Vending machines have certain requirements for the level of local economic development as well as the functional stability of the machines that sell goods at certain locations.

Generally, the more developed areas are, the more advantageous they are, because in developed areas such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, labor costs are high. The average monthly salary of office workers is about 10,000, and one can buy a vending machine with 1-3 months’ salary. machines, and one employee can manage more than 10 vending machines at the same time. Compared with manned stores, vending machines can save a lot of labor expenses. But this is not possible in economically backward areas. An employee's monthly salary is 23,000 yuan, and a vending machine is equivalent to an employee's salary for half a year or even a year. The relative cost is too high. Of course, this is not absolute. It may be a good business to operate vending machines in small counties where there is a particularly large flow of people, but good locations in backward areas are very limited.

Generally, universities, factories, and hospitals rarely lose money. The reason is very simple. Places with large numbers of people are relatively closed, and competition is small. Although there are many people in a bustling commercial district, it is not suitable for many shops and too much competition.

In addition, if the products sold are fast-moving consumer goods with large sales and stable markets, beverages and snacks are the best choice. Although these products are not huge profits, they have large sales, and there is almost no risk of losing money. They are mature. All operators sell snacks and drinks. It’s not that other products don’t make money, it’s that the risks are particularly high and it’s easy to lose money.

In addition, you must choose a vending machine with good quality and many functions. If the quality is not good, it will often break down, just like a taxi, and you will not have to work on repairs. If it has few functions, it does not support wireless remote background management system. Cutting off the operator's legs is inefficient.

If you do the above points, there is basically no risk in operating a vending machine.
