Find The Location. Close The Deal. Run The Route. Repeat

One playbook. One process. Every step you need to place your first profitable machine… and then your next.

  • Find it. Decide on a location in minutes with the same parking/availability/visibility checks Mike runs on every spot, before you spend a dollar on a machine.

  • Close it. Walk in with Mike’s own scripts, so the conversation with a property manager feels like offering an amenity, not begging for space.

  • Run it. Stock, price, and restock using the exact margin rules that separate a 30% route from a 50% one.

  • Repeat it. Turn one happy location into your next one, using the same “land and expand” approach Mike uses to grow his own route.

Same Playbook. Different Success Stories.

What Happens When You Follow Mike’s Process, Step-By-Step?

A food truck owner, a stay-at-home mom, a former real estate agent, and a first-time micro market operator — four different starting points, the same process, all profitable routes.

Jesse

Jesse had three locations signed within his first 30 days. He credits the speed to having ready-made scripts and a process to follow instead of guessing alone.

Shannon

Using the same location-scoring process taught in Mike’s Playbook, Shannon picked one Seattle micro market that became her 22,000 - 25,000/mo unicorn location on her first try.

Anthony

Former real estate entrepreneur, Anthony, followed this same process to scale to 45 locations and 79 machines, generating over 100k in revenue in one month.

Madison

Madison, a stay-at-home mom with no business background, used the Playbook process to build a 10,000+/mo route with just six locations in 10 months.

Why This Beats Figuring it Out Alone

Keep grinding for a 3% raise, gamble $50K on rentals, or bet on a startup with a 90% failure rate — or place one machine that pays you whether you show up or not.

Meet Mike Hoffmann: From 60-Hour Work Weeks Making 1,200/Month to 150+ Machines Generating 200k/Month In Just a Few Years

Mike Hoffman Photo

I grew up on a family farm in rural Iowa. I put myself through the University of Kansas, and for years I worked as a college strength and conditioning coach. My life consisted of long hours, a paycheck that never seemed to move, and a schedule that wasn’t mine. The moment vending stopped being a curiosity and started being the plan is when I really started to see a change. My first machine brought in 600 a month. It wasn’t life-changing, but it was proof.

Today, my best location alone brings in over 22k in a single month, and I still run this business myself. Not because I have to, but because I built it to work, and I want to know it still works. Every script, template, and framework in this Playbook is what I’m using on my own route right now, not what I used to do five years ago.

The part I care about most isn’t my own numbers. It’s watching regular people — people with a job, a family, a schedule already full — use this exact process to place their first machine and realize this is actually real. That’s who this Playbook is for. Not someone looking for a get-rich-quick story. Someone who wants a real, proven way to build something that’s theirs.

QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any experience to use this?

No. The Playbook assumes zero background in vending and walks you through the process in the order Mike actually uses it: location, machine, foundation, inventory, scale.

How much money do I need to get started?

Less than you’d think. Financing options mean many operators place their first machine with a fraction of its cost down. Chapter 4 walks through exactly what to expect from different suppliers.

Is this going to take over my life?

No. This is built to run around a job you already have. Most of the work is front-loaded — finding and closing your first location — after which routine tasks run in short, scheduled visits, not all-day commitments.

Is vending saturated?

It’s saturated with old technology and operators who never update their approach. Smart machines and micro markets are still new to most locations, which is exactly why early, well-equipped operators are winning the best spots right now.

What happens after I finish the Playbook?

You’ll have a clear next location to pursue and the scripts, scorecard, and templates to close it. Some members choose to keep building on their own from there. Others want more hands-on guidance, direct feedback on their locations, and a faster path to scale. For those members, there’s a next step available once you’re inside.
