The billiard business is a profitable activity, which, however, requires some knowledge in this area from its owner. If, of course, your goal is to entertain the audience on one of the central streets of the city on a weekend, then it is not at all necessary to understand the intricacies of the game. But there are too many such establishments, so there is much more chance of success for those who can declare and confirm the high status of their billiard room.
It is necessary
- 1. Premises with an area of at least 250 m2
- 2. Billiard tables with a full set of accessories for them (at least ten pieces, both for the "pool" and for Russian billiards)
- 3. Bar counter and chairs
- 4. Contracts for the supply of alcohol and food
- 5. Personnel (minimum - 5 people)
Instructions
Step 1
Decide on the type of billiard room you intend to open. The simplest option is an entertainment venue for the general public, where the bar plays a role no less important than the billiard tables. An institution of a purely sports plan, in which tournaments are held, collects a good amount every time from the contributions of their participants, but it is better to organize it for people who play billiards professionally themselves, and only for them. Finally, the third way is a premium-class billiard room, designed for a wealthy public with increased demands on the level of service.
Step 2
Find out as much as possible about what tables and accessories for billiards are before purchasing equipment. Any self-respecting billiard room should have tables for both American fans and those who prefer Russian billiards. The total number of billiard tables that you will need to purchase should be no less than ten. Buy high-quality and new equipment - the range of prices for billiard accessories is very large, but you should not be tempted to save money at the start.
Step 3
Find ways to solve the problem associated with the selection of qualified personnel - especially this concerns markers. These employees should not only be experts in billiards, but also people who know how to find a common language with clients. With the rest of the "personnel" for the billiard room, the situation is simpler - bartenders, "security", administrators and accountants are represented on the labor market much more widely.
Step 4
Buy a bar and set aside part of the space for a bar - it is believed that it brings the owner of the establishment as much as the hourly pay for the game. The billiard room should be large enough to accommodate a counter and bar stools for those wishing to have a drink or a snack between two parties. Of course, you also need to take care of the purchase of alcohol and light snacks, making a mark-up on this product that is adequate to the status of your establishment.
