Wireless charging ROI calculator

Calculate the potential return on wireless charging at your venue, using research-based Australian venue data. The calculator counts busy evenings only, so there will likely be further advantages beyond the figures shown. For the most accurate results, enter your own revenue and venue figures. You can also adjust the number of units.

Venue Information

Venue Type

Seating Capacity

Patrons per Busy Evening

Research Default: Based on Australian venue capacity analysis. Medium venues average 135 patrons per busy evening.

Revenue Parameters

Revenue per Hour per Patron

AIFS Research Default: $96/hour based on 2022 survey of 1,016 regular patrons ($173 average session ÷ 1.8 hours).

Beverage Revenue per Hour

Research Default: $17/hour based on patron beverage consumption analysis during venue visits.

Busy Evenings per Month

Charging Solution

SwiftPro 25W Units

Recommended: 60 units (75% of seating capacity)

ChargeHUB 25W Units

Impact Assumptions

Patron Impact Percentage

Conservative Default: 2% of patrons affected (split equally between prevented early departures and extended sessions).

Average Session Extension (minutes)

20 minutes

Conservative estimate: Patrons with charged devices stay an average of 20 minutes longer. Prevented early departures assume 30 minutes saved (fixed assumption).

Research foundation & data sources

This calculator projects ROI from research data on Australian venues:

Primary Source: Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) 2022 survey of 1,016 regular patrons examining behavioural patterns, session duration, and expenditure data.

Supporting Data: Analysis of per-patron expenditure across Australian venues (2022-23 data) • DWS Hospitality Specialists Queensland clubs industry benchmarking.

Conservative Methodology: All calculations use conservative 2% total patron impact (split equally: 1% prevented early departures + 1% extended sessions) and focus only on busy evening periods. Prevented early departures assume 30 minutes saved per affected patron. Regular evenings and additional operational benefits provide upside potential not reflected in these projections. Payback period and ROI are calculated on supply cost only.

Individual venue results will vary based on operational factors, guest demographics, and implementation approach. These projections represent conservative estimates using published research data.
