I guess if I had multiple units in the same complex (i.e. quadplex) it might make sense. However if you have a single unit and want to “up sell” beverages, snacks, etc, that you purchase yourself, I’d suggest going the route of a hotel mini bar beverage refrigerator. You can supply it with candy bars, beverages, Liquor mini bottles (if its legal to do so), with a list of costs. Less of an investment and less industrial looking.
I’d also suggest
- in order to get the key to that mini bar, that you have them authorize review of costs and agreement that they will be charged for what they have used, and to get that payment vehicle prior to. Could be via PayPal or via ABNB.
- As part of the cleaning and transition process, take pictures (dated) before arrival, and the do the same once they’ve left to ensure you can account for what has been used. If you do an in person transition, then show them the stocked center, and/or provide a picture of it upon their self checkin.
