Sometimes entrepreneurship can be built on things that simply for some reason do not come to mind from the very beginning. For example, a coffee machine business: how long does it take to pay off, feedback from other entrepreneurs in this business, what are the risks and disadvantages of the business, as well as other aspects of such a project, you are probably interested.

Coffee is a popular drink that is on a par with tea and hot chocolate, because its sale is one of the most profitable. Well, the coffee machine allows you to do it without the participation of a person directly. Let's take a closer look at the coffee project.

Advantages

The undoubted advantages of this project are:

1. Relatively small capital investment for starting from scratch.
2. Possibility of opening in a small trading area.
3. The absence of working personnel as such, the business can be managed independently.
4. No expenses for marketing campaign, the coffee machine will become popular almost anywhere.
5. The ability to move the machine to another location.
6. Extremely high profitability of the project.

Coffee machines as the main income have some disadvantages. The most obvious of these is strong competition. There are machines of this type almost everywhere, so it is difficult to find a room where you should put your own. The specific problem is that the most commercially advantageous places are occupied, and in order for the project to pay off, it is important to look for suitable premises for a long time.

The second extremely unpleasant minus is the activity of vandals. Of course, recently such people are already extremely rare, although in the regions there are still a sufficient number of them able to open the device without a key. Therefore, it is important that the installation is located in a protected area or in the field of view of surveillance cameras.

Registering a business

To legitimize, it is enough to register you as individual entrepreneur. This is done with the help of the tax office, where it is also necessary to choose a tax system: UTII or USN.

Personally, you, as a novice entrepreneur, should turn to the first system. You don't have to license anything, you just need a quality guarantee for fillers received from suppliers.

The following documentation is required:

• An agreement with local governments, received by any vending machines.
• SES permission.
• Fire service permit.
• Contract for the lease of space.

We select a suitable place

As mentioned above, before opening, it is important to find a place that is suitable by commercial standards. by the most suitable premises The following traditional places can be named with certainty for such trade:

1. Stations, bus stations and other stations along the routes.
2. Airports.
3. Hospitals and clinics.
4. Other government agencies, for example, centers social services, tax inspections, departments of the state road inspection etc.
5. Banks.
6. Educational institutions – schools, universities, colleges, etc.
7. Cinemas, theaters and similar recreation centers.
8. Trade and fair centers, markets, large supermarkets and more.
9. Business business centers.

Unfortunately, each of these places already probably has its own vending coffee for sale, so the search will be quite difficult. Of course, some of the entrepreneurs decide to compete with the already existing machine, and this is also the right approach with proper strategy planning.

Try to experiment: if the machine in this place is inferior in profit to a similar competitor, try to change the supply of the product or move the coffee machine to another place.

Most low prices will almost always be educational institutions and shops. You can also agree to pay the landlord not a fixed rent, but a percentage of sales, which is extremely beneficial for a novice coffee machine owner.

Choosing a machine model

It is important to find a device that does its job well, but not too expensive. It will turn out to buy both a domestic version and a foreign brand, it is always difficult to understand which model will end up doing better.

It may be worth investing in a more expensive model that has a good reputation and performs more functions, such as green tea or mulled wine, in order to quickly recoup the business and make more profits in the future.

Try to track the quality of the models located in different places in your city. Some work more efficiently, offer more services. Be sure to read reviews on online forums about the model you want to purchase. Don't get hung up on the expensive options and pay attention to the following signs:

• Are there service centres this company in your city.
• Is it important for you to overpay for anti-vandal protection of the device.
• How long is the warranty.
• How much will the device and its maintenance cost.
• Is the model you have chosen widespread on the market and how long has its specific production existed.
• Which varieties, ground or instant, coffee are used in the manufacture of beverages.
• How many servings of drink the coffee machine is ready to give out before the next refueling.
• How strong specifications has an automatic for its price.

