Despite the fact that saunas have been at the peak of popularity lately, the demand for a classic Russian bath remains relevant. More and more people are choosing a healthy lifestyle, and the bathhouse is unrivaled in this business.
Instructions
Step 1
If you decide to go into the bathing business, then first of all choose a room. It can be purchased or rented. Experts believe that the second option is less promising, because after making repairs and purchasing equipment, you will find yourself in a long-term dependence on the landlord. Finding a room for a small bath is not difficult. An ordinary basement is suitable for this. Some people think that a bath made of modern construction materials will be cheaper than buying a basement. Externally and internally, such a structure practically does not differ from buildings made of stone or wood. In addition, modern materials have proven themselves well.
Step 2
If you find a suitable room, then you will need to obtain permission from the SES and firefighters. If you plan to make a mini-bar in the bath and sell strong alcohol, you will have to take care of obtaining a license.
Step 3
Purchase equipment. For a bath, designed for 8-10 rooms, you will have to equip a wardrobe, a Russian steam room or sauna, a bar, a relaxation room, a massage room, a solarium, and billiards. The range of services will depend on your imagination and financial capabilities. Don't forget about the aesthetic side too. All rooms must be in the same style.
Step 4
As for the stove, you can install a wood, gas or electric stove. Gas stoves are the cheapest, but they can cause complaints from firefighters and difficulties in obtaining permission from them. The most convenient and safe are electric ovens. A wood-fired sauna is considered the most useful for health. However, wood-burning stoves are more difficult to operate, so not many allow themselves such "exotic".
Step 5
Hire staff. The staff of a private bath must be an administrator, a castellan, a steam room, a washer, technical staff (cleaner, electrician). If the bathhouse is small, then the administrator can perform the duties of the castellan, and the technical staff can come. A reputable establishment should have several washers and bathers working in shifts.
