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.

FAQ
Most common planning questions
Use practical thresholds: realistic payback window, stable operating margin, and consistent serviceability at your target sites.
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
Week 1
Site scoring and shortlist finalization
Week 2
Access, power, and safety validation
Week 3
Pilot launch and transaction tracking
Week 4