Service

It is recommended to top up the machine once every three days. In the beginning, it is better to ensure its operation by frequent presence, because, unfortunately, one cannot predict how well the machine will work. Specifically, the first days affect the further reputation of the place.

Keep the machine clean, for sure there will be dirty coffee smudges or just unpleasant stains. Dirt may well scare away the client, so you need to wipe the device and clean up next to it. Periodically, you need to take the proceeds of the machine.

Also, sometimes you will have to fix various kinds of problems at the manufacturer's company, it is they who should be contacted to fix the breakdowns. It is for the availability of such services that it is important to buy a new, and not a used device.

Internal filling

It is important to find really tasty coffee that would be in demand among customers. Therefore, it is worth testing each option independently. Those working in the vending coffee market have long been well aware that varieties that are classic and have been on the market for quite a long time will pay off better. Remember that you need to purchase the following products:

1. Grain or ground coffee of a couple of varieties.
2. Black and green teas, as well as fruit flavored teas.
3. Hot chocolate.
4. Cocoa.
5. Filtered water.
6. Dry milk powder for supplements or hot milk.
7. Dry cream.

You will also need disposable cups and spoons for stirring. We also need our own fillers, which differ from the store options. Such ingredients are stored longer, have a non-sticky consistency, are able not to absorb foreign odors, do not absorb moisture, and dissolve much faster than standard ones.

We select staff

On the ready business you will only need two workers, and it makes sense to do the work of both yourself at first. The first vacancy is a manager responsible for the purchase of fillers and other goods, relations with suppliers and similar organizational issues. He must follow the business project, plan its work, identify what is the most cost-effective in this moment and keep track of paperwork and money.

You can stay in this position permanently. In addition, you need an employee who serves the coffee machine itself. He must have a driver's license, it is also important to have knowledge of the city in order to move to different machines.

Calculating expenses

Expense line		Amount of expenses, thousand rubles
1	Space rental	2
2	Advanced coffee machine	200 x 2
3	Delivery of the device to the site and its installation	2
4	Public utilities	1
5	Paperwork	3
6	Purchase of fillers for drinks, sugar and water	5
7	Purchase of cups and other equipment	2
8	Maintenance worker salary	10
9	taxes	3,5
10	Unexpected expenses	10
Total:		436,5

It is not necessary to buy two machines at once, and in this case the amount of expenses will be only 236 thousand, which is really small for a business project. Remember, apart from start-up capital will have to invest monthly, paying taxes, rent and public utilities, as well as purchasing some materials and paying wages.

What is the yield?

Calculations show that on average the cost of one portion of a coffee drink should be 35 rubles, tea - 25 rubles, and cocoa or hot chocolate about 30 rubles per cup.

It may seem that the prices are quite low, but the machine in a place with a large flow of people will sell 70-100 servings, making a monthly profit of 50-120 thousand rubles. The most minimal income after paying costs will bring about 30 thousand rubles of profit. An increase in the number of machines will bring greater profitability, but even one machine can pay off in 7-8 months.

Video: coffee machines as a business.

Dreaming to open own business, but at the same time do not feel the strength to regularly conduct complex economic calculations and bookkeeping? Today, this is no longer a problem. Coffee machines as a business are becoming more and more popular. At the same time, hot drinks are sold out very quickly.

But the financial investment in such a business is not so big. At the same time, the profit will not only quickly pay back all the money spent, but will soon become a real stable income.

Situation today

A coffee machine appeared in Russia relatively recently. In the 20th century, you could mostly find cars dispensing soda water with and without syrup on the streets. But today you won’t find them during the day with fire, but hot drinks vending machines are common.

Meanwhile, judging by the statistics, this segment of the market is not completely filled yet. Competition, of course, is present, but not as fierce as in other, more complex types of business. Therefore, each coffee vending machine pays for itself perfectly and brings a good income to its owner.

But before starting your own hot drinks business, there are a few things you need to consider. In addition to a detailed consideration of all financial investments in coffee machines, a business plan will help you think carefully about ways to reduce production costs.

