Vending

Hi all. Kleen Rite seems to be pushing their new in bay vending system (

What are you're thoughts on this? I currently have only mechanical vending machines, and they are more of a convenience to the customer than an actual money maker. For those who have this new vending machine, or currently have vending machines that accept credit card/electronic, how is your experience and is it worth upgrading?

If you guys do have it, how did you hook up power to the unit?

Thank you!

What’s your opinion on this? They state increased revenue for a current operator, but in my opinion, this is a headache waiting to happen for little return. The worst challenge in this business is getting customers to leave the wash bay after the timer expires. This idea only promotes tying up a wash bay for extensive drying and detailing. Losing wash bay revenue and upsetting waiting customers. Not to mention, the Vend Kits cost $3 each. So a wash bay is tied up for a total profit of $2. What do you think?
