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.
