Straight answers
What Michigan owners ask before saying yes.
No franchise script. Just the details you need to decide whether a machine makes sense.
What does it cost me?+
Nothing. Side Bar Vending owns the machine, installs it, stocks it, services it, and insures it. You provide the space and one standard outlet.
How much space does it need?+
Plan on about 10 square feet for a free-standing machine and one standard outlet.
How do I get paid, and when?+
You receive 10% of gross machine sales each month. Payment method and the exact monthly payment date are confirmed in your placement paperwork.
Who restocks it?+
We do. Side Bar Vending monitors, stocks, cleans, and services the machine on our schedule at no cost to you.
What if it breaks or gets damaged?+
Email us and we handle service. Normal repairs and machine maintenance are our responsibility; the damage policy is reviewed in writing before placement.
How do you stop minors from buying nicotine?+
A valid ID scan is required on every transaction. The machine will not vend without successful age verification.
Do I need a tobacco license?+
We provide the current written Michigan licensing requirements before installation so you can review them for your business. This page does not provide legal advice.
Am I locked into a contract?+
No long-term lock-in. If the placement is not working, we arrange removal. Final placement and removal terms are reviewed before installation.
How long until it is installed?+
We start with a short email exchange and site visit. Installation timing depends on fit and machine availability, and we give you a clear date before you commit.
