Founder Diaries · New Business Scenting
What launch stock does each franchise store need? With SOSA Vaayu, each machine ships with four 100ml oils - a full 400ml first tank. Add one 300g waterless refill (Rs 1,849) per store as a spare. For ten single-floor stores at list price that is 10 x Rs 12,499 = Rs 1,24,990 in machines and 10 x Rs 1,849 = Rs 18,490 in spares.
How do I know when a franchise store needs a refill? Set one central rule: when a store opens its spare 300g refill, or its tank falls to a level you choose, it reports it and a replacement is sent. Track the tank weekly during the first weeks so the trigger is based on real usage, not a guess.

Vastu note: Vastu Shastra is a traditional Indian system of design and orientation. SOSA respects it as a cultural and personal preference. The placement advice here is practical - airflow, power access, safety and guest comfort - and SOSA makes no claim that any fragrance or machine placement brings prosperity, luck, footfall or business success.
Comfort note: Fragrance is a preference, not a treatment. Keep intensity low where children, older guests or fragrance-sensitive visitors are present, ventilate well, and keep machines and oils away from open flames, diyas and incense.
Facts verified on the SOSA store, October 2026: SOSA Vaayu is a waterless cold-air scent machine covering up to 1000m³ (about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, one whole floor), with a 400ml refillable tank and four 100ml waterless oils in the box; ₹12,499 with the SOSA Originals set or ₹12,999 with a hotel-inspired set. Bluetooth app and onboard buttons, 1h/4h/8h/24h timers, choice of days, adjustable intensity, key-lock, auto-stop, under 38 dB, DC 12V/5W, 165 x 80.5 x 215 mm, freestanding or wall / HVAC mount, CE / RoHS / SGS. Use only SOSA waterless nebuliser oils (100g ₹1,049, 300g ₹1,849; hotel-inspired blends ₹1,099 / ₹1,899) - not Hotel Collection ultrasonic fragrance, reed oil or thick essential oils. The oils in the box last about a year on typical home scheduling; all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. Larger floors: SOSA Angaan (₹25,999, about 8,000-10,000 sq ft) and SOSA Meenar (₹38,500, about 12,000-18,000 sq ft).

How do I plan bulk fragrance purchases for a franchise launch when different locations will have different machine operating schedules?
A franchise launch rarely has one schedule. The mall store runs twelve hours, the high-street store eight, the airport kiosk longer still, and every franchisee wants their store to smell exactly like the flagship. Ordering the same amount of oil for each is the easiest plan and the most wasteful one. Here is a simple way to buy in bulk without overstocking the quiet stores or starving the busy ones.
Quick answers — read this first
How do I plan fragrance oil for franchise stores with different operating hours? Group the stores into schedule bands (for example 8-hour and 12-hour trading), run a tracked pilot in one store per band, then allocate refills to each store by its scheduled hours and intensity. Launch every store with the four 100ml oils in the Vaayu box plus one 300g spare, and set a central reorder trigger at a fixed tank level.What launch stock does each franchise store need? With SOSA Vaayu, each machine ships with four 100ml oils - a full 400ml first tank. Add one 300g waterless refill (Rs 1,849) per store as a spare.

The short answer
Short answer: group stores into schedule bands, pilot one store per band, allocate refills by hours x intensity, launch with each Vaayu's four-oil box plus one 300g spare (Rs 1,849) per store, and set a central reorder trigger. SOSA publishes no consumption rate, so the pilot supplies the numbers.
The machine: SOSA Vaayu - waterless cold-air, one whole floor up to about 2,000-3,000 sq ft, from ₹12,499.
Before you buy: send your floor plan, area, AC layout and opening date to SOSA on WhatsApp (+91 96192 18531).
In this guide
A waterless cold-air machine turns undiluted fragrance oil into a dry, residue-free mist that travels with the room's own airflow. For a new business it is one scheduled, consistent scent across the floor - planned with the fit-out, not added months later.

