The juice doesn't seem worth the squeeze. 40% margin, maybe less and you need a shit ton of machines to make decent money.

You also have to restock all the machines, so it seems like a difficult business to scale that actually gets harder the larger scale you are.

250 machines with 500k in revenue for 2 people doesn't seem like that much. With 40% margins, that's 200k and assumes you have no employees which seems unlikely given the number of machines.

Perhaps I'm way off though, since my perception is probably skewed by tech companies.
