Run the business, not a menu maze.

Find locations, buy machines, stock what people actually buy, keep machines working, service your route efficiently, and protect cash.

This is a model-based business simulator. It is designed to reward realistic decisions, but real-world results still depend on local conditions, contracts, taxes, laws, execution, and chance.

Time moves automatically. There is no skip-to-tomorrow button. Customers, employees, settlements, and operating events continue as the simulated day runs.

What needs attention

Recent activity

Find Locations

Prospect, call, visit, schedule follow-ups, keep notes, and work each account like a real sales pipeline.

Location hunting usually takes the longest

Do not get discouraged if businesses do not say yes right away. Finding good vending locations is often the most repetitive and time-consuming part of the business. Most calls will not become placements. Keep making calls, follow up when promised, and work the interested accounts. Consistent prospecting is what eventually creates locations.

Latest Contact Result

Prospecting Stats

See exactly how much location-finding work you and each employee are doing and what it is producing.

Buy & Place Machines

Buy a machine, then physically move and install it at a location you have won.

Buy Inventory

Choose the number of cases. See exactly what one case costs, how many individual items you get, and what you charge customers for one item.

Very simple: 1. Buy cases → they go into storage. 2. Open Load Machines. 3. Choose the machine and drive there. 4. Load products into the slots.

Current Inventory

See exactly what you own right now: what is sitting in storage and what is physically inside vending machines.

Storage = not in a machine yet. Products only leave storage when you drive to a machine and load them.

Machine Upgrades

Improve payment access, security, and route visibility. Upgrade costs are based on the assumptions you enter in Settings.

Load Machines

This page does one job: choose a machine, drive there, and put products into its slots.

Two things matter: First, drive to the machine. Second, once you arrive, choose the product and press Load. The loading controls stay hidden until you arrive so there is nothing confusing to click early.

Employees

Hire people and give them a clear daily checklist. Employees can find locations, make follow-up calls, load the vehicle, run routes, stock and clean machines, collect cash, perform basic checks, and handle simple customer problems.

How employees work

Each employee has an 8-hour workday. They cannot cold call, drive a route, shop for inventory, and study at the same time. Training uses work time. Route work uses company fuel. You decide who does what so you and your employees do not duplicate the same job.

Office Morale & Benefits

Pay matters, but it is not the only thing people care about. Small perks, recognition, reasonable workloads, and time off can improve morale. They cost the business real money.

Finance

Revenue is not profit. Cash is not the same thing as earnings.
