i have ideas about this, but they parent exactly fully thought out, as i am focusing on seeing if this would even be feasible.
Basically, our middle school has one machine in the whole building (for students, i bet a staff lounge has one somewhere) just serves water and is broke half of the time. My idea is to have a couple (3-4 max, going for less as it is a middle school) of the big sodas (all diet) then the rest will be juice/Gatorade, and with a couple being water, because water.
Before i could even go much farther someone would need to talk to the MS anyways to get the permissions to do this, and i have a feeling they will want some of the profit, because who doesn't love money?

Do you mind going into a little more detail? How long is the contract, FDA stuff (As MrBasse said) what products are offered, little more explanation on the commission?
