ice cream machine. The ice cream machine is the only one that is not ours.
Here is the break down of sales on each.
Coke 27%
Snack 37%
Pepsi 21%
Ice Cream 15%
Also since the beginning of the year, weather is getting warmer, our ice cream commissions have fallen each month.
Any one else have and ice cream machine you know the true sales on combined with a snack or soda machine?

My ice cream sales came in at or above the vending and about the same as soda, but my income is alot less since I only receive 12%. Don't know if I'll keep it for the long term
Just got a coffee machine in my mat Is sells 9 different hot drinks and does really well in the morning.
