Servicing And Repairing of Vending Machines

Usually, vending machine operators concentrate on factors like product and the location of the vending machines while setting up their vending business. A factor which may often be ignored is the vending machine services. You must understand that this is a significant component to ensure efficiency in machine operations.

Planet Antares Inc provides vending machine services to its operators but this does not undermine the need for you to have some basic knowledge in this regard. After all, you don’t want to be helpless in a situation where the customer waits in front of an inoperable machine. Here are a few tips for maintaining your vending machine.

Hire a Helper
If you have more than one vending machine, hire a person who can take care of the machines at all times. For busy people with other businesses running alongside, it is a big headache to keep track of every machine’s condition. So, getting a third person to do the refilling, repair and maintenance can reduce your burden as well as ensure that the vending machines are frequently stocked, updated and capable of continuous functioning. As compared to specialized services, the cost of hiring a third person is very low.

Self Service
Before calling a professional, you can try to fix the vending machine’s problems yourself. Small troubles may keep arising with minor faults in the machine. Calling a specialist each time can result in excessive repair costs that ultimately bring down your business profits. For example, a product may be stuck in the exit leading to a dispensing problem. Similarly, coins or quarters may be stuck in the coin receptacle. You can simply open the vending machine door and remove the erroneous candy or toy or coins rather than going through the professional service route.

Call a Professional
At certain times, your vending machine may face complex problems or even breakdown. Then, it is best to call a specialist to deal with the problem. You can take care of the basic issues but there are various technical or mechanical issues which may be beyond your capability. Planet Antares Inc provides professional services for all sorts of vending machine issues.

In the end, your vending business is just as good as your vending machines. So it is very important to keep them in good condition and functioning well.
