What this file helps you do

Understand the proposed payment

The guide discusses a percentage of collections and a flat monthly fee. Use that distinction to establish what the host is asking for and what revenue figure the calculation would use.

Prepare before naming a rate

The cost-limit section helps frame a conversation around the economics you need to check. Pair it with your startup budget or machine P&L rather than copying a rate from another location.

Carry the conversation into writing

Pitch prompts and objection examples help you prepare the meeting. The final section identifies terms to document, providing a bridge to the separate editable agreement template.
