A customer lounge and a delivery bay are drawn on the same floor plan and often treated as one scenting decision - they should not be, because they are almost never the same size, the same air handling, or the same distance from a vehicle door.
Quick answers — read this first
Should a dealership's customer lounge and delivery bay be scented as one zone or two? Two. The lounge is usually small, closed and at a normal ceiling height, which is exactly what a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999, up to 1000m³) is built for. The delivery bay is typically larger, more open and often beside a vehicle door, so it should be measured and set separately - sometimes a second Vaayu, sometimes a SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) if it is genuinely bigger.

Why is the delivery bay a different scenting problem from the customer lounge? Because it is usually larger and more open than the lounge, and is frequently positioned right beside the vehicle door the car drives out through, which is a significant air-exchange point. Treating it with the same machine and setting as the lounge usually under- or over-scents one of the two rooms.

Should the lounge and delivery bay use the same fragrance? Yes, the same fragrance in both, at whatever intensity each room calls for. Consistency of scent identity matters across the two zones even though the machine count and settings can differ.
The short answer
Short answer: yes - the lounge and delivery bay are different volumes with different air handling, and should be measured, machined and set separately, though they should share one fragrance.
The pick: a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) for the lounge, and either a second Vaayu or a SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) for the delivery bay depending on its size and openness.
Next step: send us both room dimensions and we will plan each zone on its own terms - book a free Tricity scenting plan.

A lounge and a delivery bay rarely share one air-conditioning loop and never share one air-exchange pattern - treat them as two separate plans, not one.

Straight answer
Should the customer lounge and delivery bay have separate scent zones?
Yes. A customer lounge is typically small, closed and kept at a normal ceiling height - the exact conditions a SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999, rated to 1000m³) was designed for, and it usually needs just one. A delivery bay is a different room in almost every respect: it tends to be larger and more open than the lounge, and it is frequently positioned right next to the vehicle door the finished car will drive out through, which is a significant, recurring air-exchange event. Measuring both rooms as one combined number, or assuming the lounge machine's throw reaches the bay, usually leaves one of the two zones wrong. The honest plan treats them separately: size the lounge on its own and give it a Vaayu at a settled level; then measure the delivery bay on its own terms - if it is a normal-sized, closed room, a second Vaayu on the same fragrance is enough; if it is genuinely larger, more open to the vehicle door, or on its own air handling, that is where a SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) belongs instead. What should not change between the two zones is the fragrance itself - one signature, consistently applied, at whatever intensity each room's volume and air exchange call for. A free Tricity scenting plan will measure both rooms with you.
Two rooms, two plans, one fragrance. Measure the lounge and the delivery bay separately before choosing machines or settings.
The customer lounge usually needs one SOSA Vaayu at a settled level - waterless, under 38dB, rated to 1000m³. The delivery bay is measured on its own terms, sometimes a second Vaayu, sometimes an Angaan if it is genuinely larger and more open.

Why the lounge and delivery bay need two different scenting plans

Three questions separate the two zones: how big is each room, how open is it to a vehicle door, and does each one sit on its own air conditioning.

1
Measure each room on its own
Never one combined number for the lounge and the delivery bay
It is tempting to add the lounge's square footage to the delivery bay's and treat the total as one scenting problem. Do not - the two rooms almost never share the same ceiling height, the same air conditioning, or the same exposure to a vehicle door, so a combined number tells you nothing useful. Measure each room's volume separately using sq ft times ceiling height divided by 35.3.
Tip: size the lounge and the delivery bay as two separate cubic-metre numbers.
SOSA Vaayu
The Vaayu's 1000m³ rating is the number to check each room against individually.
See SOSA Vaayu →
2
Check exposure to the vehicle door
The delivery bay is usually the one that sits beside it
A delivery bay is frequently positioned right next to the door a finished vehicle drives out through, which makes it a recurring, large air-exchange point in a way most customer lounges are not. A room with that much door exposure needs either a machine rated well above its floor-area number, or an acceptance that the level there will read softer than the lounge.
SOSA Angaan
Where the delivery bay is both large and door-exposed, the Angaan's HVAC connection copes better than a freestanding Vaayu fighting the draft.
See SOSA Angaan →
3
Keep one fragrance, two intensities
Consistency of scent, not of setting
The two zones should smell like the same building, which means the same fragrance profile in both. What should differ is the intensity - a small closed lounge needs less than a larger, more open delivery bay just to be perceptible at all, and matching the settings exactly usually over-scents one room or under-scents the other.
Tip: same fragrance everywhere, intensity set per room, never per habit.
SOSA Vaayu
The Vaayu app's adjustable intensity per unit makes this easy to hold consistently across both zones.
See SOSA Vaayu →
The SOSA principle
A lounge and a delivery bay drawn on the same floor plan are still two different rooms. Scenting them as one usually means getting both half right.
Zone by air handling and door exposure, not by which page of the floor plan the room happens to sit on.
SOSA Angaan
For the larger, more open zone: SOSA Angaan connects to the delivery bay's own HVAC and scents up to 3,000m³ even with door exposure, ₹25,999.

