Hey, has your brother looked further into food and drinks at his LAN place than vending machines? should be a lot more profitable to have a few fridges in there either stocked by reps or by himself with supermarket beverages.
Companies will provide him with a fridge and also pay for electricity and stock.
For instance I will probably be looking at a coke fridge (coke products - coke own juice and water etc) a milk fridge (flavoured milk and juices) an icecream freezer (stocked with all of that particular brands products) a chocolate stand a foot and a half by two feet of Cadbury's products and a candy stand/fridge.
Most companies will also guarantee a minimum sales $.

I was looking into providing chips and burgers but the costs involved are prohibitive, tens of thousands of food safety compliance things like grease traps and ventilators.

might look into 7/11 type microwavable food to be bought from supermarkets.. pre-packaged stuff.

hey.. you might not be willing to divulge this information to either me or the board - but perhaps you could ICQ me on 281373324 with a little info on the town his set up is in? even just the name so I could do some research on the size of his target market vs where I am looking at... age distribution, mean income that sort of thing?
