Frequently Asked Questions
What's the benefit of working with you?
When we bought our vending machines, we realized fairly quickly that there were not a lot of resources and experts in the vending world. Vending is an industry that has very little digital exposure, and finding reliable sources for repairs, advice, and sourcing has taken us years to find. We have made a lot of mistakes that have cost us thousands of dollars. Our goal is to become a safe, trustworthy resource for you as you get started.
What's different between Oden Vending and other "mentorship" programs?
Other vending programs require tens of thousands of dollars and at the end of the program you may or may end up with one profitable location and a few vending machines. In our experience they charge a high premium for a few weeks of training and some ideas of locations you could potentially place your machines in. Most of these training programs offer generic, virtual trainings for a nationwide audience. We are a hands-on business consisting of just us! That means you will always have direct access to the people who have actually filled the machines, found locations, negotiated commissions, created systems, managed vending employs, repaired the machines, etc. We will never hand you off to anyone else unless they are an expert in their own field (ie. sourcing machines, repairs, etc.)
I want to buy a machine for my kids to manage, is that possible?
Yes! Absolutely! One of the reasons we started this business is to be able to teach our kids how to run a business at a young age. We have multiple businesses and value entrepreneurship and ownership. We have suggestions of locations and machines that we feel are best suited for kids. We also might be biased but we think this is one of the best ways to teach kids about money and management.
I don't want to buy a machine or location, I am a business interested in having a machine at my location. Do you offer that?
Of course! We are always looking for great locations to pass on to our clients or to keep in our routes. Send us a message below and we will get back to you ASAP!
We are a business looking for a machine, but we want to manage it ourselves. Would we benefit from your trainings and machine?
We can definitely cater our training to a basic setup for a business. Adding a machine to your location will always add value for your customers or employees and will create additional cashflow. We would love to help you get setup and train your employees or you on how to manage your machine and make sure it's running smoothly! Contact us for more information!
