If you run a cafe, convenience store, restaurant, or any shop, you can turn your spare space into extra income. LIT (Life is Travel) is a luggage storage platform that connects travelers with local businesses. Store travelers' bags in a corner of your shop and keep 90% of the storage fee as revenue.
How Much Can You Earn?
Cafes near tourist areas receive an average of 3 to 5 luggage storage bookings per day. At ₩6,000 (about $5) per bag with a 10% commission, that is ₩5,400 (about $4.15) net per bag.
