CF7000 coin manger ’ s programming and diagnostic features himself . As the business grew , and Definite Food began hiring more drivers , the Fraser ’ s quickly found that these new employees also had the ability to operate the coin manager without much training - a pleasant surprise to the owners . A self-explanatory menu walked drivers through all the necessary tools to operate it , becoming a key feature that saved the company valuable time and resources training new employees .
“ We were , and always are prepared to do formal training with our drivers on how to use the MEI coin mech . The tools are there – the how to videos , user guides , and on-site training , but we continually find that the Series 7000 trains the drivers for us .”
" Par to Auto keeps the tubes filled at an optimal level and minimises a machine ’ s chance of going out of service as it ran out of change "
Series 7000 to manage machine change seemed to remain a consistent choice for Definite Food .
Jody Fraser said : “ When my father and I started Definite Food Services , specifying a coin mech didn ’ t seem like a critical asset decision for us . Eventually , I learned that it was and choosing the Series 7000 is choosing success for us .”

Set on Auto Par While operating the CF7000 in nearly all of his accounts , Fraser discovered another feature that provided great value to the business , Auto Par or “ Par to Auto .” The Par to Auto setting monitors the machine ’ s sales throughput and recommends the amount and mix of coins for the changer to fill to based on its own activity . Through this unique feature , Definite Food doesn ’ t need to guess or spend time trying to calculate the right amount of change to carry in its vending machines . Additionally , they do not need to fill the coin tubes to their maximum capacity with change . Instead , Par to Auto keeps the tubes filled at an optimal level and minimises the risk of a machine going out of service simply because it has ran out of change .
Because of these benefits , Jody standardised with CASHFLOW Series 7000 . However , it wasn ’ t until 2011 that the Fraser ’ s realised positive financial impact Auto Par had been delivering to their business all these years .
Making Real Change In March of 2011 , Definite Food Services purchased Bluenose Vending Services .
