Two months. Im not sure how you got your math, but "BY" may means he only has March and April.

re-apply

im not quitting my day job lol.. this is just a side project... and banging chicks isnt a factor

thanks bro, but got that pretty much covered localy..

i know this.. its one of the reasons i want to open a bar here.. i see these small holes in the walls doing great biz nightly.

where is it located? Anywhere near Secrets Cabaret?

Dude you are crazy, That is complete b.s about the profit after 2 months. Everyone thinks it would be cool to own a bar, your fucking staff owns your ass, like in any cash business.

Not complete b/s. He also doesn't live in rich town where it costs $5 to take a piss and 2 million to open a bar. A bar = a building, a few pool tables, a few gambling machines, and fucking alcohol. It's not rocket science and I didn't say a "night club" or wtf ever you're talking about. Stick to porn. :thumbsup

When I went it was filled with 16-18 year olds driving their fast and furious cars. :( I guess it was vacation week for the high school kids.

He hasn't a clue what he is talking about when he says there isn't any profit on food either.

That apart, the main risk of this biker trade, any seasonal or occasional spikes for that matter, is that for all they put into the cash register when they happen, they also have the potential to damage the business badly for the rest of the time. Regulars don't appreciate being sidelined every time it suits the owner.

One solution might be not to rely on regulars at all, but whether that is feasible in this case, I have no way to know...

i wouldn't put it that way when it comes to restaurant/bar industry, its not that simple... It's more like 5 super intelligent people who did it exactly right, and 95 that couldn't get it done. I have seen some "stupid people" open up some really bad restaurants, that didnt have a chance before it even opened, then I have seen some brillant ideas not make it. There are soooo many reasons that it might not make it. Could be one thing wrong that kills the whole thing, for example everything could be perfect but if you are starting off with too little capitol, or keep bad books, don't understand how to advertise, bad management, or you in a bad location, etc.... one thing wrong can kill the whole business.

do it, then have me come over there and dj once a week ;)

seriously, let me know if you are going to seriously do it, I will come over for the grand opening :)

Ok, normally you have like a 5% chance of making it, your odds with that comment above and the other comment that you and your partner have no experience now adjust your odds of making it to: .05%

the 2 months to turn a profit is bullshit, I don't care how much of a whole in the wall the place is. Even if was a turnkey deal, you still have startup cost, intial inventory, payroll, etc... And if it is that much of a dive, then I doubt it will be grossing that much money. Unless you have a strip club or high scale NYC type club, you make your profit from volume of sales. The prices are pretty relative from bar to bar in a certain area, so volume is what makes money and if you are a whole in the wall you are not going to be making the volume needed to recoupe your investment in 2 months. How much did this guy invest? 5K ?? :1orglaugh

I have to agree with you there....I have worked in clubs and bars since I was 17 years old, and it takes tons of time to eventually see profit

the one exception I have seen was about 4 years ago at this club i ran.....the town was desperatly needing an underground dance club that wasn't cheese...the guy opened the place after only 3 weeks of work on it, the cover was $20 to get in, and in 3 weeks he made back his investment, 400 people a night (thurs-sat) steady at $20 a head did the trick
