The culture of hookah smoking came to our country relatively recently, but every year its popularity only increases. Today, hookah is served in many restaurants and cafes, but there are not so many full-fledged specialized bars. The opening of such an institution, where all traditions are observed and the right atmosphere is created, with a good organization, can bring a stable income.

Instructions
Step 1
Choose a premise with a good location, which directly affects the success of your business. This can be a separate room at any institution (cafe, restaurant): in this case, you are guaranteed to receive a steady stream of visitors. However, with proper organization, a detached hookah bar can become a popular place for a long time.
Step 2
Resolve administrative issues. First of all, you need permission from the fire department. In addition, such a business cannot be started without permits from the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service. If you plan to sell alcoholic beverages, you will need a license.
Step 3
Think over the design of a hookah bar using the services of professionals. In this aspect, every detail is important: the arrangement of furniture, interior decor, music, lighting, accessories. Try to create an oriental or Asian flavor. Take care of the convenience of each item that the visitor will touch. Provide good ventilation.
Step 4
Buy the hookahs themselves and their consumables. In this case, it is advisable to choose a foreign manufacturer, having previously studied in detail the main commercial offers of suppliers. You will also need to arrange the supply of tobacco and coal.
Step 5
Hire professional hookah makers. Experts are obliged not only to properly light up and serve the hookah. The service personnel must be able to anticipate the wishes of customers, guess their taste, and suggest interesting combinations of tobacco. In addition, hookah people, as a rule, follow the current trends in this area and even invent their own original ways of serving.
Step 6
Consider a companion menu. As a rule, the direct price for hookah is only a small fraction of the main revenue. The main profit for your establishment will come from treats and drinks. In addition to hookah, you can offer a variety of teas and coffee, alcoholic drinks, cocktails, oriental sweets, dried fruits, desserts. It should be borne in mind that some customers may want to have a snack, even if the food does not match the hookah tradition. That is why it is worth adding a few light snacks to the menu.
