Quite often, you will encounter issues with your custom-made vending machine. While some can be fixed within minutes, others are quite intense that you need to wait for days to get the machine up and running again. Of course, power outages don’t count as a problem as they’re out of your hands.
Regardless of what’s causing the problem, know that repairs can always be done. These repairs generally start with a simple test. A qualified repair technician will take a coin, insert it into the machine, make a selection, and wait. He will make observations and take note of some important aspects.
Did the machine take the coin? Did the machine take the bills? Did it give the correct item that was asked for? Did it give the exact change? Did the item turn over? By asking questions like these, it will be easier for the technician to find out what’s causing the problem.
In most cases, vending machine problems are caused by a tight or loose bolts. In these situations, Vaseline and a wrench can be very helpful.
For situations that cannot be fixed on site, technicians would usually recommend buying replacement parts. The manufacturer of the vending machine itself can provide these parts, so you need not worry.
While your vending machine is under repair, make sure to put up a respectful yet apologetic signage to let your customers know that the machine is currently being serviced. If possible, let them know when it will be back to avoid any negative connotations.
So, when should these repairs be scheduled? Well, you can never tell when a repair is needed. But just in case, you can just leave your contact number somewhere on the machine. This way, consumers or any concerned individual can contact you when issues arise.
It is important to keep your vending machine looking clean and presentable as possible. After all, a clean vending machine will most likely attract more customers.
When it comes to cleaning a vending machine, you only need a few things. Just use an all-purpose cleaner and put it in a clean spray bottle. Use it on stains and smudges that have developed in the machine over time. After that, wipe the surface with a clean cloth or paper towel.
Once the inner part of the machine is cleaned, it’s time to clean the bottom part. If your vending machine has a bottom tray for collecting the overflowing liquid, remove it slowly and throw it properly. Next, wash the tray and let it dry before putting back.
Don’t worry about cleaning the inside parts of the machine. If you sourced your vending machine from a reputed manufacturer, then trust that the parts are tight and secure.
For business owners, caring and maintaining a custom-made vending machine may require spending lots of time, money, and energy. But when done properly, the machine itself should help generate steady income. It’s a win-win situation!
