Revenue sources

• Ticket income: This is the basic income method. The pricing varies by region, location, and the grade of the playground. Usually, the ticket prices are set at different levels for different age groups, and options such as single - entry and multiple - entry tickets are offered.

• Membership card sales: The membership system is an important profit - making model. The more membership cards are sold, the faster the cost can be recovered. By providing membership cards or season - cards, customers can be attracted to obtain stable income.

• Product sales: Toys, children's books, snacks, cold drinks, and other items can be sold in the playground, which can increase additional profits.

• Training courses: Some parenting courses can be set up, including training courses to improve children's moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor development, or training courses for parents, so as to obtain corresponding income.

• Cooperation and joint operation: It can cooperate with merchants in related industrial chains. For example, children's clothing stores can rent venues to carry out children's fashion shows and other activities to obtain income from cooperation.

• Children's trusteeship: Provide children's trusteeship services to help parents solve the problem of unattended children when they go out, and thus get additional income.

Cost analysis

• Fixed costs: Site rent accounts for a large proportion of the fixed costs and varies according to the size and geographical location of the site. In addition, labor costs include employee salaries, training costs, and welfare benefits. Indoor playgrounds usually require enough employees to ensure safety and service quality.

• Variable costs: Equipment maintenance and update costs include regular inspection and maintenance of amusement equipment, repair of damaged equipment, and regular update of equipment to maintain attraction and safety. At the same time, the management and replenishment of inventory of toys, food, and other consumables in the playground are also variable costs that need to be considered.

• Safety and insurance costs: Investments in safety facilities and measures, such as safety nets, cushions, and first - aid equipment, are required to ensure the safety of tourists. In addition, liability insurance premiums cover accidental injuries and other potential risks to protect the indoor playground from legal liability.

• Marketing and promotion costs: Include advertising and publicity expenses, such as market promotion activities, online advertising, and social media marketing expenses, to attract more customers and increase popularity.

• Operation and management costs: Include fees for software and technical support used to manage reservations, ticketing systems, and employee schedules.
