Bose frames arcade ROI as a set of testable assumptions
Use the worksheet structure to prepare a venue review. It does not produce a universal earnings promise; local demand, seasonality, prize cost and downtime remain operator inputs.
Bring numbers that finance and operations can both inspect
Model sequence
1. Estimate monthly paid plays from operating hours, measured start rate and availability.
2. Subtract transaction fees, redemption cost, service cost and agreed venue share.
3. Compare contribution with installed CapEx to calculate a simple payback range.
4. Stress the result at lower play volume and higher downtime before approval.
Boundary: tax, financing, depreciation, labor allocation and food-and-beverage effects sit outside the simple cabinet model unless the project team adds them explicitly.
