Robo Delights started as an owner operator, that owns and manages Cotton Candy machines. In our own research to purchase our machines we found a market that was not pleasant towards the needs of the American consumer. Chinese factory sellers found on social media purporting to be American companies when in reality mostly they are 100% Chinese companies with just an office in the USA or a WhatsApp number. Although they are cheap in price, in reality they are very expensive. As they either don’t provide customer support or they have Chinese based support. In addition social media has many forums for those who bought Chinese machines “cheaply” which came damaged and had no recourse, or no ability to find replacement parts. Owners are then stuck with non-income producing machines.
The second category were companies here in the USA that (re)sold or franchise machines. The machines are more expensive than the advertised price once you include the hidden fees, which can be upward of $15,000 a year. More than one company told us late in negotiations that “they” would place the machines in where they saw fit. Basically, you paid them to buy the machine, and you’d get paid a small portion of the profits.
