A salad ATM

A salad ATM is the most important equipment that you will invest in. It is what you need to be able to sell cooking oil at different amounts regardless of what amount of money the customer has.

• The cost- ATM cost consideration is one of the most important decisions that you have to make when investing in this business.

• Warranty period- the other important consideration to make is if the salad oil ATM comes with a warranty cover. We give a one year warranty on all cooking oil ATMs that you buy from us.
• After-sale services- when buying a cooking oil ATM inquire from your seller if they offer after-sale services in case you need some repair and maintenance. Sometimes even with good care the machine might need to be repaired or a component to be replaced. If your seller cannot guarantee you that they offer after sales services please avoid buying from them.
• If the manufacturer can deliver to your address- you should also know from your seller if they are able to deliver it to your location or it’s you to take care of that. Sometimes it can save you a lot of hassle if the supplier is able to deliver it to your address.
• If it has a food grade pump- this is another very important consideration to make. It is recommended that machines that handle food items should have a food grade pump. Though not necessary for a cooking oil ATM, you never know if the government authorities might start requiring all cooking oil ATMs to have one like they did with milk ATMs. Sometimes the difference between a food grade pump and a non-food grade pump is not that much. You can request your manufacturer to use a food grade pump instead of the other regular pumps.

• Available public amenities- it’s also important to consider the public amenities like roads, electricity, water, drainage etc.
• Rental cost- since this is not a very high income generating investment that makes huge profits per day you should not go for a business premises that has high rental costs. Ensure that the cost is manageable and at the end of the month you are not left counting losses because you have used a lot of money on rent.
• Size of the premises- the size of the business premises should be determined by what you intend to sell. If you’re just intending to sell cooking oil only then you don’t need a big space. However, if you are intending to incorporate other products in your shop then you should go for a premises that can accommodate all that you plan to sell. Otherwise you will have the problem of needing to shift when you want to expand your business. You might not get another convenient and favorable business premises when shifting. And since you had already established regular customers who know where your shop is, they might not find it convenient for them to come follow you to your new business location.