Vaayu in the lounge, Vaayu or Angaan in the delivery bay

The lounge nearly always takes a single Vaayu. The delivery bay's answer depends on its own size and door exposure - a second Vaayu if it is closed and modest, an Angaan if it is genuinely larger and open.

Once both zones are sized, the placement follows the airflow, not the floor plan - put the unit on the air path each room already has, near the return rather than in a dead corner. For the reasoning behind why the display floor itself is left out of both zones' plans, see our volume-arithmetic guide, and for the handover moment that often follows the delivery bay, whether signature scent can strengthen vehicle handover. For the group-wide picture, our pillar guide to buying a commercial scent machine.

A lounge and a delivery bay were never one room to begin with. Scenting them as if they were is how a plan quietly fails in the one place a customer notices most.

The SOSA specification for a lounge-and-delivery-bay plan

Two machines cover almost every lounge-and-delivery-bay plan. The Vaayu handles the lounge and a modest, closed delivery bay; the Angaan takes over for a genuinely larger, open one. Both are waterless, made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

SOSA Angaan A larger, open, or door-exposed delivery bay 3,000m³ on that zone's HVAC, 800ml reservoir, metal body, programmable schedules, under 42dB ₹25,999

One honest note: if the delivery bay opens directly onto the vehicle door for long stretches during handover, accept that it will read softer than the lounge regardless of machine, and do not chase that gap by overturning the setting. A free Tricity scenting plan will help size and place both zones correctly.

A note from Sonal

A customer lounge and a delivery bay are often drawn on the same floor plan and treated as one scenting problem. They should not be. The lounge is usually small, closed and kept at a normal ceiling height - exactly the room a Vaayu was built for. The delivery bay is a different animal: bigger, more open, frequently sitting right beside the vehicle door the car will drive out of, and often on its own air conditioning.

My honest advice is to size and set each one on its own terms. Give the lounge one SOSA Vaayu (₹11,999) at a settled, restrained level. Then look at the delivery bay separately - if it is a normal-sized closed room, it can take a second Vaayu on the same fragrance; if it is genuinely larger, more open, and on its own air handling, that is where a SOSA Angaan (₹25,999) earns its place instead of a machine straining past its rating.

One fragrance across both zones, at whatever intensity each room calls for, keeps the identity consistent without pretending the two rooms are the same problem. Everything is made in India, and a portion of every order supports girl-child education through Nanhi Kali.

Frequently asked questions

Should a car dealership's lounge and delivery bay be scented as one zone?
No, they should be treated as two separate zones. The lounge is usually small, closed and at a normal ceiling height, while the delivery bay is typically larger, more open and often positioned beside the vehicle door, which makes it a different volume and air-exchange problem.
Why is the delivery bay usually harder to scent than the customer lounge?
Because it tends to be bigger and more open, and it frequently sits right next to the door a finished vehicle drives out through, which exchanges a large volume of air every time it opens. That combination works against any machine holding a settled fragrance level.
Does the delivery bay need a bigger machine than the lounge?
Sometimes. A closed, modest-sized delivery bay can use a second SOSA Vaayu (Rs 11,999) on the same fragrance as the lounge. A genuinely larger or more open delivery bay, especially one with heavy door exposure, is better served by a SOSA Angaan (Rs 25,999) connected to that zone's own air handling.
Should the lounge and delivery bay use different fragrances?
No. Use the same fragrance in both zones so the dealership reads as one considered building, and vary only the intensity to suit each room's size and air exchange.
How do I know if my delivery bay is closed enough for a Vaayu or open enough to need an Angaan?
Measure its volume using sq ft times ceiling height divided by 35.3, and note how often and how widely the vehicle door stays open during a typical handover. A closed, modest room within roughly 1000 cubic metres suits a Vaayu; a larger or more consistently open bay is worth checking against the Angaan's 3,000 cubic metre rating instead.
