Economics of a Commercial Batting Cage
|
A. |
Maximum
capacity on machine operating uninterrupted for one hour =
600 balls @ $1.00 per 24 balls = 25 cycles an hour at $1.00
each or $25.00 per hour per station. |
|
B. |
Full
operational capacity, assuming 36-second period between each
24-ball cycle (coins inserted) would result in 3 minute
cycles of 20 cycles per hour or $20.00 per hour. |
|
C. |
Nine
stations, operating at full capacity, would generate a gross
income of $180.00 per hour. |
|
D. |
Nine
stations at $180.00 per hour for 12-hour day = $2,160.00
gross income at full operational capacity. |

Note: These numbers reflect the earning capabilities of a batting cage,
based upon numbers done at existing operations. These are NOT an
estimate of what your cage can make. These numbers must be modified to
match your potential location based upon it's demographics and strength.
Expenses should be calculated based upon your local labor and
construction costs. This should be done by a qualified market research
group.
