Efficient Running of Planet Antares Vending Business

The introduction of dedicated beverage routes has greatly benefited Planet Antares vending operators. They just need to do enough business to keep at least one full time route person busy. There are several benefits that come with this.

The pallet of a forklift truck can be used to fill a well designed beverage truck, with outside, roll up doors on the sides. As compared to loading a mixed-product route vehicle, this will take much lesser time. In such circumstances, you will have to load one case at a time.

Planet Antares vending operators may face limitations in the variety of product brands that they want to sell. This is due to space limitations on a mixed product truck. Even though many customers will opt for an alternate brand or flavor if their first choice is not available. In contrast, a well designed truck allows you to stock all the items that are demanded by customers of your business.

New beverage route people should be trained for filling specific machines and thus, have one less type of machine to learn. This will lessen the amount of time taken for training a new route personnel and bringing him closer to the point where he is capable of running a Planet Antares vending route on his own.

Business efficiency can also be enhanced through specialization. When an employee only handles one product, he will learn how to handle the product with very few wasted motions. As a result, Planet Antares route drivers can fill machines at a faster pace and with greater efficient. Mixed product route will also benefit. They would have one less product to worry about, and no longer have any chances of tripping over beverage cases in the vehicle.

After removing the beverage trucks from the vehicle and removing the beverage services from the route, the driver will be able to reach more locations to service perishable product machines.

I would suggest you to avoid the typical step or cube van while running a dedicated beverage route for your Planet Antares vending business, as it will probably be too much work. It’s best to go for a truck that can be loaded with a forklift.
