People are used to seeing vending machines everywhere and therefore perceive this to be a saturated market - they are wrong. At Snack Machine we target offices, call centres, retail sites and factories, placing the majority of our machines in staff rooms, not public areas.

With machines in sites such as Virgin, Zara, DHL, Dixons and Computer World, we have developed a vibrant business which we are now developing nationally. There is an expanding market out there - ask anyone if they know of a new business park or retail site in their region and the answer will nearly always be 'yes'. We know the best way to approach these businesses and will find and site the machines for you.

'The franchisee has control over price setting and product mix, allowing profits to be maximised.'

Snack Machine aims to provide a professional service with the personal touch that is lacking within the vending industry. It's not just about finding the sites, retaining those sites is key to the success of our business and that is one of our greatest strengths. The business manager, who has allowed the franchisee to site the equipment, deals with the franchisee not an impersonal call centre. The franchisee ensures that if a machine is empty, the customer will not have to wait weeks for it to be refilled.

Snack Machine offers a range of equipment and packages. You may be looking for a part-time role (eight hours a week) or you may want a complete lifestyle change. Snack Machine can tailor the packages to meet the franchisee's needs. The part-time package could be a great way to get started. Once you're happy with the role you can start to expand with more equipment, increasing your revenue as you grow.

We're not looking for qualifications or experience, just an enthusiasm and a willingness to learn, coupled with an ability to communicate with people.
