How Does the Salad Vending Machine Financial Model Calculate Revenue?
Revenue starts with store visitors and conversion, adds active repeat-customer orders, converts orders into units, allocates sales mix, and applies category prices.
01
New buyers
Store visitors multiplied by visitor-to-buyer conversion produce first-time buyers.
02
Repeat cohorts
A share of new buyers repeats for its stated customer lifetime.
03
Monthly orders
First orders combine with active repeat customers multiplied by repeat order frequency.
04
Units and mix
Orders convert to units per order, then units are allocated by category sales mix.
05
Category revenue
Allocated category units are priced, then category revenue is totaled across categories and months.
CORE FORMULARevenue = Units sold × Sales-mix-weighted price

CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your revenue depends on subscriptions, contracts, usage fees, or another fundamentally different sales engine.
You need multiple locations modeled as separate operating entities rather than one shared retail logic.
You require custom operating schedules that do not map to the model's existing cost and staffing structure.
You need reporting or financing logic materially different from the current workbook structure.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.