Why drinks

In fact, there are quite a few such devices. But experts have recognized the most profitable are those that sell coffee. Why so? It's all about the product itself. People buy newspapers not so often, and they are used to buying them in ordinary kiosks.

And on devices that give out food or various snacks (chips, crackers, nuts), you cannot make a 100% markup on the goods. Coffee machines as a business are a very profitable business. After all, the preparation of one cup of hot invigorating drink is a maximum of half of the price of its sale to the buyer. And in some cases, cunning entrepreneurs manage to make much more money.

Where will we sell

The profitability of this business is influenced by several factors at once. But the most important thing is the location of the machine. It directly affects the volume of sales and the amount of profit in the end.

Where is the best place to place this equipment? Of course, where a lot of people pass regularly. The most profitable places are airport premises, railway stations, secondary and higher educational institutions, large shopping centers, as well as buildings with a large number of offices.

The first two objects are the most successful in terms of coffee sales, as there are always a lot of people who are forced to wait for their transport. Moreover, many of them need to warm up or somehow wait out half the night if the plane or train, say, is delayed. And coffee vending machines are a real lifesaver.

Such a drink is no less popular in higher educational institutions. After all, students have to come to class very early. At the same time, in most cases, couples end somewhere by 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, without a cup of hot coffee to sit out is almost impossible. This is where your equipment will be in great demand.

It is also very important to install coffee vending machines in the immediate vicinity of office buildings. Early arrival for work place, as well as intense mental activity, negatively affect the performance of employees. Come to your senses and cheer up minimal cost time and money your coffee will help them.

In no case should such equipment be installed somewhere under the stairs or in a nook. People simply will not notice your unit or will not want to approach it. The machine should stand in a conspicuous place and attract attention with its bright design.

How to take care of equipment

Don't forget to take care of your device. The profitability of a coffee machine depends very much on how attractive it looks and works smoothly.

If the equipment for preparing hot drinks is not washed from time to time (once every 3 days approximately), it will emit a rather unpleasant smell. He, of course, only repels buyers. In addition, you need to constantly ensure that the device does not run out of ingredients. Otherwise, it will cease to be in demand.

Be sure to check all systems for technical failures, errors and breakdowns. Ideally, you need to hang a sign next to the machine indicating the contact phone number for complaints and claims with a request to call for any questions that arise. This will help you maintain good control over your own business and resolve any issues in a timely manner.

What are coffee vending machines?

There are several varieties of this technique. And all of them are very relevant and profitable today. But at the same time, there are a lot of differences.

The first factor by which coffee machines are sorted is size. Some models occupy approximately 1 square meter of area, while others are 2-2.5 times larger. The former are more convenient to place when there is a shortage of free space. The latter are very relevant in the case of proximity to competitors. The more variety of drinks the machine can offer, the higher its attractiveness in the eyes of potential buyers.

The second factor can be safely called the country that is the manufacturer. The set of functions, cost, as well as the quality of equipment often depend on this. The devices from Italy, as well as other European countries, have the highest cost. At the same time, although domestic-made equipment is inferior to them in cost, but not by much. The average price of a coffee machine today varies between 100-300 thousand rubles.

With development technical progress modern novice businessmen have ample opportunities to start their own business with little capital investment. A good example of this is the installation of vending machines. Commercial equipment is very popular in the west. In our country this species business is just starting to take off. We will find out how much you can earn on snack machines and what you need for this.

What is a vending business?

Literally, the word "vending" means trade. In this case, the sale of goods at retail through special machines is implied. Seller like individual while it is absent.

The devices can be installed anywhere, with their help you can buy not only drinks, snacks and small-packed products, but almost everything you need: books, hygiene products, ready meals, ice cream, peeled drinking water and much more.

We have more demand for vending machines for food and drinks: snack and coffee machines.

