Vending is one form of business that requires little time management and maintenance. It does not require an employee that will manage it every day. This business is a good source of residual income, where you can earn money while you sleep. It has also the possibility of getting money to your pocket 24/7.

Vending, like other businesses, is not an easy success. To make it a profitable business in the Philippines, it still requires careful studying of the location, potential market, and also the concentration of people in the area. Here are some of the vending machines you might get interested in investing in.

Coffee Vending Machines

A lot of people drink coffee every day. Some drink from twice to several times a day. With the increased population of night-shift workers, a coffee vending machine placed inside a commercial building or establishment can serve these workers day in and day out, 24/7 and no commercial break.

One of the popular coffee vending companies is Barista Choi, which started doing its coffee vending franchising in 2012. They offer the machine itself and the supplies (coffee, sugar, cup) at a minimum investment of around 12,800 PhP. They have no franchise fee and the supplies for replenishment are bought from them.

Each cup is sold for 5 pesos. Excluding the costs (supplies and electricity), each cup gives a profit of 2.15 pesos. The monthly profit depends on how many cups are sold per day. If you can sell 100 cups per day for a month, the return of investment is only 2 months.



The maintenance for these kinds of machines is from medium to high because of the fact that they require electricity to operate.
