Vending Machine Sales by Location.xlsx

This is a vending machine sales data file from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) that tracks revenue generated across multiple campus locations. The spreadsheet documents sales performance by semester from January 2016 through August 2017, covering 32 vending machine locations throughout the UWM campus. The data is organized chronologically across five reporting periods: January-May 2016, June 2016, August-December 2016, January-May 2017, and June-August 2017. The cumulative grand total of all vending machine sales across all locations and time periods is $156,361.93. Top-performing locations include the Library ($4,930.00 in the initial period), Union 1st Floor ($3,254.29), and Curtin Hall ($2,848.10), while lower-performing locations such as KIRC and Kenilworth Square generated substantially less revenue during comparable periods.

The sales data indicates significant variation in vending machine performance across campus locations and time periods, with some machines generating over $4,900 in a single semester while others produced under $300. This revenue information is directly relevant to UWM's current solicitation for a fresh salad and healthy snacks vending service, as it provides baseline data on vending machine demand and sales patterns at specific campus locations. The historical performance data suggests optimal placement opportunities and revenue-sharing potential for prospective vendors responding to the contract opportunity, which seeks to supply up to five new vending machines on a revenue-sharing basis with no upfront costs to the university.
