What is the problem of choice

The article is useful for operators and investors who are building a financial model of a platform or partnership

Как сравнивать варианты

Считайте доступные часы отдельно по прайм-тайму и низкому спросу. Для каждого продукта определите число участников, цену, оплату тренера или ведущего, комиссию площадки, налоги, оборудование и маркетинг. Открытый корт требует резерва на погоду, крытый — на постоянную аренду и коммунальные расходы. Турнир может давать высокий оборот, но требует больше персонала и подготовки. Важна маржа на корт-час, а не только выручка события.

First, describe the conditions: hall or street, coverage, player level, frequency of use, storage and budget. Then compare the characteristics. The product card without the test does not show usability and cost of ownership

Start with three checksdaytime; real-time; staffing.

Pre-purchase check

  • daytime
  • real-time
  • staffing
  • inventory depreciation
  • cancellation and refund rate

Signs of a suitable solution

The right option solves the original problem without permanent exceptions: for the player it is important to control and comfort of the hand; for the club - safety, resource, maintenance and speed of preparation of the court

Choice mistakes

The mistake is to think that all watches are equally sold, that weekday morning and evening after work have different demands, and that you should not rule out the time of setting up the nets, cleaning and communicating with customers

When you need another option

There is no saving on safety: check the stability of the grid, the condition of the coverage, the markings and the free space. Tournament admission is confirmed by an official list, not by the seller's statement

Что проверить вживую

Постройте помесячную модель с тремя сценариями загрузки и отдельным стресс-тестом на плохую погоду или потерю прайм-тайм слотов.

Solutions without unnecessary costs

Before purchasing, test two or three options in the same conditions. For the club, conduct the pilot on the same site and calculate the consumption, storage and time of staff
