While your primary duties will involve simply stocking your machines and collecting all the money, there are other functions of your business to consider:

Establishing an Account

Remember, you are not trying to sell anything. You are providing a business location with the opportunity to make money for doing absolutely nothing. You furnish the machine, maintain the unit, supply the product and write them commissions check every month. You are helping them to turn 2 square feet of dead empty space into cash.

Placing your machine is simply a matter of selecting a high traffic location like a mall, amusement park, family fun center, airport, skating rink, restaurant or any place people gather. The most powerful tool you have for locating the unit is demonstrating the machine itself. If you simply try to verbalize what you have by telling them about your "kinetic entertainment machine"- they just kind of stare at you with this blank look on their face. Most people don't know what "kinetic" means. They have no idea what you're trying to say. But when they actually see the Wacky in action; they love it! The lights, action, music, and excitement get them every time. When they actually see the unit, they understand the machine's value as an attraction and benefit to their business.

Placing your Machines on Location

The new model: Wowie-Zowie only weighs 165 pounds empty. It can easily be handled with a simple hand truck by a small lady. Many Wacky operators transport their machine using a pick-up truck or van. Once on location, load your product, wipe the machine down, plug it in and watch it work! While you are there, spend a few minutes to chat with the manager and say hello to all the employees. Hand out some samples ...make friends and have some fun. Believe us, once you show up with the Wacky, they will all gather around and ask a zillion questions and want to see the unit do all its tricks! Just relax...do some PR. Have a handful of quarters ready, dole them out, let everyone have a good time.

Recordkeeping / Collecting the Money

Most experienced vending operators agree that a system of cash control should be established from the very first day you start your business. There are a number of excellent software programs which can help organize your accounting and generate daily collection reports. A word of caution, don't let large amounts of cash accumulate in the machine. If the location is in a mall or amusement park, expect to make collections at least every 5 days. Also...consider keying your machine with the "baby-sitter" set up. That is key the product loading door different from the cash-door. That way, you can send a "baby- sitter" or route driver with the key to load the product into your machine. They only have access to the product, but you keep the key to the cash door and make all the money collections yourself.

Maintaining your Wacky

Your Wacky comes from the factory with a One Year Warranty. This includes all moving parts...plus the controller. If you have a problem...call Customer Service immediately. A new part can usually be sent UPS or FedEx the same day. Replacing parts involves common hand tools and is not difficult. The machine comes with a manual written by the factory reps who have included a great section on troubleshooting. There is a telephone number in the front of your manual direct to the factory. Maintenance of the Wacky is not exactly rocket science stuff ...but you might need some assistance every now and then. Don't hesitate to call.

Product Supplies - Gum / Candy

One of the first questions you will be faced with is "Where do I buy product for my Wacky machine?" Well...very simply the choice is yours. Most Wacky operators purchase from candy/gum wholesale companies. Depending on your area, the gum (1430 count) will cost about 1.2 cents each. You sell it for 25 cents...that gives you over an 1000% mark-up!
