What We'll Cover on the Call
3 hours of breakdowns. Nothing but specifics: formats, locations, numbers, and live Q&A.
01
Three machine formats: coffee, food, protein We'll break it down with real numbers: each format has its own location, its own customer, its own margin.
02
Where machines get placed, and how to negotiate with owners Hospitals, hotels, arenas, car washes, gyms. How to pick a spot and get in on good terms.
03
The economics of a single machine: cost, margin, payback We'll do the math live: 25 sales a day, what that means in dollars, and how fast the machine pays for itself.
04
Leasing and financing: how to start with no big capital In the US, vending is almost never launched with your own cash upfront. We'll break down how that works.
05
Live Q&A Ask about your specific situation, and I'll answer live on the call.
Frequently Asked
Do I have to pay rent for the spot where the machine sits?
In most cases, no. You're offering the property owner a service for their visitors. In hospitals, hotels, and offices, it's seen as an added perk for guests, not a rental. Or you pay a small percentage of revenue: 10–15%.
Can I get started without $10,000 in cash?
Yes. Most participants get the machine through a lease or financing plan with US finance companies. Down payment ranges from $0 to $1,500, with monthly payments of $500–1,000. The machine earns more than the payment, and the difference is yours.
Why Vending
Not the old snack-and-soda machines. This is a different business.
Smart vending: next-generation machines with real coffee, food, and protein shakes. They run 24/7, take card and phone payments, and need no staff.
120 million cups of coffee are sold every day in the US. We just need 25.
America has high wages, expensive rent, and a "grab it on the go" culture. Vending fills the need for coffee or a snack in places where a café can't open or wouldn't be profitable: hospitals, factories, office towers, airports.
Each cup nets about $3 in profit. Rent for the spot: $0 in most locations, you're providing a service, not renting space.

NDA 😄 Frequently Asked
How much time does one machine take?
After launch: 2–4 hours a week, to restock, wipe down, and check the telemetry. The rest of the time the machine runs itself. With multiple locations, this is easy to delegate.
What if the machine breaks down?
Most machines carry a 1–2 year manufacturer warranty. In practice, serious breakdowns are rare, the tech is simple. Minor issues are usually resolved with a 20-minute video call to tech support.
The Economics
Finance the machine, and it pays for itself
Let's break it down with a real example: a coffee location, a bare-minimum-viable spot: 300 people of foot traffic a day, 10% buy coffee.
Revenue
| Sales per day | 25 cups |
| Sales per month | 750 |
| Average ticket | $4.20 |
| Monthly revenue | ~$3,150 |
Expenses
| Ingredients (wholesale, ~$1/cup) | ~$750 |
| Rent for the spot | $0 – free in most locations |
| Maintenance and minor repairs | ~$50 |
| Machine financing / lease payment | $500–700 |
| Insurance, misc | ~$50 |
| Total expenses | ~$1,350–1,550 |
Bottom Line
| Revenue | ~$3,150 |
| Expenses (including machine payment) | ~$1,350–1,550 |
| Take-home | $1,500–1,800/mo |
The machine is financed, its payment is already baked into expenses. You never put in your own money, you just collect $1,500+ every month.
This is a bare-minimum-viable location. At a top-tier spot (hospital, arena), it's 50–90 sales a day, and the picture looks completely different. On the call, we'll run the numbers on a few scenarios live.
Your Host 
Nikita Cherkasskii
Three years ago I launched my first self-serve coffee kiosk. No money, no connections, no experience in US business. I got locations wrong and overpaid for equipment.
Today: 21 active machines across several states. The average location does 27 cups a day. Record: 96 cups in a single day. On the call, I only share what I've tested myself.

Questions
Frequently Asked
How much does it cost to get in? Do I need a big lump sum upfront?
No. The machine is financed: coffee from ~$600/mo, food from ~$500/mo, protein from ~$500/mo. Down payment ranges from $0 to $1,500. The machine earns more than the payment from month one, and the difference is yours.
Do I have to place the machine in my own city?
No. The machine can go anywhere in the US. Telemetry shows real-time sales right on your phone. For servicing and restocking, you hire a local person for $200/mo, and everything runs without you being there.
How does delivery work? Do I need to transport the machine myself?
The manufacturer delivers the machine straight to the installation site. You don't need to handle logistics, rent a truck, or find movers. It's all included in the price.
Do I need internet or special equipment to connect it?
The machine runs on a built-in SIM chip, no internet from the location is needed. Sales data, status, and stock levels all show up on your phone in real time.
Do I need special paperwork or a license?
In most states, no special license is required. You register an LLC and open a business bank account, all done remotely in 1–2 days. No food-service permits, certifications, or inspections like in the restaurant business.
I have no business experience. Is this for me?
Our oldest participant launched 3 locations at age 68. The model is simple: place the machine, restock it every few days, watch the numbers.
