Buzzie8, I would never ask anyone or recommend that any kind of vendor be put in the bays or near every vac on the site. With a multi-vendor we recommend that an operator install one at the end of a vacuum island near the center of the vacuum island grouping. It is readily visible there and...

Building the security for the window of the multi-vendor has always been difficult to acheive without making the vendor unattractive or looking as if it was in “jail”. One method some people have tried is the use of expanded metal over the window for additional security, but this is not only...

With reference to V-Blog #43 and the Vending Formula posted below, the #1 priority for most operators is the security of the multi-vendor from vandalism or theft. The word “window” almost always gives operators (and vandals) the perception (as any window would) that this part of the...

impulse buying. 3. Multi-vendors are sometimes installed in recessed areas or alcoves with roll down doors that are locked during the hours the wash is closed. This is very popular in the Exterior Express wash model with free vacuums. Again the alcove where the multi-vendor is available...

This is my first Blog in over a year and I want to share some ideas and observations made as I traveled and studied the way Multi-Vend profit centers were used on car wash sites. Multi-Vends, glass-fronts, and window style vendors are all the different descriptions used for the same machine; a...

To All the Forum People---- We want to wish all of you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from all of us at ShurVend. Uncle Sam, Leslie, and Paul :)

The ADA regulations that cover vending machines have been changed, so all manufacturers of vending machines have had to redesign their doors to comply with the new regulations. What has changed is the height above the floor of the coin slot, the keypad, and the bill validator slot has been...

Response to posts Robert, In the formula stated above, I tried to look at each element from a customer's perspective. The only one that might be weighted a little more toward the owner/operator is SECURITY. There will be no vending sales from a window type vendor if the machine is not...

PRODUCTS that are available for selection is Priority #4. Experience over many years has proven that more product choices always leads to higher sales volume in a vending center. RELIABILITY of the vending machine is Priority #5. Our vendor operates continuously (24/7/365) requiring very...

While I was Studying and Observing---- We have been studying vending sales numbers over many years looking to create a “Formula” that shows the attributes necessary for successful vending results using ShurVend vendors. We pulled together all the knowledge and ideas learned from our customers...

I will Blog again and try to bring a new perspective and some new ideas to car wash vending as a profit center on a car wash site. The old ideas must pass away and new paradigm shifts must be made to use all the new technology that is being developed every day. I look forward to your...

Hello Again to the Forum--- It has been a little over a year since I last posted in the ShurVend User’s Group and then the User’s Group disappeared. There are many reasons for the hiatus I took for the year, but now my energy has returned and my go-get-‘em attitude is back. It was kinda...

Pix in the threads I agree with Soapy on the placing of pix in the threads. You can see what is being talked about which really helps. A pix is worth a thousand words!! We used to be able to do it in the early days of the Forum. I also want to add my thanks to Bill for this forum and...

The staff at ShurVend want to wish all those who follow this forum a Very Happy Thanksgiving. We all have so much to be thankful about. ShurVend has had a pretty good year and are very thankful for that. A very special "Thank You" to all of our loyal customers; we appreciate it. Uncle Sam :)

Thanks for all the recommendations Hello All, Thanks to all of you who made ShurVend your recommendation for a vendor. We appreciate it very much. I have not posted very much in the last year; kinda took a sabbatical from the Forum for awhile. I intend to reinstate the users group...

I have delayed almost a month after the show to see if anybody would report about the show. This is a post that I don’t enjoy doing because my headline says it all!! The attendance was worse than the WCA show right after 9-11 when no one was traveling and the Uncle Sam persona was started...

Lighted keypad Wax, There is a lighted keypad that is coming with all new AMS vending machines very soon. It is only numeric and retrofitting it into your existing alpha-numeric vendor will take some work (and money). I have done it once with the existing numeric keypad, so it just takes...

I am very surprised the the WCA staff has not used this area of the Forum to present information and dates for the WCA Show. ShurVend will be exhibiting at the show in San Diego on September 18-20 in Booth #813 and showing a new high security vendor named the VendPro-iG4RL that is a 32...

Couple of Options coincarwash.ca, You most likely replaced the plastic coin cup with what the vendor company calls a "vandal resistant" coin cup made out of sheet metal. It is not very heavy steel and the "deflector" in it can be blown out using rebar (in this case) or a heavy screw driver...

Refund Cup Coincarwash.ca I'm not sure I understand exactly how the hoodie is getting the money. Is he breaking the bottom of the changer and emptying a tube or tubes? The refund slot has to be left open for customers to get change, so it is not so easy to fix. They are making this...
