A real-life example
Take an average location in Belgrade: machine price €8,900, average price per wash 800 RSD, 8 washes a day (240 a month). That means monthly revenue of about 192,000 RSD, and after water, power and rent (about 25,000 RSD), a net profit of about 167,000 RSD per month.
The total investment of about 1,040,000 RSD (€8,900 x ~117 RSD) pays back in about 6 months. Everything after that is pure profit.
