Ms. Liang is a native of Guangzhou. She saw this ice cream machine with a small robot while visiting an exhibition in Guangzhou. Her husband works in a scenic spot, so she could cooperate with the scenic spot to share profits. She put the first ice cream machine in a place with a lot of people. The first week of the machine was Labor Day, and she sold more than 300 ice creams in one day. In addition, a cup of ice cream in the scenic spot can be sold for 25 yuan (cost 1.5 yuan/cup), and the monthly turnover was as high as 33,850 yuan. 

With a good start, she later placed a cotton candy machine next to the ice cream machine, and a cotton candy also sold for 25 yuan (cost 1 yuan/piece). Now the income from the two machines can support a family, and the living standard has really improved a lot!

A young Malaysian couple saw this ice cream machine with a small robot on Xiaohongshu. After adding the robot on WeChat, they learned that the ice cream machine can be sold 24 hours a day and does not require human supervision.

I immediately negotiated with IOI City Mall (name of the mall) for an entrance (venue) with heavy traffic at the entrance and the rent was only RM350/month.

In the first week after the machine arrived, there were long queues every day, and the cash box was often full. In Malaysia, one ice cream sells for RM5 (cost RM1.2 per piece), and they can sell more than 200 pieces a day on weekends; 70 to 100 on weekdays. The first thing the young couple did after get off work every day was to add milk to the ice cream machine and do a simple cleaning.

An ice cream machine can bring the young couple 10,000 Malaysian ringgits every month. Now they have found a second location and are preparing to open a "branch".

The Japanese boss placed a mini desktop cotton candy machine at the entrance of the sushi restaurant in Kyushu Shopping Mall. At first, it was just to attract customers to the store, but later he found that he made a lot of money. One cotton candy sells for 500 yen (cost 50 yen), and he can make 450 yen from selling one cotton candy.

The cotton candy machine starts with one button. Just plug in the paper stick and it will make a cotton candy in 60 seconds. The transparent window is very attractive for children and adults to stand and watch the cotton candy making process. After eating the cotton candy, they will come to the store to eat sushi. The store is very popular. The highest monthly sales of this desktop cotton candy machine is 900,000 yen; the average monthly sales are 500,000 yen.

This mini desktop cotton candy machine is very suitable for children;playgrounds,children parks, parent-child restaurants, school surroundings, food courts, commercial streets, night markets and other scenes. It is a good choice for attracting traffic, sideline business/entrepreneurship. Because the gross profit of cotton candy can really be as high as 90%.

Kai used to sell candies at the Salamanca Market in Hobart, Australia. In order to add more products to his stall, he spent 2,700 Australian dollars to buy a semi-automatic mini cotton candy machine in China. In order to match the style of the stall, he also specially designed candy-style stickers. The small cotton candy machine has now become a profitable tool for the stall. Cotton candy is rarely seen in Australia, so one cotton candy can be sold for 6 Australian dollars (the cost is 0.2 Australian dollars). Yesterday, he sold 185 cotton candies, and the income from selling cotton candy in one day was 1,100 Australian dollars. The machine paid back in one month.

Mr. Zhang, a Chinese, started his first business after living in the United States for 10 years. He rented a store in California and set up a children playground. The playground is filled with self-service vending machines, including fully automatic cotton candy machines, ice cream machines, blind box machines, and capsule toy machines... Eating, drinking, and having fun can all be achieved in this playground. Many mothers bring their children to this playground on weekends, and the children stay there to play by themselves for most of the day.

The cotton candy machine has the lowest cost and the highest gross profit of all the machines. One cotton candy sells for 5-6 US dollars (cost is 20 cents), and there are 68 kinds of patterns to choose from. It is very attractive to children and has the highest purchase rate. The next is the ice cream machine. Americans all like to eat sweet things.

The average daily turnover of the entire children park is US$1,000. All machines are self-service, so you don’t need to spend too much time and energy. You only need to restock every two or three days.

Mia is in her third year of studying in Germany. In order to reduce the burden of life, she put a self-service cotton candy machine in a shopping mall near the school. In the first month, she earned 27,000 euros. Before that, she tried many side jobs, but they were all a waste of energy and affected her academic progress. Until she found the cotton candy vending machine, she invested 4,000 euros. Now she adds materials once every 7 days, cleans the machine, and sells it 24 hours a day. She can check the order information on her mobile phone, without labor costs, and her studies are not affected at all. The cost of a cotton candy is 0.25 euros and the price is 3 euros. The fancy cotton candy products are novel, fresh and interesting. In addition, it is a children’s playground full of children, so there is no worry about the source of customers. Fortunately, the stability of the machine is good. The problem that I was most worried about at the beginning was actually found to be okay. It is very important to clean the machine and take precautions. If there are small problems, the manufacturer’s 24-hour after-sales service will handle the problems in a timely manner.
