    locations and locker doors

    Executive summary

    A laundromat chain in the southern US put lockers in 8 locations with 45 doors and has collected $7,033.35 in confirmed revenue across 187 paid orders. The strongest signal is repeat use, because 71.7% of paid orders came from returning customers.

    The baseline

    A staffed counter limits a laundromat to the hours someone is present, so orders that arrive outside those hours sit unhandled.

    The catalyst

    The chain deployed lockers across 8 locations, 45 doors in total, with 4 to 6 doors per site. 68 of the 187 paid orders carry a web source tag.

    The impact, by the numbers

    $37.81

    average order value across 186 orders; median $29.96

    134 of 187

    paid orders came from customers who came back

    68

    paid orders placed through the web, no one at the desk

    The takeaway

    Repeat use is the evidence that matters here: 71.7% of paid orders came from returning customers, and each one ran without a person at the desk.
