The Problem

Stop guessing with your capital

Most operators commit thousands of dollars based on gut instinct, seller projections, and YouTube advice. By the time the numbers don't add up, the capital is already deployed.

  • Seller numbers don't match reality
  • Busy location ≠ profitable location
  • You don't know payback until it's too late

The Solution

One app. A clear verdict.

VendROI models your investment before you make it. Enter your numbers and get a verdict — ROI, payback date, and a clear risk rating — so every decision is grounded in data.

Get an instant verdict — STRONG, SOLID, CAUTION, or HIGH RISK — based on ROI, payback timeline, and margin. No ambiguity.

Which location makes money faster?

Score and compare locations side by side. See estimated daily sales, monthly profit, and a 0–100 location score before you commit.

What should I stock to maximize return?

Track margin per product, see what's dragging profitability, and optimize your inventory mix for maximum capital efficiency.

If I add 1 machine per quarter, what happens?

Project total revenue, profit, and ROI across 6, 12, and 24 months. See how each new machine changes your portfolio's return.
