How Loop-ah Turns Rooms into Contracted ARR
Hotels don’t buy “loofahs” — they contract rooms. Loop-ah™ installs once, then ships high-GM refills on a predictable cadence. Revenue is recognized on cartridge delivery, so ARR and GP live in the cartridge line while hardware stays a light, fast-payback enabler.