The main advantage lies in the compactness of the devices. Due to their small size, they fit everywhere: in shops, shopping centers, underground passages, gas stations, offices, train stations, airports. Wherever there's a good flow potential clients and where the installation will be in full view.

Features of the vending business

Benefits of working with vending machines selling coffee and snacks in person:

• quick and easy start;
• small initial capital;
• a wide range of equipment;
• variety of ingredients;
• a large selection of installation sites with minimal competition;
• there is no need for hired personnel;
• low rent.

The machine combines a counter, a seller and cash register. He never gets tired, is able to work around the clock without breaks and days off and bring profit to the owner 365 days a year. At the same time, there is no risk of being deceived, both on the part of the client and the owner.

The largest selection of snack machines is presented

Speaking of benefits, one cannot fail to mention the shortcomings, or those points that may be in doubt.

For example, in this business success largely depends on a well-chosen location. This fact in high degree determines the profitability of each individual device. At the same time, a well-chosen place will bring a stable guaranteed income.

If the competition does not scare you, you should boldly get down to business. The main thing to remember is that the quality of products is important here. Even the most modern and functional device will not raise the business if the ingredients are of poor quality.

No one will buy tasteless coffee or stale snacks. Therefore, products should be purchased fresh, fragrant, high-quality.

Start-up capital

You can start a business with one or two coffee or snack vending machines. The cost of a vending machine varies between 50 thousand - 300 thousand rubles. depending on size and functionality.

If we consider a full-fledged business project, this will require 10 cars, which will cost about 2 million rubles. Add to this the rent for trading places in the amount of 80 thousand rubles, the cost of ingredients and expendable materials- 100 thousand rubles, as well as the cost of registering a business - 50 thousand. The result is an amount of 2,230 thousand rubles.

Average earnings

Preliminary calculations show that the average bill of a coffee machine is 30 rubles. One installation can sell about 80 cups per day. 10 such installations will sell 800 drinks per day on average. This amount will amount to 24 thousand drinks per month.

As a result, the average monthly revenue will be equal to 720 thousand rubles.

We consider payback

The figures are approximate, the final economy depends on many factors.

To calculate the payback of the project for the purchase of 10 vending machines, we calculate the fixed costs per month:

• rent of trading places - 80 thousand rubles;
• the salary of the operator who will service the machines is 15 thousand rubles. (at the initial stage, you can carry out this process yourself, this will reduce costs and allow you to get to know the process and the business as a whole more closely);
• repayment of the loan (taking into account the payment of 40% with own funds, and 60% - with borrowed funds for 5 years at 15% per annum) - 19.7 thousand rubles;
• car expenses - 20 thousand rubles;
• depreciation - 10 thousand rubles;
• other - 15 thousand rubles.

Result: 164.7 thousand rubles.

To this amount should be added the cost of purchasing ingredients and materials, which amount to approximately 25% of income - 150 thousand rubles.

The average monthly income was 600 thousand rubles.

600 thousand rubles - 164.7 thousand rubles. - 150 thousand rubles. = 285.3 thousand rubles.

We subtract taxes (USN and 15% on profit), we get 242 thousand per month.

The profitability is 77%.

With such calculations, you can return the investment after 10 months of active sales.

What to choose: snacks or coffee?

Many entrepreneurs face a difficult task when choosing a vending machine. What is more profitable - coffee or snack installation? Experts assure that with proper management and right choice points, both devices will bring high profits, and it will be the same.

But it is better to familiarize yourself with the nuances of the operation of each of the machines before purchasing.

