Your share, your inputs
Run your own numbers.
I have no sales history at your venue yet, so I'm not going to invent one. Set the inputs and the math runs in front of you.
Show the math
Sales = packs per day × price × 30 days. Net profit = sales × margin. Your share = net profit × 10%. Sales tax is passed through to the state, so it never counts as sales.
The inputs are yours to change. The 10% doesn't move.
The sequence
How a placement goes.
- Site visit
I come by, look at the spot you have in mind, and check the outlet and Wi-Fi signal. The machine needs 33.5 by 23.2 inches of floor near power.
- Install
The machine is delivered, leveled, and stocked by me. It plugs into one standard 110V outlet and joins your Wi-Fi. No cost to you.
- Restock and support
I restock weekly and handle every issue with the machine. Payment is card and tap only, so there is no cash inside.
- Monthly payout
You receive 10% of net profit, paid by ACH each month. You can end the placement with 30 days' notice.
Who you're dealing with
One person, and I answer the phone.
Erik Mortimer. I run Sindri Trading Post LLC on my own: I wrote the software it runs on, I stock the machines, and I pack every order myself. Seven years as a professional software engineer before that. The name is the Norse smith who forged Thor's hammer. I identify with the maker, not the myth.

Questions I get.
Is this a claw machine dressed up?
No. The price is posted on the screen, and what you pay for is what drops. Every pack is factory sealed from authorized U.S. distribution.
Is there cash in it?
No. Tap, chip, Apple Pay or Google Pay only. Nothing to count, nothing to steal.
Who handles refunds and complaints?
I do. My number is on the machine, and because payment is cashless a refund goes straight back to the card. Your staff never touch the machine, the product, or the money.
What does it need from us?
One standard 110V outlet, your Wi-Fi, and 33.5 by 23.2 inches of floor. It draws about 0.6 amps, about the same as a 60-watt bulb.
What if it breaks, or I want it gone?
I fix or replace it. You can end the placement with 30 days' notice.
Are you insured?
Yes, general liability on the machine and its operation. Ask and I'll send the certificate.
