Hotel (up to 20 employees) seeking a snack machine
- Daily foot traffic 21-40
- Open 7 days/week
Hotels deliver seven-day traffic, late-night captive demand, and guests who accept convenience pricing — one machine per floor bank or lobby placement near the elevator is the standard play.
Guests without cars, arriving late, or avoiding the mini-bar markup rely on vending. Beverage machines near ice makers are the proven pairing; select-service hotels without restaurants perform best.
Hotel chains often negotiate at the management-company level, so one relationship can open multiple properties. Expect commission expectations of 10-20% and a requirement for modern, quiet, card-enabled machines.
Approach the general manager for independent properties, or the regional management company for chains. One management-company relationship commonly covers several hotels.
Bottled water, soda, and salty snacks lead. Travel essentials (toiletries, phone chargers) vend well in lobby machines at select-service properties.
Usually 10-20% of gross sales, though smaller properties sometimes waive it to get a maintained amenity.
