The Vending Business Starter Kit
$27 one-time
You have decided to do this, and you do not know what to file, in what order, or where the machine actually comes from.
- Getting-Started Checklist — 10 pages. LLC, EIN, permits, sales tax, insurance and record-keeping in the order that makes each step unblock the next, with cost bands and a week-by-week timeline.
- Vending Machine Distributor List (all 50 states) — 8 pages. The three buying lanes with named sellers, the 15-point used-machine inspection, and the freight and delivery-receipt trap.
- Vending Terms Glossary — 8 pages. 96 terms, each with what it does to your money rather than just a definition.
VendBuddy
AI Pitch Pack
Five prompts that write the pitch
12 pages
12 pages, plus a plain-text prompt file
The AI Location Pitch Pack
$27 one-time
The list is built and you still have not contacted anyone, because writing twelve first emails is twelve small unpleasant tasks.
- Five copy-paste prompts — venue research, the 45-second and 15-second walk-in pitch, the cold email, the 4/10/21-day follow-up, and an objection rehearsal that role-plays the venue back at you.
- For every prompt: what to put in each bracketed slot, what a good output looks like, the seven or eight ways the model gets it wrong, and the exact sentence that corrects each one.
- A guardrail on all five that stops the model writing an income claim into your pitch. Runs on the free tier of ChatGPT or Claude.

The Vending Location Playbook
$47 one-time
You already know which building. You do not know what to say when the door opens.
- Cold Walk-In Pitch Script, word for word and then annotated line by line, with variants for offices, gyms, apartments, warehouses and salons, plus phone, voicemail and 15-second versions.
- Twelve objections answered, each with what the objection actually means underneath it, plus the seven-item carry list and a post-pitch log.
- A plain-English Placement Agreement in seven annotated sections, with a commission ladder and a filled-in worked example.
Ships with the three Starter Kit documents inside it, so ticking this adds the Starter Kit to your cart for $0.
Two kits: 10% off, rounded in your favour. All three: $69 instead of $101 — the Get Started Bundle price, and the only combination that carries the two bonus documents. And because the Playbook physically contains the Starter Kit documents, ticking it adds the Starter Kit for $0 rather than charging you twice.
Questions people actually ask before buying
What is in a vending machine starter kit?Three documents, 26 pages. A getting-started checklist that sequences the LLC, EIN, permits, sales tax and insurance so each step unblocks the next. A vending machine distributor list covering all 50 states, with named sellers and a 15-point used-machine inspection. And a 96-term glossary written in terms of what each one does to your money. Adding the Location Playbook adds the walk-in pitch script, twelve answered objections and a placement agreement on top.
What format are these, and how do I get them?PDFs, delivered instantly. You pay by card on this page, land on a download page straight away, and the same links arrive by email. Nothing to install, no account to make, no software to log into.
Is this the subscription, or does it turn into one?Neither. These are one-time purchases and nothing here renews. The VendBuddy app is a separate product with its own free tier, and you do not need it to use any of these documents.
Do I need the VendBuddy app for any of this?No. Every kit on this page is a document you read and use on your own. The app builds location lists continuously, which is a different job, and none of these guides assume you have it.
Is a vending machine starter kit worth it, or should I just figure it out myself?You can absolutely figure it out yourself. Every fact in these documents exists somewhere online, and a large part of it is free on this site already. What $27 buys is the ordering and the templates: not re-deriving which permit blocks which, not writing a placement agreement from a blank page, and not learning the used-machine inspection list by buying a bad machine first. If that trade is not worth it to you right now, read the free guides instead — we would rather say so than sell you something you do not need.
What if I already have machines?Then skip the Starter Kit and look at the Location Playbook. The Starter Kit is setup paperwork you have already done. The Playbook is the walk-in script, the twelve objections and the placement agreement — the part that gets a machine you already own into a building that actually earns.
What if it is not what I expected?Email [email protected] within 30 days and we refund it. No questions, no proof, and that applies to a $27 document the same as to anything else we sell. Why does ticking the Playbook add the Starter Kit for free?Because the Playbook physically contains the three Starter Kit documents. Charging you $27 for files that are already inside something else in your cart would be taking money for nothing, so we do not.
Why are all three kits already ticked?Because it is what most people buy, and at $69 for all three against $101 separately it is the only combination where the price actually improves. Nothing is locked: untick any kit and the total updates immediately, or use the clear link in the bar at the bottom to start from an empty cart. We would rather show you the option most buyers pick than make you assemble it.
What are the two free bonuses, and why only with all three kits?They are the First 30 Days Operator Calendar and the Restock and Route Log Pack — 16 pages between them, added to your download page automatically the moment you buy all three together. They are bundle-only for a real reason rather than a marketing one: the calendar is a day-by-day sequence that keeps pointing at documents from all three kits, and the log pack covers what happens after a machine is placed, which none of the three kits covers. Neither is sold separately at any price, and neither comes with a single kit or a two-kit cart.
