You are lucky if you break even, if you had a huge route with experienced technicians you can make money but just owning a few you may pay more for repairs and transporting the machines than you make.
I did the accounting for a vending company once that made a nice profit but they paid the workers about 3 times minimum wage. The workers knew how to repair and take scrap machines apart for parts.
Where I work now we get vending machine owners in, the frozen food don’t work long then sit empty and moldy until they haul them away. They have to stock the candy and chip machine about daily so assuming you sold 100 items a day at 75 cent and paid 45 cents for the product you would make a gross profit of $30. Some days nobody is working like weekends and holidays or when we lay a lot of people off so you would be lucky to gross $150 a week. After paying payments on your machine and the price of fuel to get to the supplier and then fill the machine you wouldn’t get much for your time. Broken machines would cost you to repair. If you have a truck to take the broken ones back to the shop you won’t need to rent one.

I don’t really have much experience in this field, but just based on common sense it’s going to depend on the amount of traffic you get around it. I wouldn’t be able to give you an estimate though, sorry.

But it in a Uni, Hospital or Airport, you’ll make a crap load of sales
