Yes, we provide comprehensive training programs covering machine operation, basic maintenance, customer service best practices, revenue optimization strategies, and troubleshooting procedures. Training can be conducted on-site or at our facilities, with ongoing educational resources and certification programs available for staff development.

Launching a successful FEC follows a structured, multi-step process. Focus on these core areas to get started:

1. Concept and Feasibility
Define your target audience (age group) and core attraction mix. Conduct a feasibility study to analyze the local market, competition, and potential revenue. This dictates your budget and business model.

2. Financial Planning and Location
Secure financing and identify an optimal location. A strong location needs high visibility, easy access, ample parking, and the right zoning for commercial entertainment.

3. Design and Equipment Selection
This is where MARWEY expertise is critical. Work with our team to create an efficient floor plan and select the anchor attractions—such as soft play, trampolines, or interactive zones—that offer the best Return on Investment (ROI) and guest experience. Prioritize safety, durability, and novelty.

4. Operations and Launch
Obtain all necessary permits, secure comprehensive insurance, hire and train staff, and implement your digital infrastructure (POS system, ticketing, waiver software). Develop a strong pre-opening marketing plan to ensure a successful grand opening.

Would you like to focus on the financial planning and budget breakdown for a specific type of FEC, such as an indoor playground or a multi-attraction center?

Aside from the financial risk of high initial investment, the biggest ongoing operational risk is liability and guest safety. This is closely followed by poor site selection—a hard-to-access or low-visibility location cripples foot traffic and marketing ROI regardless of attraction quality.
