Vending machine

The vending machines is necessary also for in the hall and in the public space. 
It does not look good-looking. that the vending machines are not installed on the wall. At the design stage, you should consider the space for the vending machine. It is not possible to design if there is no actual sales estimate. The number and the host site of the vending machine are fixed at an initial stage. You will have to think about the balance with the restaurant again. 

The signature “Vending machine is here”  must be posted .Give the guide sign to understand where the vending machine is because it is necessary to be used efficiently clearly. The customer clearly understands where the vending machine is by it.

By the way, the method of managing the commodity of the vending machine. We usually consigns them to a special vender enterprise .You should make the consignee more than two companies. 
Of course, when the consignee is selected, Impartiality is the most important. That is also very difficult. 

If we could previously decide the vender enterprise,  we can consult about details with the company. But when you must select the enterprise by presentation, You who does not know the vending machine so much should considerably decide even the detail beforehand. 

First of all, it is necessary to consider the method of abandoning garbage. Does the center abandon garbage or does the vender company abandon that ? The content of the contract changes depending on the cost. 

The kind of the commodity put in the vending machine is naturally decided when thinking about the recycling of garbage. 
The kind of container about the beverage are the pot, the can, and the paper packing. I recommend you that it should be better to limit them  only in  the can thinking  about the recycling process. Moreover, you must not sell liquors by the vending machine. 

The form of the garbage box is decided if it is decided that commodities are the can juices or so. Well, who prepares it?
It is necessary to decide whether the vender enterprise prepares the garbage boxes or the center side prepares them. 

Next, who collects the garbage?
Three kinds are thought as choices. (i) The vending machine proprietary company does. (ii) The center side does. (iii) The center side does, and the vender company bears the expenditure. 

There are a merit and a weak point respectively. I recommend you that the center side does the installation and the management of the garbage box., the vender company bears the abandonment cost of garbage by the contract. Cost will be decided as this,  " ☆☆ yen according to One can sales ". 

And, the number and the place of the vending machine are decided based on the blueprint. 

At last, we can begin the solicitation of the vender enterprise even here. It was a long way. 

The enterprise does presentation. We decide the data which should be submitted in the presentation. 

Data is the following as this. 
(i) How many percent of sales do you offer to the hall side as a margin? (ii) Which commodity is stocked in the vending machine? (iii) How much is the price of the commodity? (And what procedure is stepped when the price is changed?)  (iv) What measures do you consider to commodity shortage at the summer time? (v) How is the garbage abandonment done? (When you have the vender enterprise do that, it is necessary to find out the situation of the recycling actually done by questioning.)

Even the installation of the vending machine is serious like this. 

By the way, if you set up the vending machine of food the backyard besides the beverage, it would be pleased. 
When carrying in and out, the truckers will use it. 

locker room

The customer is embarrassed if there is no locker at al
The selection of the handling enterprise is necessary to set them up. 

What should be decided beforehand is whether used hours of the locker are limited or not? 
It is easy to manage unrestricted. But there is a possibility that the exhibition company which occupies the locker comes out ahead considerably if used hours are not limited. 

Therefore, the restriction is decided as this. “The use time from 7 a.m. to 11p.m..When 11p.m. is passed, I get the excess charge. ”

When the person of a high position comes to the exhibition center, the police demand to make the coin-operated locker disabling for several days. 
The purpose is to prevent of terrorism with explosives. 

We cannot refuse it. Safety is top priority.
