Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

Based on typical university vending contracts for three campuses, the annual revenue share or service fee is likely in the low‑to‑mid six‑figure range. Assuming a modest number of machines (≈30) with average monthly sales of $1,500 per machine, gross sales could be ~$540,000 annually. Vendors usually retain 20‑30% after the university’s share, yielding $108,000‑$162,000 in annual earnings. Therefore a reasonable estimate is $50,000 – $150,000 for the first contract year, depending on machine count, product mix, and service fees.
