BRILLIANT IDEA
A spa health calculator application for spas has been released by JMPankey Partners,
located in North Berwick, Maine. The tool uses best practices, key indicators and
industry standards to allow spas to calculate the financial health of their business.
Customizable, it takes into account the spa size, hours of operation, service revenue
and retail revenue. It even grades spas, in comparison to industry standards, via the
Spa Checkup Application portion of the benchmarking tool.
