FACILITIES WORKSHEET

SIPJOLT site-readiness checklist

Facilities managers, property managers, and campus ops leads can complete this ungated checklist before a site visit. Use it as a readiness worksheet, not an approval letter and not a quote. Leave the rows marked for the site walk blank; SIPJOLT confirms them during the survey and proposal.

SIPJOLT hosts an automated coffee station / barista station as an unattended café partnership: the building provides space and basic utilities; SIPJOLT brings the station at $0 upfront, plus ingredients and maintenance. The exact share of cups sold is confirmed in the proposal.

Standard electrical outletIngredients and ongoing supply
Small storage closet for ingredients and suppliesMaintenance
Access to a utility sinkSeasonal menu updates

Ordering and payment stay on the station. Restocking may be SIPJOLT full-service or partner hands-on. Footprint dimensions, power beyond a standard outlet, drainage beyond sink access, Wi-Fi and network needs, and foot-traffic fit are confirmed during the site walk and in the proposal.

HOW TO

How to use

  1. Walk the candidate location with facilities or building ops.
  2. Mark each item Ready / Needs work / Unknown.
  3. Capture measurements and optional photos (photos ≠ approval).
  4. Submit property type and estimated daily foot-traffic band on Get Started; personalized proposal typically within 24 hours.
  5. Align placement and utilities in consultation; typical path first conversation → first cup is 30 to 60 days (How It Works).

Red / yellow / green below is a local planning aid only. SIPJOLT confirms fit during the site walk and proposal.

8. TRAFFIC

8. Foot-traffic bands (form-style only)

Intake fields in the style of Get Started, not published acceptance thresholds.

Field Your entry
Property typeOffice · Multifamily · Campus / PBSA · Gym · Medical · Other
Estimated daily foot traffic (band)Under 100 · 100 to 250 · 250 to 500 · 500 to 1,000 · 1,000+ · Prefer to discuss
Peak daypartsMorning · Midday · Evening · Overnight / 24-hour building
Occupant mix (qualitative)Residents / employees / students / guests / mixed
Minimum daily foot-traffic rule for SIPJOLT acceptanceConfirmed in the proposal

Foot-traffic fit is reviewed in the proposal. A self-scored “green” traffic row is not automatic approval.

SCORING

Red / yellow / green scoring (planning aid only)

These are not official SIPJOLT acceptance rules. Fit is confirmed during the site walk and proposal.

Color Meaning for your team Example (process only)
Green, ready to schedule surveyPartner-provided items look available; remaining items flagged for the site walkLocation + standard outlet + small storage closet + utility sink access identified; dims / amps / drain / Wi-Fi left for survey
Yellow, resolve before install dateA partner-provided item needs facilities work, or site-walk items may change the layoutOutlet present but furniture blocks spot; closet path awkward; Wi-Fi unknown
Red, not ready for install calendarMissing core partner-provides items, or building cannot host a common-area stationNo nearby outlet; no closet option; no utility sink access; placement blocks egress

A green self-score does not bind SIPJOLT to install. Proposal and site assessment decide fit. Exit terms: no long-term lock-ins; SIPJOLT picks up if not working.

PHOTOS

Photo tip (photos ≠ approval)

Optional set for survey conversation:

  1. Wide shot of candidate location in context.
  2. Floor area with tape measure or known reference.
  3. Outlet plate and nearest panel label if safely accessible.
  4. Utility sink and path to placement.
  5. Storage closet interior.
  6. Ceiling / soffit constraints above the spot.

Photos are not approval. They speed consultation. Only proposal alignment and SIPJOLT site assessment confirm readiness.

FAQ

Common questions.

No, ungated readiness worksheet. Approval follows proposal and site assessment.

Location, standard outlet, small storage closet, utility sink access. Footprint, power, drainage beyond the sink, and Wi-Fi are confirmed during the site walk.

$0 upfront; SIPJOLT brings station, ingredients, maintenance. Share of cups sold with quarterly deposits; exact percentage in the proposal.

The published site need is utility sink access. Any drain need beyond that is confirmed during the site walk.

Search language often says kiosk. SIPJOLT is an automated coffee station and unattended café, not a kiosk.

No.
