Hot food vending machines

Hello I am from the Dominican republic and I want to bring hot food vending machines here. I have been having a hard time finding a used Japanese market for machines. I was hoping someone would be able to point me in the right direction.. thank you

There are a few listings of vending machines on Rakuten. Hot food vending machines are pretty rare though so they may be even harder to find.

Only Japanese Yen is usable even if I buy a Japanese used vending machine.
Are you all right?

We have a workshop here where we make casino machines, so we would be able to convert over the bill and coin accepters, not an issue for us. We are very interested in buying in bulk to put in our multiple locations.

I would think shipping costs would be very very expensive! You would have to convert the money system to your currency. There may also be an issue with the electrical hookup for correct heating temperature. The labeling inside and outside would probably be in Japanese so it would all need to be changed. If you are looking for machines in good working order , that price could be high. A lot of things to consider. In the long run , it might be cheaper to buy machines direct from a dealer that makes and sells such machines.

Hmm interesting we should be able to convert things over since we have an inhouse shop to do any conversions and tests that would be necessary. But do you recommend any direct distributors. Thank you

I just used Google and typed in "hot food vending machines" and several companies popped up. Contacting one of them might give you ideas to compare prices and find out if they can and will ship to you. It just might turn out dealing with them will save you time and money and time intensive labor. I don't mean to say your plan won't work , just that you might be able to find a cheaper and faster solution to your idea. We don't want to shoot your idea down , just want to help you find the best solution. It might even be possible to find an importing company in your own country that can work with you to find machines for you.
