Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1 - Passive Income. The machine creates an additional passive revenue stream without requiring any work from staff. We handle inventory, maintenance, and payment processing. The venue simply provides the space and benefits from a share of the sales revenue. 

    2 - Increased foot traffic. Pokémon cards are frequently sold out in stores everywhere. Making them available in your location will bring customers back more often.

  • Trading cards, a majority of which are Pokémon cards. Other trading cards, such as One Piece or Topps Baseball cards, may be added if demand is high.
