Cedric Lavergne
Vending Operator and Business Owner Based in Louisiana.
With nearly two decades of hands-on experience in the vending industry, I have built, operated, refurbished, and sold vending machines across a wide range of environments. My work has included launching and managing vending routes, advising operators on machine selection and placement, and helping new business owners avoid costly early mistakes.
VendingBusiness101.com was created to provide practical, experience-based education for people who want to understand how vending actually works before investing. This platform is not built on theory or marketing trends. It is built on real operational experience, real machines, and real decision-making.
Whether you are evaluating your first AI vending machine, struggling to make a location perform, or looking to transition from traditional vending into AI-powered equipment, the goal here is clarity. I focus on helping operators think through locations, machines, funding, product strategy, and service expectations so they can build a business that is sustainable, not stressful.
The courses and resources on VendingBusiness101.com are designed to teach judgment, not shortcuts. There are no income promises or hype-driven claims. Just practical guidance from someone who has been on both sides of the business: operating machines and helping others succeed with theirs.
If you are serious about building a vending business the right way, this is where you start.
