How it works
There are two options:
1) FRANCHISE (EXTERNAL): Run your own health snack franchise vending business. We are often approached by companies/hospitals/gyms asking us for a machine so check with us, we may have a suitable site in your area. Alternatively you may know of businesses/schools/facilities with great potential in your area or maybe even your place of work where you can run one or several franchise machines, retaining all profits for yourself. No shop rentals, no salaries. All you have to do is replenish stock once a week. Sites with good potential would have one or a combination of: over 250 people passing by daily or who have access, operate 24/7 (think hospital), mid to large gyms and schools, places where there is no similar food available 24/7 etc. FIND OUT MORE: Ask for a Franchise Application Form and Franchise Disclosure Document.
2) FRANCHISE (COMPANY-OWNED) : Your company / environment may not be large enough to justify a business for an external franchisee due to (smaller) size, location, staff characteristics, but you might still really want your staff to have access to healthier snack food, and they might really want it too. Their health is in your interest. Your company could invest in a Franchise, own the vending machine, and nominate a staff member to manage the machine for you - about 1 or 2 hours work a week. In this way you are subsidising healthy, nutritional snacks for your staff. And it shows you care. Health Island will supply the vending machine (with training and a 1 year guarantee) and your nominated staff member would keep it stocked with our nutritious, delicious, energy-giving snacks. We also provide an invaluable introductory nutritional presentation for your staff with product samples and a tasting session.
As an alternative you could assist a staff member in investing in the franchise themselves and running their own small business providing the rest of the staff with our snacks via one of our vending machines.
Health snacking = healthy mind = healthy living = quality of life & productivity!
