Know exactly where your location stands.
The Per Cap Index is a members-only benchmark for family entertainment centers. Every month, see your per cap, labor, food & beverage and margins next to a peer group of locations like yours, so you know what's working and where money is leaking.
You know your numbers. You don't know if they're good.
Every operator tracks per cap and labor. Almost none can see how those numbers compare to locations like theirs. Industry reports are a year old, built on averages, or published by a software vendor. The Per Cap Index is independent and specific to your location, and it updates every month.
Share your month. See your standing.
The Per Cap Index runs on give-to-get. Members contribute their monthly numbers, and every month you contribute opens your comparison for that month.
Request access
Tell us about your location. Every member is approved, so the peer group stays made up of real operators.
Upload your month
Upload your P&L and a POS sales report, use our CSV template, or type the numbers in. CenterEdge and ROLLER are both supported.
We standardize it
Every P&L is mapped to one standard chart of accounts, so you're always comparing like for like.
Get your scorecard
Once 10 locations report a month, it opens, with a clear "benchmark as of" date. Then sort and filter your peers by concept, size and market.
One membership. Monthly clarity.
Your Per Cap Scorecard
Your location next to its peer group on every launch metric. You see where you rank and whether each metric is strong, on par, worth watching or a leak.
- Peer group defaults to your own concept, and you can compare across concepts too
- Multi-location view for groups with more than one site
- Load up to 24 months of history to see your trend
The Per Cap Benchmark
The industry report: low, median and high ranges (P25, median, P75) by location type, size and market. Members get it free.
- Built from real operator P&Ls, not survey guesses
- Independent. Not owned by a POS or software vendor
The operator community
A private forum for current members. Ask the group what is and isn't working, and get answers from owners who have already solved it.
Location profile comparisons
Compare on what's actually in the building: attraction mix, arcade size, kitchen and seating, injury rates, review stars, rent and financing.
Revenue & guests
Total per cap, admission per cap, F&B per cap, revenue and guests per sq ft, guests per open hour
Parties
Parties per week, average party revenue, share of parties booked online
Cost control
Labor % of revenue, labor cost per guest, COGS, rent and insurance as a % of revenue
Leaks
Discounts, manager overrides with no reason, slow open hours, and 4-wall EBITDA margin
Your numbers stay yours.
The value of an index depends on operators trusting it. These rules don't change.
No one is named
No location, owner or brand is ever identified. Members only see ranges and medians.
10-location minimum
A peer group shows only when 10 or more locations report. A multi-location owner counts as one contributor.
You own your data
You can withdraw it at any time. We never sell individual location data.
Fair exchange
You see the benchmark for the months you contribute. Everyone gives, so everyone gets.
Help build the index. Get in first.
Founding members are the operators who make the first peer groups possible. In exchange, they get the longest free period and a founding rate that stays locked in.
No card to start
Get approved, upload your data and start benchmarking. You won't pay anything until your free period ends.
Shape the metrics
Founding members have a direct say in what the Scorecard measures next.
A locked founding rate
After the free period, you keep the founding rate as long as you upload every month.
Free for single locations. Multi-location groups get up to 18 months free: the extra 6 months unlock when you upload your 24-month history within 30 days of joining.
Request your spot.
It takes under a minute. We review every request personally and will follow up with next steps as founding spots open.
Run a trampoline park, bowling center, skating rink or multi-attraction FEC? The index is being built for all of them.
Questions operators ask.
Will anyone be able to see my numbers?
No. Your location is never named or shown on its own. Other members only see ranges and medians for peer groups of 10 or more locations, and a multi-location owner counts as one contributor so no single group can dominate a result.
What do I need to upload?
Your monthly P&L and a sales report from your POS. If you use QuickBooks, CenterEdge or ROLLER, you can upload exports directly. You can also fill in our CSV template, or type your sales and guest counts in by hand if you don't use a standard POS.
Is this only for trampoline parks?
No. The index is built for family entertainment broadly: trampoline and active play parks, bowling centers, roller skating rinks and multi-attraction FECs. Comparisons default to your own concept, and you can compare against other concepts too.
What happens when the free period ends?
You'll be asked to continue at the founding rate: $100/month for your first location and $25/month for each additional location, or $1,000/year. You keep that rate as long as you upload every month. If you don't continue, your membership simply ends.
Why is membership by approval?
The benchmark only works if the data comes from real operators. Approving each member keeps the peer groups clean and the community made up of the people actually running locations.
Who is behind The Per Cap Index?
The Per Cap Index was founded by a family entertainment operator with more than a decade of experience opening and running multi-location parks. It is independent, and it is not owned by a POS or software vendor.
