Feel Good Snacks main website

When it comes to running a successful vending machine business in Canada, the machine is just the beginning. What truly drives profitability is what’s inside it: your product selection. From healthy snacks to beverages that meet local preferences, every item you stock can impact your machine’s performance.

At Feel Good Snacks, we help vending operators and passive investors select the perfect mix of products to match customer demand, location type, and season. Here’s how you can use product selection to boost profits—and how our team ensures you never have to guess.

Why Product Selection Matters More Than Ever

Consumer preferences have changed dramatically over the past few years. Canadians today want:

Healthier, lower-sugar options
Gluten-free, nut-free, or vegan choices
Functional snacks (protein, hydration, immunity boosters)
Cashless and tap-to-pay convenience

If your vending machine doesn’t reflect this, you’re leaving money on the table. With the right mix, your machine doesn’t just serve—it sells.

The Feel Good Snacks Approach to Menu Planning

Our one-stop shop model includes detailed menu planning based on:

Building demographics
Foot traffic levels
Time of day usage (e.g. morning vs. late-night)
Seasonal preferences
Past product performance from our database of machines

We’ve collected data from vending machines across Canada and use it to recommend high-performing snack and beverage mixes for your unique site.

Using Data to Rotate and Optimize

Feel Good Snacks provides monthly performance reporting (optional) for active operators. This means:

See what’s selling and what’s not
Identify slow-moving items to rotate out
Track best sellers to increase stock
Compare seasonal shifts in demand

We use this data to refresh your menu every 90 days or as needed.

How to Avoid the Top 3 Product Mistakes

Overloading with Sugary Treats While popular, candy-only machines turn off health-conscious customers. Balance is key.
Ignoring Local Preferences What sells in downtown Toronto may flop in rural Alberta. We tailor your menu by province and building type.
Underpricing or Overpricing Items Our retail pricing model ensures you set competitive prices based on your region. You don’t guess—we guide.

Menu Planning as a Passive Investor

Even if you’re not managing machines daily, your menu matters. Our passive vending clients benefit from:

Automated reordering and stock rotation
Pre-approved menu plans for each machine
Transparent reporting and ROI visibility

We treat your machine like a micro-business—because it is.

Product Sourcing and Stocking All products we recommend are sourced from reliable, large-scale suppliers. That means:

Fresh inventory
Canadian labeling standards
Competitive cost per unit
Safe and transportable packaging

We load your machine before delivery and send top-ups as part of our optional replenishment program.

Case Study: Maximizing Sales with a Menu Revamp

“The snack updates made the machine feel brand new,” Kevin says. “People noticed, and sales picked up fast.”
