The 'Juice Box' freshly squeezed Orange Juice vending machine is
without a doubt the most unique and innovative vending machine to be
developed anywhere around the world in the last two decades.
This European made self serve kiosk is effectively an attractive, highly
engineered vending machine that chills, cuts and squeezes fresh oranges into
a cup for immediate consumption.
The whole process is completely autonomous from the moment that money is
inserted to the moment that a cup of chilled freshly squeezed orange juice
appears in the dispensing window.
Consumers everywhere are becoming increasingly health conscious which makes
the Juice Box orange juice vending machine one of the most sought after
vending machines on the market today.
Three oranges a day will definitely keep the Doctor away !
THE LICENSE
The Juice Box is sold under License to approved Licensee's.
This License gives you the right to operate the machines and also confers
certain obligations upon Vendwest (www.vendwest.com.au) as your Licensor.
To obtain a Juice Box License you must first purchase a minimum of three
machines at a cost of $13980 plus gst each.
Three machines is the bare minimum required to achieve the economies of
scale required to successfully operate a freshly squeezed orange juice
business.
A small License fee based on a percentage of monthly turnover is payable to
Vendwest as the Master Licensor for Australia.
As your Licensor we remain actively involved in your business by doing the
following:
1. Assist you to find sites for your machines and to re-site them when
necessary
2. Provide the remote monitoring services and pay all telco
communication charges associated with the remote monitoring services.
3. Negotiate with orange wholesalers to secure good prices for oranges
on behalf of Licensees.
4. Ensure that other Licensee\\\'s do not solicit a site from an
existing Licensee
5. Invest money in spare parts to ensure minimum downtime.
6. Provide a warranty on the machines and provide ongoing technical
support for them.
7. Provide unlimited free telephone support for Licensees.
8. Provide marketing and advertising templates for the use of Licensees
9. Provide a free site selection service to Licensees to assist them to
identify sites that are generally good or generally bad based on other
figures being achieved by other Licensee's on similar sites.
10. Provide and update site agreements to be used with site owners.
THE MACHINE
The Juice Box contains an internationally patented squeezing unit that is
specifically designed to separate the bitter peel oil from the juice itself
ensuring an unusually sweet tasting juice every time.
The Juice box will hold around 240 oranges and as soon as a customer has
inserted their money it will automatically drop 3 oranges onto a blade for
cutting. It will then feed each half into the squeezing unit.
The waste peels are repelled to a waste bin and the chilled juice flows
through to a cup that is also automatically produced by the machine.
The Juice Box contains a large perspex viewing window that allows customers
to watch the whole squeezing process in action which dramatically increases
the level of interest in the machine.
REMOTE MONITORING
Even though there are a small number of companies in Australia that are
attempting to create a remote monitoring system, for their vending machines,
very few of them have perfected it.
The Juice Box has an operating Remote Monitoring System that is
revolutionary in the vending industry.
The machine will send the operator a text message when any of the following
things occur:
1. The top shelf runs out of oranges
2. The lower shelf runs out of oranges
3. Less than 3 oranges are counted into a cup
4. A machine malfunction of any description occurs
The Remote Monitoring system allows for "just in time" refills which has the
effect of maximizing profits and reducing expenses.
The Remote Monitoring System allows an operator to log onto a website with a
secure password to view all of his or her machines in the field which makes
the Juice Box one of the most sophisticated vending machines on the market
today.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The Juice Box is equipped with a state of the art inbuilt cleaning system.
In fact it has a two stage cleaning system.
The squeezing unit has a number of inbuilt high pressure water jets that are
linked to a 15L water tank stored in the machine.
There is also a secondary stronger cleaning system that operates for 15
minutes at a time at pre-determined times, usually once in the morning and
once at night.
This cleaning routine can also involve a sanitizer that is stored in a 5 L
tank in the machine.
Even though the inbuilt cleaning system is particularly effective, it is
recommended that a manual clean of the machine take place at least twice a
week.
During a regular service, an operator will be required to do the following:
1. Empty the waste water tank (the water from the routine cleaning is
pumped into a 15L tank)
2. Refill the 15 L clean water tank
3. Refill the 5 L sanitizer/water tank
4. Restock the machine with oranges
5. Either manually clean the squeezing unit or simply swap it out for a
clean one (requires the purchase of an extra squeezing unit)
6. Empty the waste peel bag
7. Clean the dispensing faucet
8. Collect the money
The regular (twice weekly) service should take around half an hour and
possibly a little longer depending on the usage of the machine.
THE BUSINESS OPERATION
Vending is one of the simplest and most lucrative business opportunities
available. It can provide a very significant income whilst at the same time
allowing for a totally flexible working week.
As a Juice Box Licensee you will be required to find businesses and public
places who are prepared to host a Juice Box. You will also receive
assistance from us as your Licensor to find sites.
Given that the Juice Box is a particularly unique vending machine that
provides a healthy product, most site owners are happy to have a machine in
their workplace. Others may want a small commission from the sales through
the machine.
You will be required to attend each of your machines twice per week for
approximately half an hour at a time for restocking and cleaning.
Our recommendation is that you sell each cup of freshly squeezed orange
juice for $3.5. Your average cost for the 3 oranges and the cup will be
around 50c.
That gives you a profit of $3 per cup.
If you can sell just 20 cups per day on a 6 day a week worksite, that is an
annual gross profit of nearly $19 000 per year per machine.
