Why ROI Matters

Whenever businesses think about introducing a new service, the first question is: “Will it pay for itself?”

That’s why we ran the numbers for our Indoor and Outdoor Luggage Lockers. Designed for hotels, hostels, cafés, and tourist shops, these lockers don’t just improve customer experience — they also create a steady income stream.

Even at a conservative 50% occupancy rate, the results show that luggage lockers are a solid, low-risk investment.

What We Considered in the ROI Calculation

Investment cost

Indoor Standard: €6,558 (discounted price + transport)
Outdoor Standard: €8,065 (discounted price + transport)

Revenue potential

o Each unit has 12 cells:
- 3 XL (€7/day)
- 5 L (€5/day),
- 4 S (€3.5/day)
o At 50% occupancy, average revenue is about €900/month.

3. Operating costs (per month)

- SaaS software: €30
- Maintenance: €15
- Rent: €200
- Internet: €10
- Electricity: €10
- Total: €265/month

Net monthly profit

Revenue €900 – Costs €265 = €635/month
