Budget estimate

$250,000 – $800,000

Based on typical school‑district vending contracts, a multi‑site vending‑machine operation can range from a few hundred thousand to well over a million dollars annually, depending on the number of machines, product mix, and service level. Assuming 30‑50 schools with 2‑3 machines each, annual revenue could be roughly $250 K–$800 K, with profit margins of 10‑20 %. This estimate accounts for equipment, product costs, labor, and compliance requirements.
