Q What is a good site?
A A location where there is already a flow of clients. Take the machine to the people. eg. hotels, back packers, road houses, deli's, restaurants, caravan parks, resorts, bus terminals, airports, post offices, booking offices. Just about anywhere there is some security to keep an eye on the system and give them change.

Q What's in it for the owner of the location?
A There are many ways the location owner may benefit. Increased traffic will give them value added sales. You may offer a commission of takings or set up the screen to advertise with the built in slideshow that automatically come in after a period of inactivity. Perfect for a booking agent as they can charge the tour operators a fee for the increased exposure. Which ever way you do it everyone wins.
