The Real Numbers

One Machine. One Location. Up to $3,000/mo.

Modeled on real operator data — not dealer brochures. Your Playbook comes with the editable spreadsheet so you can run these numbers on your machine and your location.

Ice vending ROI snapshot: revenue, margin, payback, cash-on-cash

Results vary by location, operator, and market. Individual outcomes are not guaranteed. The Playbook gives you the data to evaluate your specific situation before committing.

Built For

First-time operators who want cash flow without a second job.

You have $20K–$50K sitting in savings. You want it earning more than 4% in a CD. You don't want to answer emails at 10pm or manage employees. Ice vending is one of the cleanest small-cap cash-flow plays left — if you pick the right site and the right machine.

W-2 earners diversifying into hard assets
Something you own, that pays weekly, that isn't the stock market.
Existing operators scaling to unit #2, #3, #4
Same underwriting model, applied ruthlessly to every new site.
Real-estate owners with parking-lot corners
You already own the land. Turn a dead 8'×8' into a $2K/mo asset.

What Operators Are Saying

★★★★★
"First machine hit $2,800/month by month four. The location scorecard is the whole reason I picked the corner I did — the one two miles away I almost signed for would've done half."
Marcus T.
First machine, TX
★★★★★
"Rolled out three units in 14 months. The ROI spreadsheet is how I underwrite every new site now — I won't put a machine anywhere it doesn't clear the model."
Priya R.
3-machine operator, GA
★★★★★
"I'd read every forum and watched every YouTube video. This is the first thing I've seen with real P&Ls and honest math. Wish it existed two years ago."
