> Your math is WAY off there. 20 cans a day at $2 profit per can is $40/day. 365 days a year and that’s $7300 a year. Minus 20% to go to the PF if they agree to the low number, that’s maybe $5800 a year. Plus in the first year you need to factor in the cost of the machine.  
> For you to make even $50k a year, you’d need to sell about 30-35 thousand cans a year, so about 3000 cans a month, or 1000 cans a day.

$5800 a year x6 machines =34,800
