Prompt 01
01 · Venue Fit Score
Act as a parcel-locker network scout who has assessed 200+ UK venues for InPost + Amazon Hub. My venue candidate: [VENUE + LOCATION + HOURS].
Deliver: (1) a 10-point fit-score rubric — footfall, opening hours, ground-floor accessibility, power access, weather-shelter, security, existing signage, parking, competing lockers within 500m, tenant demographic, (2) the 3 red-line disqualifiers that mean 'don't bother applying' (24h access impossible, no power within 5m, listed-building limitations), (3) a photo-audit checklist (12 shots: front, side, power, ceiling, adjacent traffic flow), (4) my venue-owner alignment interview (5 questions to see if they'll sign a 3-year deal), (5) 3 venue archetypes ranked (corner-shop / independent café / gym / launderette / church hall / community centre / small supermarket), (6) the 'invisible cost' checklist (electricity, cleaning, minor space loss), (7) a go/no-go score threshold (7/10 required to apply). End with the ONE venue characteristic that InPost / Amazon reject 40% of applications for despite great footfall.
Prompt 02
02 · Operator Comparison (InPost vs Amazon vs Yodel vs Evri)
Act as a parcel-operator network-partner strategist. My venue: [VENUE + LOCATION].
Deliver: (1) a 4-operator comparison matrix — InPost UK (24h access requirement, £150-£450 hosting fee, 5-year term), Amazon Hub Counter (staff-served model, higher fee, integrates with Amazon returns), Yodel Direct (lightweight click-and-collect), Evri ParcelShop / Locker (mid-tier), (2) the 3 network tiers by fit for MY venue, (3) the average hosting fee band per operator + how it varies by footfall postcode, (4) the exclusivity trap — most contracts are exclusive; how to negotiate a 'complementary partner' clause, (5) the payout structure (monthly fixed vs volume-based; some operators pay per parcel), (6) contract-length norms (3-5 years for hardware installs; 12mo for staff-served), (7) the applications-to-installed conversion rate (~1 in 6 for hardware lockers). End with the ONE operator that pays the most but has the highest chance of quietly reducing your fee at year 3.