Consider the main parameters of the operation of snack and coffee installations:

• Margin. For coffee, the margin ranges from 200% to 400% (the cost price is about 10 rubles, while the cost of the finished drink is 30-50 rubles). On snacks, the sale price can be two to three times higher than the purchase price (margin up to 200%).
• Seasonality. Coffee is actively sold from autumn to summer. From June to August there is a period of calm. Snack products "go" in any season: in summer - water, carbonated drinks, snacks, in autumn-winter-spring snacks are bought as an addition to hot drinks.
• Range. The coffee machine is set up exclusively to dispense coffee drinks. In snack machines, the range is limitless and you can sell anything you want.
• Packing. Coffee machines do not provide this function. For snack machines, you can make bulk purchases of goods, pack them in your own packaging and sell them at a higher margin.
• Cleaning. Coffee vending machines need weekly maintenance as they quickly get dirty with cake, water and instant ingredients. To wash cars, the owner must hire a person or do it himself. Snekovy machines do not require cleaning.

Before starting a vending business, an entrepreneur must decide on the direction of his activity. One will be interested in selling coffee in demand, while the other will like the sale of snacks.

23.12.2015

Every novice vendor - and this is not surprising - is interested in the profitability of coffee machines. And in order to raise interest in themselves, many companies are cunning, overestimating the numbers, and sometimes they simply frankly take them out of thin air.

We conducted a survey of SuperVending customers and partners and came up with real benchmarks to find out how much profit a coffee machine can bring.

The first factor is location.

First of all, the profit from the coffee machine depends on the chosen point. where you plan to put trade software, there must be a minimum of 50 full-time staff + waiting areas or gathering places.

If there is a choice between a large “fluid” traffic or a small one, but with a waiting area, you need to choose the second option.

For example, in mall the profit from the coffee machine will be higher in the technical area where employees communicate / smoke / drink coffee than at the exit. The chances that a store visitor will stop for coffee is always lower than the chance that a person working here will take at least a portion of the drink in a day.

If you find a point near the waiting area where more than 50 people work, in 80% of cases the place will be profitable. It needs to be tested!

Factor two - testing

No one can determine what profit from coffee machines will be at one point or another at a glance - even a seasoned pro. Testing is always needed. So your success, first of all, depends on your perseverance, and not on luck, as many people think.

How to test a place with minimum cost and maximum accuracy?

To determine the profit from a coffee machine, you should not take exactly the equipment that you, after all, plan to install. If the point turns out to be a "failure", you will only spend money. Take any small machine that breaks down into two parts and can be easily transported in a regular car.

Install the vending machine on the point and fix the counter of sales of drinks and revenue. This option is now available on any machine.

For example, you sell about 40 glasses per day. So, the profit will be 40/2 = 20 thousand rubles per month.

How to calculate the net profit in the vending business?

Average number of drinks sold * average price of a drink * number of days in a month = revenue

For example, if the building has only 1 day off per month (i.e., 26 days the vending machine is used), the average number of glasses per day is 40, and the average cost of a drink is 35, the equation would be:

40*35*26 = 36,400 rubles per month

Now we subtract the cost of coffee and powders from this amount (this is 25% of revenue), the cost of rent (usually 10% of revenue), 1000 r for gasoline and 500 r for other expenses

It will turn out about 22,000 rubles a month.

Naturally, it is impossible to predict the exact figure. Vending machines cannot generate the same profit every month. Sometimes there will be more, sometimes less. But for the average result, this formula is quite accurate.

What is important to pay attention to?

There are nuances that will help you develop your vending business faster and increase profits.

• seasonality

• Ingredient quality

• Appearance of the machine

If you have a dirty or badly scratched, crumpled coffee machine on good profit may not be counted. Such a "monster" will only scare away customers.

• Rent

The adequate cost of renting a point is 10 - 15% of the revenue. If they ask for more, then this is a robbery. If less, most likely something is wrong with the place. For example, there is a high risk of vandalism, which the owner of the premises is silent about, luring you with a favorable rental price.

A successful businessman does not hover in the clouds - he calculates both possible gains and possible losses. Yes, in vending the risk of losing is much less than in any other business area. Especially if you work on used equipment.

According to SuperVending client statistics, the maximum loss is 20-30% of the initial investment. And this amount can be in case successful development beat off in just a month. However, it is also important to think about the risks. If you get discouraged, you may miss something important.

