Operator Playbook

Use location scoring as a launch decision framework

  • Compare at least two site options before finalizing the first machine.
  • Treat footfall quality and operating hours together, not separately.
  • Validate rent burden and refill access before commercial sign-off.
  • Re-score site after first 30 days using real transaction data.

Pre-Launch Checklist

Validate these before approving a location

  • Site footfall windows are verified by observation, not assumptions.
  • Commission/rent burden is within your unit economics threshold.
  • Cashless payment readiness and machine safety are confirmed.
  • Refill access, parking, and service turnaround are practical.

Next Step

Match the shortlisted location with the right machine setup

After finalizing the score, choose machine format and inventory depth that fit the site profile and demand behavior.

Execution Framework

Use a phased rollout workflow

  • Phase 1

    Score shortlisted locations

    Evaluate at least two candidate locations and compare score spread before locking a pilot.

  • Phase 2

    Validate on-ground constraints

    Confirm access windows, safety, power, and refill practicality before commercial sign-off.

  • Phase 3

    Launch and re-score

    Re-check score after 30 days using actual demand behavior to refine expansion decisions.

High-Value Use Cases

Where this tool adds the most value

  • Office and business parks

    Prioritize entries with stable weekday demand and predictable operating windows.

  • Residential and community clusters

    Validate late-hour demand, service access, and security before installation.

  • Transit and public footfall zones

    Compare volume potential against refill frequency and operating complexity.

Performance Tracking

KPIs to monitor after launch

  • Location score conversion rate

    Track how many evaluated locations become approved launches.

  • Score-to-launch cycle time

    Reduce delays between scoring and commercial decision.

  • Post-launch score stability

    Re-check score using first-month data to validate site quality.

Decision Benchmarks

Use benchmark bands before approval

  • Target location score

    75+

    Use this as a baseline before commercial discussions.

  • Footfall consistency

    5 days/week

    Avoid sites with highly irregular demand windows.

  • Service turnaround

    < 24 hours

    Escalation closure time strongly impacts repeat demand.

  • Monthly score variance

    < 10%

    Large swings often indicate unstable location quality.

Risk Controls

Common failure points and mitigations

  • Score looks strong but sales underperform

    Run a two-week pilot with real sales logging before long-term lock-in.

  • High footfall but poor conversion

    Audit product relevance, visibility, and payment convenience for that site.

  • Operational bottlenecks after launch

    Pre-approve refill windows and service routing during site selection.

Execution Cadence

Suggested rollout rhythm after planning

  2. Week 2

    Access, power, and safety validation

  3. Week 3

    Pilot launch and transaction tracking

  4. Week 4

    Re-score with actual usage data

  5. Month 2

    Scale/hold decision for next site

FAQ

Most common planning questions

Answers to the key questions teams ask before approving rollout plans.

What benchmark should I use before launch?

Use practical thresholds: realistic payback window, stable operating margin, and consistent serviceability at your target sites.

Should one metric decide the final decision?

No. Combine commercial metrics with operational checks such as access, refill frequency, and payment readiness before final approval.

When should I review or recalculate the plan?

Review after the first 30 days, and re-check whenever rent/commission, demand pattern, or operating cost changes materially.
