CBI#5 Drive through ATM

[Graingrower]

Crazy Business idea No. 5

Why not have a drive through ATM. Most ATMs are located at the banks or inside a shopping centre, busiest places in town. It's bloody annoying when you can't find a park near the ATM so you can get some cash. The idea would be that you charge a fee of $1 or $2 per transaction. I don't know how much business you'd get or what an ATM costs to run. There would be security issues as well. The concept could include various vending machines in the same driveway, change machines etc.

They have these in the States already; might not be so crazy after all.

(Or, that might make the idea a little more crazy, depending on your view of the world )

uhhh we have them already here in Caboolture......and we are in backwards QLD!!!

 

[chilliblue]

Yes these do exist. I have done contracts for 3 in NSW and 2 in QLD.

the westpac one at Alexandria claims to be the first in Sydney. It doesn't seem to be easy to find I happened to drive past it in a carpark otherwise I wouldn't have known it was there.

There is one at the ANZ bank in Glen Waverley VIC!

Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to more of these. Are the fees similar to normal ATMs?

I can get away with using a regular ATM as a drive-through one, early on a tuesday morning!

There are (at least) 2 Bendigo Bank locations in Geelong that are drive thru.

We were talking about drive-thru on the weekend, and mates came up with the idea of a drive-thru bakery! General shoppers can grab a few loaves or rolls, someone on the way to a morning tea picks up a sponge or something, and the tradies can grab a pie or sausage roll.

Theres a drive through bakery here iirc.

Also drive through funeral homes in America.

It happening quite a bit in OZ these days . They generally drive an F100 or something solid straight through them. Seems to work well

I want drive through milk bars , hate getting out just to go into the shop.

Also drive through funeral homes in America.

So what does one do at the drive through of a funeral home?

Ok, son #1 just told me, it's so Mafia can do a drive through viewing... less risk of getting gunned down that way .

 

[AlmostBob]

they're popping up everywhere

So what does one do at the drive through of a funeral home?

Open the passenger door and push.

LOL.... these are everywhere in the US. I use them because you don't need to bother finding a parking space!

They are usually in groups of 2-4 here in the US, so no waiting....

Great idea and glad Australia is starting to do the same.