Let's summarize

The calculation of the estimated monthly profit from a coffee machine requires a comprehensive assessment in all respects. We have listed only the basic factors. But there are a number of other secrets - for example, when beginners apply to SuperVending, we help to choose a specific model of the machine, depending on plans, opportunities, the chosen point, development plans and a bunch of other parameters.

Coffee is one of the most popular tonic drinks, the love for which unites many people around the world. Few of us can imagine our day without a cup of fragrant and invigorating Arabica. Coffee helps to wake up in the morning, cheer up during the lunch break, get away from the usual hustle and bustle and enjoy a rich and delicate taste.

Due to the fact that no other drink can repeat the taste of natural coffee, and therefore compete with it, its preparation and sale seems to be quite profitable activity. Coffee can be offered in cafes and bars, shops and pavilions, you can even organize a coffee house on wheels - all this requires considerable financial investments and labor costs. Business on coffee machines is the easiest, and at the same time, a very profitable option for making money on such a popular drink. However, even such a seemingly simple business requires some preparation and planning.

Advantages of vending - selling goods with the help of special automated systems- before traditional trade are obvious, which is why it has become so widespread throughout the world. In our country, this direction is still poorly developed, especially in small towns. Therefore, for those who are planning to open their own business, coffee machines, as one of the vending options in conditions of moderate (and in some regions, low or no) competition, can serve as an excellent start to an entrepreneurial career.

Advantages of such a business:

• relatively small investment at the start;
• no need for large retail space (for 1 vending machine, a space of 1 sq. m is enough), therefore, the ability to save on rent;
• no working staff is needed - the entrepreneur can perform administrative functions independently;
• advertising is not needed, it is enough just to choose the right place to place the device;
• mobility - the machine can be moved if necessary;
• high profitability of the coffee machine and quick payback investments.

Among the disadvantages of coffee vending, one can single out only the risk of incurring losses due to a hacking attempt, since street vending machines often attract the attention of intruders. If the coffee machine is located on the territory of a guarded store or office, then this risk is absent.

Having noted the main features of a business idea, let's talk about how to implement it with maximum benefit.

How to start a coffee vending business

Coffee machines as a business will bring good revenue only if you choose a suitable place to install them. Therefore, it is advisable to start the implementation of this commercial idea with the search for a site. At the same time, you should rely on your own observations, data from population surveys, as well as on the reviews of entrepreneurs who are already engaged in coffee machines as a business.

As practice shows, the following placements are the most effective:

• airports and railway stations, waiting rooms;
• clinics and hospitals;
• youth gathering places - colleges, technical schools, universities, cinemas, etc.;
• trade, business and entertainment establishments;
• parking lots and car parks;
• markets;
• recreation areas for motorists, the so-called truckers.

Simultaneously with the solution of the issue of location, you should take up the choice of the coffee machine itself.

Important! While looking for a device, read the reviews on the network, find out if there are service centers of the manufacturers in question in your city. Pay attention to the price, functionality, download options and warranty period of the coffee machine.

You can start a business with one vending machine, then as you develop and reach self-sufficiency, you can expand your activities by installing several machines at once in the busiest places. If financial possibilities do not allow you to buy the device, consider renting it.

Documents for business

Considering coffee machines as a business, it is important to understand that any entrepreneurial activity subject to mandatory state registration. To trade on official grounds, you should collect a package of documents and contact the tax service.

Coffee vending can be implemented using any organizational and legal form of activity. In other words, you have the right to decide for yourself. If you act independently and plan to start a business with the installation of one or two machines, then the best choice would be which is on our website. With its help, you can quickly and easily go through all the necessary procedures.

Important! include an application of the established form Р21001, in which it is necessary to indicate the type code of the planned economic activity. For a vending machine business, 47.99.2 - "Vending activities through vending machines" should be reported.

In addition to the Certificate of State registration as an individual entrepreneur, you will also need a lease agreement for a place to place the machine.

