Look at this freaking thing right here. You know, I love a good vending machine concept. This metal and glass box right here can't cost more than ten grand. And they charge you 50 cents a minute just to go in there and have some quiet time. Now as a dad of four kids, I would pay 50 cents a minute for this. $30 for an hour's worth of time. Let's crunch the numbers on that real quick. This is day 10 of showing you my favorite business ideas of 2025. So follow for more. So let's say this thing costs $10,000. That means to break even on this thing, you've got to rent it out for 20,000 minutes, which is 333 hours. Let's say conservatively that this thing is booked for three hours a day. That means it'll take 100 days to break even on this thing. And after that it's pure profit. Now sure, they're probably doing a rev share with the Seattle airport here. That's not bad. Three month payoff period for something like this when it's only booked for three hours a day. I don't hate it. Get all my vending ideas right here.
