For beginners with no entrepreneurial experience, vending machines are a great option with low barriers to entry and ease of operation. But to get started smoothly, there are some key points to understand. This guide will detail the basic knowledge of starting a business with Zhigou vending machines, helping you take the first step in your entrepreneurial journey quickly.
I. For Vending Machine Entrepreneurship, Beginners Should First Understand These 3 Basic Questions
1. Do vending machines actually make money?
The profit model of vending machines is simple: earn the difference through selling goods. As long as you choose the right location and products, it's not difficult to make money. For example, in a busy office building, a Zhigou vending machine can achieve a monthly net profit of 5,000-10,000 yuan; in a community, it can also bring in 3,000-6,000 yuan per month. Of course, the specific profit depends on various factors such as location and operation, but overall, the risk is relatively low, making it suitable for beginners to try.
2. How much start-up capital is needed for a vending machine business?
The entry cost of Zhigou vending machines is not high. The investment for a single machine is about 30,000-80,000 yuan, depending on the model and functions of the machine. In addition, you need to prepare some initial funds for purchasing goods (about 5,000-10,000 yuan) and a small amount of location fees (some locations may be free). Compared with opening a physical store, it saves a lot of rent and decoration costs, which is very friendly to beginners with limited funds. Moreover, Zhigou supports installment payment, further reducing the start-up threshold.
3. Can I do well without experience?
Absolutely. Zhigou will provide comprehensive support for beginners, with professional teams guiding from location selection, machine operation to operation management. Many entrepreneurs who joined Zhigou had zero foundation, and through systematic training and support, they could quickly get started with operations. Just like Mr. Li, an office worker, who knew nothing about vending machines before. After joining Zhigou, he followed the guidance step by step and made a profit in the first month.

2. Guidance on location selection, no need to figure it out by yourself
Location is the key to the profitability of vending machines, and beginners are prone to going astray in this step. Zhigou has a professional location evaluation team, which will help you analyze factors such as foot traffic and consumer demand according to your budget and target area, and recommend suitable locations. For example, it will tell you which positions such as community entrances, office building lobbies, and school surroundings have more potential, and will also assist you in communicating with the property, reducing the difficulty of location negotiation.

Not sure what products to sell? Zhigou will give product selection suggestions based on the characteristics of the crowd at the location.

During the operation process, you can get continuous support from Zhigou for any problems.
IV. Answers to Common Questions for Beginners, Eliminating Your Worries
Q: Do I need to restock the machine myself? Will it be troublesome?
A: It is recommended to restock by yourself in the early stage, so that you can better understand the sales situation. Zhigou's intelligent system will remind you which products are out of stock and can also plan the optimal restocking route to save time. If you have more machines later, you can consider finding a part-time job or cooperating with a local distribution team, and Zhigou will also provide relevant resources.
Q: If the business is not good, can I quit?
A: Zhigou has a sound exit mechanism. If you really can't continue to operate due to special circumstances, you can negotiate with the company to deal with it and try to reduce your losses. But as long as you operate in accordance with Zhigou's guidance and choose the right location and products, the probability of poor business is very low.
Q: What certificates do I need to apply for? Is the process complicated?
A: Generally, you need to apply for a business license and a food business license (if selling food). Zhigou will provide guidance on applying for certificates and a list of required materials to assist you in completing the application. The process is not complicated and can be easily handled by beginners.
