How to venture into cooking oil vending business

A cooking oil vending business is a simple and low-cost way for anyone looking to start a side hustle or increase revenue from their current business to get started. In this post we will look at how to venture into cooking oil vending business. It’s the type of business you start in any urban center with residents in the middle and lower income brackets, and you can count on repeat customers.

This is due to the fact that cooking oil is a product that is used daily in any household or restaurant. Cooking oil purchased from an ATM is appealing because it is inexpensive and can be purchased for as little as ksh10. As a result, clients who do not have a lot of money to spend on all the products they require can allocate their budget to all the essential items by purchasing in smaller quantities.

With this in mind, you as an entrepreneur, can decide to handle this category and sell to them what they require in the quantities they can afford. Aside from selling cooking oil, an ATM can also sell milk but you need a separate ATM for this.

Find a suitable business premises at a convenient location

If you don’t already have a business premises, especially if you’re just starting out and running this as a side hustle, you should look for one that is easily accessible and conveniently located in an area with a large population. The best premises for this business are those on the first row, facing a street/road where people pass by on their way to and from work or shopping for groceries and other household goods.

Check that the premises has electricity so that you can operate the salad ATM, which requires electricity to function. In terms of space, a salad ATM doesn’t require much, but if you plan on selling other items, make sure you have enough. Position the cooking oil ATM so that customers can see what you’ve entered on the digital display screen, lest they suspect you’re defrauding them.

Identify your cooking oil supplier(s)

Suppliers are among the most important stakeholders in a business and can make or break it. That is why you require a truly trustworthy supplier/source for your cooking oil. If possible, get several. When deciding which supplier is best for you, consider their price, location, and ease of getting stock from them whenever you need to replenish your stock. They should be easy to contact and supply you with on short notice. However, it is always a good idea to keep enough stock on hand and to set a minimum replenishment threshold. Avoid completely depleting your supplies before restocking.
