Revenue Per Station
It is how much each physical station — chair, room, or bay — earns in the period.
Formal definition
Revenue per station equals total service revenue divided by the number of active treatment stations, chairs, or provider stations in the period.
Why it matters
Salons and clinics pay rent per station; under-earning stations drag down the whole location.

Worked example
- Monthly service revenue: $48,000.
- Active stations: 6.
- Revenue per station = $48,000 ÷ 6 = $8,000.
- Interpretation: Each station averaged $8,000 in revenue this month.
How Business metrics calculates it
Revenue ÷ Stations or rooms.
Where people fool themselves
Revenue per station that includes a chair used for storage will look like you need more chairs. Count chairs that take appointments.
