Build Repeatable Vending Routes That Save Time and Keep Machines Serviced

Route Optimization Planner is an official companion resource created to support, extend, and enhance the implementation of The Vending Machine Success System. This Excel workbook helps vending machine operators organize service locations, build repeatable route runs, estimate drive and service time, schedule repeating service cycles, prepare restock supplies, log completed visits, and review route efficiency from one structured system.

This planner is designed for vending operators who want to stop managing routes from memory and start using a more organized workflow. Instead of randomly visiting machines, users can list their locations, group stops by zone, plan route order, estimate travel time between stops, assign runs to repeat cycles, and use the dashboard to spot slow or overloaded routes.

Includes quick setup inputs for max route time per run, runs per cycle, target stops per run, default drive time between stops, and buffer time per run.
Provides a location list for tracking each serviced location, address, zone or area, machine count, estimated service time, restock frequency, sales velocity, priority, and notes.
Includes a route builder where users can create named route runs, list ordered stops, enter drive minutes between stops, and calculate route totals.
Uses formulas to pull location details from the location list, including location name, zone, priority, machine count, and estimated service time.
Calculates run drive total, service total, total route time, machines serviced, route efficiency, and time cap status.
Includes a repeating route schedule where users can assign runs to Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, and review capacity status or suggested actions.
Provides a restock and supply checklist covering common products, cash handling items, cleaning supplies, tools, spare parts, and special location notes.
Includes a service log for recording completed visits, restocking status, cash collected, issues found, maintenance needs, next visit recommendations, and notes.
Includes a dashboard to review route summaries, machines serviced, drive time, service time, total time, efficiency, time cap status, and the most time-consuming stops.

Use this planner to create cleaner vending service routes, prepare for restock visits faster, and manage multi-location operations with more structure and consistency.
