Keep track of the candy sold. If certain candy sells better than others, stock two slots with that candy rather than just one. Take this into account with all of your machines.

Negotiate price. If a certain location wants a percentage, instead offer advertising. You can put their logo on your vending machine rather than paying a percentage. This could potentially save a lot of money.
