What To Do if Your School has Snack and Beverage Restrictions
Are you looking to take over vending in your school or start selling snacks and beverages?
Every school is different on what they are allowed to sell but many schools have restrictions on what food they can and can’t sell. Be mindful of these restrictions and get creative on how you sell your products. Not sure what is considered a “healthy approved snack?” Visit this link to review the guidelines.
You don’t have to let restrictions hold you back! Get creative while following your school’s rules.
What to Sell and When to Sell It
Many groups have asked us what other schools are selling through their snack and beverage boxes if they have health restrictions. Don’t stress, you have options!
The Spirit Box machines have Timed Events functionality that will allow to disable certain selections during certain times/days. This will allow you to sell those sweat sugary treats within the allows windows of time.
There are also many healthy approved snack options that you can sell all day everyday. Check out some of those options here, and don't hesitate to reach out to discuss further!

Vending Takeover
Many high school business teams are investigating what it takes to become the primary vendor in their school.
There are many benefits to doing this, such as potentially substantial profits that stay in the school, real business experience gained by the students managing the business, and showcasing your business program to the entire school community. Vending takeover allows you the opportunity to sell a larger variety of products.
