Incredible, Unbelievable, Fantastic….
T hese are just some of the descriptions from customers and operators using the HD1400 Hot Dog Vendor for the first time. From New Jersey to California customers are lining up for their favorite and this means happy customers and happy operators.
LHD Vending Systems proved the concept internally over the past several years but now it was time to prove it to the vending industry and their customers. Pilot programs began in the Fall of 2004 and have had great results. Sample data demonstrates locations with the HD1400 sales that often exceed $400/week and weekly per capita spending of over $1.00 on it’s own. Operators, to say the least, are pleased.
The HD 1400 Hot Dog Vendor has been installed across the United States, in demographically diverse locations and success rates have been extremely encouraging.
From New Jersey to Wisconsin to New Orleans to San Diego customers are letting the operators know their preferred products. In Milwaukee the operator has had great success with Johnsonville Brats, while in New Jersey, the Ball Park All Beef Hot Dog seems to be the favorite. Wherever the machine is placed, the one thing that’s for sure, is the customer keeps coming back .
Added benefits indicate higher drink sales as well as next to NO SPOILAGE!
Imagine that…. a food machine with next to no waste, no microwave to deal with fresh product, sizzling hot with terrific margins!!!
