Hotel/Spa/Gym vending
Hi i am busy on here today!
Just wondering if anybody here does vending in hotels and Spas etc?
I operate a few Coin operated GHD's and i have one in Crewe Hall in Cheshire.
Actually owned by QHotels who are quite a big organisation.
The GHD does ok but they have asked on a couple of occasions if i could do some vending for paracetamol and other things that guests need.
Apart from that is there any other vending that does well in Hotel/Spa/Gyms?
Thanks
Lee

Re: Hotel/Spa/Gym vending
mate get the ghd's into town centre pubs,forget about spas as most i am sure will have their own already,if they havnt they arent much of a spa in my mind,you need foot fall for these so city centre pubs are the way forward without a shodow imo..
i wouldnt bother too much with the washroom stuff either as they really dont sell that well as i have found out to my cost in the past..

Hi Dave, i have had them in pubs and clubs before but they get broken when some skank decides to try and nick the Ghd!Happyvending wrote:mate get the ghd's into town centre pubs,forget about spas as most i am sure will have their own already,if they havnt they arent much of a spa in my mind,you need foot fall for these so city centre pubs are the way forward without a shodow imo..

They do ok in Crewe Hall (£15 a week) and you dont get any damage.

Paul, that's interesting maybe you should get your poor performers into more of these locations?paulb wrote:Hi Lee,

Be careful with large hotel chains. The area Manger syndrome often occurrs and you get shoved. I lost a good Best Western this way recently.
Thanks,
Paul

Fortunatley they are aware of the machine and i have had a number of other Hotels in the chain contact me for a machine but i have had to turn them down as the distance is too far.Rossi fan wrote:Be careful with large hotel chains.

I am up for it if in my area.
Could be first steps to the making of vend and glow as a mainstream concept?

If you want to run the Ghd's i would be happy to pass on your details as a supplier?
The chain is Qhotels....pretty big!
I have 3 or 4 spare Ghd machines at the mo. Will sell at £229+Vat (used condition but still work perfect)
I know one in Lincoln wanted a machine but not sure about the rest it's up to the individual managers but head office are fine with it.
Cheers
