Role of a franchisee
Our franchise partners cover their own local territory of business clients, such as offices, showrooms, factories, warehouses, retail outlets etc, providing them with vending machines or snack boxes with chocolate, crisps, snacks and cold drinks.
Snack in the Box has a wide variety of vending franchise solutions available. This ensures that customers on your territory find the most ideal solution to fit their needs. This will depend on a few factors such as volume of staff and type of workplace.
Each customer has a vending or snack box on their site which you refill, ensure is presentable and working properly, and then remove the cash takings.
There is no charge for businesses to have snack boxes or a slimline or combo vending machine, they just pay for what they eat.