Important! Some budding entrepreneurs set up vending machines based on verbal agreements with the owner. However, this option is highly undesirable, since in this case the landlord can at any time, without any agreement, increase the fee or even stop cooperation and demand that your equipment be removed from the leased area. To avoid trouble, enter into a written contract, which will spell out the obligations of the parties, the procedure for payment and responsibility.

Additionally, you will need the following papers:

• certificates for the device itself, as well as for all products that will be sold with it, and for accessories (cups);
• product information (place on the machine itself);
• information about what actions the buyer must take in order to purchase the desired product, as well as what needs to be done if the device does not dispense the product (place it on the machine itself);
• information about the seller - name, location, mode of operation (place on the machine);
• a contract for the removal of waste (if this obligation is not assigned to the lessor under the contract);
• honey. book of an employee serving a coffee machine (if you plan to carry out activities on your own, then your personal medical book).

The preparation of all necessary documents in total can take from 1 to 2 weeks. Next, consider a brief business plan for a coffee machine.

How much profit can you get from a coffee machine - calculations for a business plan

To find out how much profit a coffee machine brings, you need to draw up a business plan in which you indicate the amount of necessary start-up and running costs, as well as the amount of potential income. When planning your own coffee vending, you can use the following sample data.

Composition of expenses

Startup costs:

• execution of documents and conclusion of necessary contracts - 3,000 rubles;
• purchase of one coffee machine - 200,000 rubles. – the average price of a vending machine with cooking modes for 16 types of hot drinks, including coffee, tea, chocolate, as well as the ability to sell snacks, built-in bill and coin acceptors and a terminal for paying with bank cards;
• delivery and installation of the device - 2,000 rubles;
• formation inventory(5 kg coffee different varieties, 2 kg of cream, 3 kg of tea and 2 kg of chocolate) - 2,400 rubles. – the average price of professional ingredients for coffee vending is 200 rubles. for 1 kg;
• purchase related products(600 cups and 600 stirrers) - 1140 rubles. at a price of 1.4 rubles. for 1 cup and 0.5 rub. for 1 stirrer;
• purchase of sugar, water and snacks - 3,000 rubles.

If you sum up all these items of expenditure, you get about 212,000 rubles.

Current costs include:

Article	Amount, rub./month
replenishment of stock and consumables
payment for electricity
machine maintenance costs
taxes and fees *
rent

* - For the attention of businessmen, for retail through vending machines, you can choose one of the special tax regimes, which will greatly simplify the interaction with the Federal Tax Service and save on payments.

One of the preferred options is to use . In this case, the tax will be 15% of imputed income. The latter can be calculated using the following formula:

basic yield (4,500 rubles) * number of slot machines (in our case, 1) * deflator coefficient (1.798) * adjustment coefficient (average for the country - 1) = 8,091 rubles.

Having calculated 15% of this amount, we get about 1,214 rubles. This will be the amount of tax per month. In addition, the individual entrepreneur is obliged to make contributions for himself to extra-budgetary funds in the total amount of 23,153.33 rubles. per year (almost 1,930 rubles / month comes out).

Income planning

How much does a coffee machine bring in a month? Let's make an approximate calculation.

The average selling price of one serving of coffee is 35-40 rubles, tea - 25 rubles, chocolate - 30 rubles. In the event that an entrepreneur manages to find a good place to place a vending machine with high traffic, then from 50 to 100 portions of hot drinks can be sold per day.

Thus, the monthly income can vary from 35,000 to 120,000 rubles. depending on workload and demand for specific drinks. Let's add to this about 5,000 rubles. for the sale of snacks.

To determine the profit from the coffee machine, you should subtract the amount of expenses from the amount of income. It turns out that even with the minimum income from our example - 40,000 rubles, the entrepreneur's profit will be more than 27,000 rubles. Consequently, it will be possible to fully recoup investments in the installation of one machine in 7-8 months of work.
