When someone passes a vending machine, what do they usually see? Probably candy bars, potato chips or other forms of not-so-healthy foods. YoNaturals is a natural, organic vending option for schools, stores or office buildings but also has the potential to be a desirable franchise opportunity.
Another thing that won’t be seen on those other vending machines is probably the option to pay for your food or drink using a debit/credit card. Customers don’t always have cash on hand, or that one dollar bill might be torn beyond repair. Their will be no losing customers when they can just use debit/credit instead.
Of course the operator can’t always be at the machine daily to take care of things. They can be handled using remote monitoring software. Checking the sales made from the machine and control the inventory is as simple as using the computer at home.
The minimum investment for the YoNaturals vending opportunity is $30,000 and that comes with full training and support for the operator.
Their program also includes a minimum of three vending machines but YoNaturals will secure the locations as well as deliver and install them. The technical training needed to run the machines will be taught to the operator in advance. It is up the operator to service the machines and refill them as needed.

I’m not sure I want healthy food from a vending machine. I’m usually looking for something to satisfy a craving…but hey….I’m sure there are some health nuts out there that are different. Also, the credit card idea is a must for vending machines these days. You’ll cut your sales at least in half if you don’t have them.

I think the YoNaturals business is a great idea. An oxymoron thats for sure but very clever. Are there any machines in New York? I would like to visit one and see how its doing…?

Great idea this yo vending is something that should be nationwide. Everytime I see a coke machine it upsets me as usually next to the machine is an obese american.
