How to use this estimate

Start conservative, then test higher traffic assumptions if your shop or event has strong daily collector flow.

TrafficDaily transactions matter most

One extra buyer per day can meaningfully change monthly revenue over time.

MarginsProduct mix controls profit

Sleeves, top loaders, bundles, and sealed products can have different margins. Model them separately when possible.

PlacementVisibility beats hidden corners

Machines perform best when collectors naturally pause, browse, and buy without needing staff assistance.
