Top 50 Vending Items ??

[Somerset]

Hi Everyone

I have just got a used Shoppertron 431 for our Hotel - we don't do any food at all here so Im thinking this might fill a gap.

Now, while I have an idea of what to put in there (I have the soft drinks and various crisp snacks in the bar), I could do with some input if you wouldnt mind.

So, would anyone care to share their Top 50 List of vending items (drinks/snacks) please?

At this early stage, Im not putting a microwave with it but know its a great option as we get used to it.

I am putting in travel size toothpaste, deoderant, tampax etc in there.

Cheers
Paul

Bloody Hell - doesn't time fly - it's been nearly a year.

We are FINALLY ready to start vending.

I have purchased a technician-refurbished Polyvend 32 (16 crisps and 16 choc bars) which is coming on Monday - does anyone have an online manual for this please as I could do with having a read over the weekend.

I also pushed the boat out and purchased a brand new Bev Max 4 35 with the x-y vend. Comes with new coin mech and new note acceptor at a great price of £5113 inc vat and 5 year warranty. That comes on Tuesday.

Now, Im back to thinking of what to put in them.

The BevMax will be purely for soft drinks and beer/cider/ale cans and bottles (we are an over 18s hotel so no kids). Hoping it will handle bottles of milk too.

The chilled Polyvend will be crisps, chocolate, pasties, burgers and some toiletries.

We have weekly deliveries from Booker for a lot of the items.

HOWEVER, can anyone suggest any national suppliers for other vending items please? Do any of you use Ginsters for instance?

Thanks

If you have a lot of eastern europeans at your hotel they go mad for the cheapest, nastiest energy drinks you can find.

The more sugar and E numbers the better!