Straight answer
How do I plan bulk fragrance purchases for a franchise launch when locations run different machine schedules?
Plan in four steps. 1. Band the stores by schedule. Put every location into a band by the hours its machine will run - for example an 8-hour high-street band and a 12-hour mall band - and note any multi-floor store, which needs one Vaayu per floor. 2. Pilot one store per band. SOSA publishes no consumption rate: the box oils last about a year on typical home scheduling, and all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. So run one store in each band for the first weeks, key-locked at its real hours and intensity, and check the tank at the same time each week. 3. Allocate by hours x intensity. Once you know how much tank a band uses per running hour, multiply by each store's scheduled hours - a 12-hour store at the same intensity will use roughly one and a half times what an 8-hour store does. 4. Launch stock and a reorder trigger. Every Vaayu ships with four 100ml oils, a full first tank; add one 300g refill (₹1,849) per store as the spare. For ten single-floor stores at list price that is 10 x ₹12,499 = ₹1,24,990 in machines plus 10 x ₹1,849 = ₹18,490 in spares, ₹1,43,480 in all, before any volume pricing (available on enquiry). Then one central rule: when a store opens its spare, it reports it and a replacement ships. Closed rooms in any store get a reed diffuser. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.
One line: band franchise stores by schedule, pilot one per band, allocate oil by hours x intensity, launch with the box tank plus one 300g spare each, and reorder when the spare is opened. Vaayu from Rs 12,499.
For one consistent scent across a shop or office floor, start with SOSA Vaayu at ₹12,499 (four 100ml oils in the box), and keep a 300g refill (₹1,849) in the stockroom for launch week.
from ₹12,499
A four-step plan for stores on different schedules
Different schedules are not a problem if you plan for them. Three things make it work: grouping the stores, getting real numbers, and a reorder rule every franchisee can follow.
1
Band the stores
Group by hours, then by floor
List every location with three facts: machine hours per day, days open per week, and floor area with ceiling height. Group them into two or three schedule bands - say 8-hour, 12-hour and extended. Within a band, check size: a 600 sq ft kiosk with a 10 ft ceiling is about 170 m³ and will run at low intensity, while a 2,500 sq ft store is about 708 m³ and may run higher, so note intensity alongside hours. A store on two floors needs one Vaayu per floor (2 x ₹12,499 = ₹24,998). Very small stores - a counter or a single closed room - may be better served by reed diffusers; size honestly rather than giving everyone a machine.
Tip: band by machine hours first, then note intensity by floor size within each band.
2
Pilot one per band
Real usage, not an assumed rate
SOSA does not publish a consumption rate, and neither should anyone planning your launch. Choose one representative store in each band and treat its first weeks as a measurement. Set the schedule in the app (1h/4h/8h/24h timers, choice of days), fix the intensity, turn on the key-lock so nobody changes it, and record the tank level at the same time every week. Give a new space two to three days to charge, then dial the intensity down to where a fresh visitor notices it gently - staff stop smelling it within days, so do not let them be the judge. Divide the tank used by the running hours: that is your band's usage per running hour, and it is the number the whole plan rests on.
3
Launch stock and reorder
Box tank, one spare, one rule
Launch every store the same way: the four 100ml oils in the Vaayu box fill the 400ml tank, and one 300g waterless refill (₹1,849) sits in the stockroom as the spare. Buy the 300g size - about ₹6.16 per gram against ₹10.49 for 100g. Then allocate the bulk order by each store's hours x its band's usage per running hour, and set one central reorder trigger: the day a store opens its spare, it messages head office and a replacement goes out. That keeps the buffer constant without anyone forecasting. Order everything in one scent so every store smells like the flagship, and confirm delivery dates for each address with SOSA in writing, because lead times are not published.
Tip: the day a store opens its spare 300g refill, a replacement should already be on its way.
The SOSA principle
Different schedules need different quantities, not different plans: one banding, one pilot per band, one reorder rule - and the same scent everywhere.
Ten single-floor stores at list price: 10 x Rs 12,499 = Rs 1,24,990 in machines plus 10 x Rs 1,849 = Rs 18,490 in 300g spares, Rs 1,43,480 in all. Volume pricing is on enquiry - +91 96192 18531.
Launch stock and the reorder rule
Here is how the launch order for a franchise on mixed schedules breaks down.
The SOSA scent edit
Franchise launch on mixed schedules: what to buy
| Scent | Why it suits the mood |
|---|---|
| Every store floor · SOSA Vaayu | One per floor, four 100ml oils in the box, key-lock on. Rs 12,499; ten stores Rs 1,24,990 at list. |
| Every store · one 300g spare | The buffer that triggers the reorder when opened. Rs 1,849; ten stores Rs 18,490. |
| Bulk refills · allocated by hours x intensity | Sized from one pilot store per schedule band. No published consumption rate, so measure first. |
| Closed rooms and tiny counters · reed diffusers | Passive, no power, for trial rooms, back offices or a single counter. From Rs 749. |

The SOSA scenting ladder
Size the machine to the space you actually want scented. One Vaayu scents the floor it sits on; rooms you keep closed - cabins, trial rooms, washrooms - are better served by a reed diffuser or a small machine of their own. A portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

A note from Sonal
Many of the business owners who message us are weeks away from opening. The interiors are nearly done, the signage is ordered, the AC is going in - and fragrance is the one thing nobody planned. I would much rather we plan it together now, while the electrician can still put a socket in the right place.
Many of you also plan around Vastu - a north- or east-facing entrance, the northeast kept for the pooja. I respect that, and we will work around it. But I will be honest with you: a fragrance does not bring prosperity, and no machine placement can promise footfall. What a scent can do is make your space feel cared for from the first step inside. When the Vastu-preferred corner and the practical corner disagree, I would choose the spot where the air moves, the plug is safe and nobody can knock the machine over.
Send us your floor plan before you buy. If one SOSA Vaayu is right, we will say so; if two reed diffusers would do, we will tell you that too.
Frequently asked questions
How do I plan fragrance oil when franchise stores have different hours?
Group stores into schedule bands, pilot one store per band for the first weeks with the key-lock on, work out the tank used per running hour, then allocate refills to each store by its scheduled hours and intensity.
What should each franchise store receive at launch?
One SOSA Vaayu per floor, which includes four 100ml oils as a full first tank, plus one 300g waterless refill (Rs 1,849) as a spare. Closed rooms such as trial rooms need a reed diffuser.
How much will machines and spares cost for ten franchise stores?
At list price, ten single-floor stores need 10 x Rs 12,499 = Rs 1,24,990 in machines and 10 x Rs 1,849 = Rs 18,490 in 300g spares, Rs 1,43,480 in all. Volume pricing is available on enquiry; no discount figures are published.
Does SOSA publish how much oil a Vaayu uses per day?
No. SOSA says the box oils last about a year on typical home scheduling and that all-day commercial use at higher intensity uses oil faster. Track the tank weekly in a pilot to get your own figure.
How should franchise stores reorder fragrance refills?
Use one central rule: when a store opens its spare 300g refill, it tells head office and a replacement is sent. That keeps a buffer in every store without forecasting, and keeps every store on the same scent.
