Operating Assumptions

Nail capacity is confirmed. Other room capacity is inferred — flag anything wrong and the model will need to be re-run.

SpaceStationsHoursNotes
Manicure tables10Tue–Sat, 9a–9pConfirmed
Pedicure chairs3Tue–Sat, 9a–9pConfirmed — bottleneck (3.3× fewer than mani)
Brow / lash chair1 (assumed)Tue–Sat, 9a–9pCould share with a mani table
Treatment rooms (shared: facials + medspa)2Tue–Sat, 9a–9pConfirmed — both rooms serve facials and medspa; medspa use gated by injector availability
Assumption to confirm: 90-minute average service, 75% realistic utilization after breaks, setup, and no-shows. All caps and revenue figures below are anchored to that assumption.

Weekly Capacity Model

Service Formula (chairs × 60 hrs ÷ avg time) Theoretical / wk Realistic 75% Monthly
Manicures10 × 60 ÷ 1.5400300~1,300
Pedicures3 × 60 ÷ 1.512090~390
Brow / lash (0.75 hr avg)1 × 60 ÷ 0.758060~260
Treatment rooms (2, shared) — 2 × 60 ÷ 1.5 = 80/wk theoretical, 60/wk realistic. Split below.
  → Facials (shared rooms, injector off / other room)~72 room-hrs ÷ 1.5 × 75%~5642~180
  → MedSpa (shared rooms, injector 3 days = 36 hrs)36 ÷ 1.5 × 75%2418~78
Total service slots704510 / wk~2,210 / mo
Two bottlenecks: (1) Pedicure chairs (3) — any pedi-entitled promo must be capped or steered to Tue–Thu mornings. (2) Treatment rooms are shared between facials and medspa — every medspa hour is a facial hour we can't sell, so the skin-side membership caps below account for the combined 60 slots/wk pool, not two independent pools.

Launch / Grand-Opening Promotion

"Founding 100" — first 60 days

First 100 guests to sign up for any membership tier receive:

Cap and stop-loss:

Guardrails

  1. Pedi chair is sacred. Every pedi-entitled promo must include a Tue–Thu daypart restriction or a hard cap. Members with pedi entitlement book from a reserved pool separate from walk-in inventory.
  2. Shared treatment rooms. Facials and medspa compete for the same 2 rooms. Every extra medspa slot subtracts from facial availability. Rule: reserve at least 50% of weekly room-hours for facials (30 slots/wk) to protect the Skin memberships. If the injector adds a 4th day/wk, revisit caps — you gain ~6 medspa slots/wk.
  3. Members get priority, not exclusivity. Reserve 60% of prime-time slots (Fri–Sat + Tue–Thu 4p–9p) for public bookings. Priority window is 48 hrs earlier, not a locked-out pool — protects new-guest acquisition.
  4. No promo stacking. One promo + one membership discount per visit, never both. Prevents 40%-off pedis eating margin.
  5. Cancellation with teeth. Missed appointments count as the month's service used (no refund, no reschedule). Two no-shows in 12 months moves the member to prepay-required status.
  6. Revenue floor per pedi chair. 90 slots/wk × $130 blended avg = ~$47k/mo minimum pedi revenue the schedule must protect. If a promo would drop that below $40k for the month, kill or shrink it.
  7. Quarterly review. Every 3 months, review member churn, slot utilization by category, and average revenue per member. Kill any tier under 40% enrollment against its cap after 6 months.
