Leisure centers are a demanded line of business. And although this direction requires serious investments, however, with a competent approach, the return can be appropriate. The guarantee of this is the correctly selected premises, competently selected, qualified personnel, the level of service, the range of services offered to customers and the quality of their provision.
Instructions
Step 1
Find the right space to suit all your needs. Requests will completely depend on your plans: what services you plan to provide in your center. In any case, several separate spacious rooms will be required: for example, a bar, a disco, a bowling center, a billiard room, a spa. Since the bar is likely to require a license to trade in alcohol, the distance from children's and sports facilities, hospitals and clinics, due to the provisions of the laws of your region, becomes important. Consider also specific requirements for sound insulation, ventilation, fire safety and many others.
Step 2
Enter into a lease agreement for the premises you have chosen or, if possible, acquire it in ownership and, if acquired, register it for yourself or your company in the manner prescribed by law. To do this, you will need to contact the territorial division of Rosregistration with a package of necessary documents.
Step 3
Take care of the repair of the premises and its conversion to the needs of the future center. Here it is important not to skimp on the services of top-class designers and builders, and when choosing materials for interior decoration, take into account considerations not only of aesthetics, but also of ecology and safety.
Step 4
Get involved in collecting the necessary licenses in parallel with the repair. You will need at least a license to sell alcohol in a bar. The need for the rest depends on the areas you choose and the specifics of federal and local legislation. It is possible that others will not be needed.
Step 5
Purchase and install the required equipment. Agree on the possibility of installing it with those who will make repairs in your premises. It is optimal to carry out the necessary work with the help of the same specialists or, even better, their joint efforts with equipment suppliers.
Step 6
Recruit the staff of the future center, taking into account its scale and your chosen directions. These parameters determine how many people and who have what specialties you need to hire.
Step 7
Consider an advertising strategy. For a serious entertainment center, it is better to use several channels of consumer information: mass media, outdoor advertising, distribution of leaflets and booklets in a new location, and distribution to mailboxes. Discount flyers can be helpful. Inform future visitors in a timely manner about the imminent opening, discounts and promotions that have been prepared for them (this direction will need to be thought out separately). All this is guaranteed to attract visitors to you in the first days of work. Whether it will be possible to keep them in the future will depend only on you and the staff you recruited.
