Yes. The $49/month covers real-time sales tracking, temperature monitoring, menu management, and technical support. No per-transaction fees, no royalties, no revenue share. Third-party costs (consumables, insurance, Nayax fee) are paid directly to those vendors — we don't mark them up or take a cut.
All machines include a standard warranty and ship with a spare parts kit. The cloud dashboard alerts you (and us) before most problems affect service. Most issues are resolved remotely. A national network of technicians is available for on-site labor warranty claims. The same team that trains you supports you — no third-party call centers.
Yes. You own the machine outright. Sell it to anyone, anytime, without 99 Spoons' approval or involvement. This is categorically different from a franchise.
This is the most important variable in the business. 99 Spoons provides a full location procurement guide, third-party placement specialist referrals ($1,500–$2,000, paid directly to the specialist), and a direct pre-purchase consultation where we'll give you honest feedback on your location idea. We would rather you put one machine in a great location than two in mediocre ones.
Book a no-pressure call. Bring your doubts, your location ideas, your worst-case scenarios. We'll give you straight answers.
