Questions: I don't want to be dealing with theft. How can you assure me that I won't be firing someone over stealing a candy bar?
Answer: Theft is the #1 question customers have. First, we need our clients to buy in to advising their staff that theft will affect everyone and isn't acceptable. Second, we as the operator will provide and monitor security cameras that will be reviewed in the event our inventory is off.
If we find we have an issue, we will work with you to address it in a professional manner.
Question: This seems like it will take up too much space.
How big will this be?
Answer: Our market should fit in to the existing space allotted for vending machines. We can make a better use of the space provided and often use less energy with this solution.
