:: EMPLOYEES
Hiring, training, employee manuals.
Remember:

- Employee attitude dictates the feel of your club?
- Employee attitude dictates the feel of your club?
See I said that twice!!

Don't build a beautiful club, and make mistakes here. Pretty furniture does not correct poor service!!. Over the years I have hired and trained hundreds of bartenders, waitress, doormen, promotional people, managers, etc. And can be of great assistance in this category.

:: ENTERTAINMENT
All areas, disco, pop, top 40, rock, jazz, blues, electronic, live or recorded. What will your clients want? Are you sure?
I am experienced in all of the above from supervising DJ's, to managing 10 piece house bands to booking national acts.

:: ACCOUNTING
Inventories, purchasing, payrolls, daily reports, P & l's, bar accounting, theft and waste control and choice of cash registers. Percentages :

· Liquor cost
· Payroll cost
· Entertainment cost

Let me show you what you need and don't need in a cash register. This area could be where the phrase "penny wise, pound foolish" was coined.

:: MARKETING
Radio, television, newspaper, direct mail, which is best in your market, for your club? I have used them all and they all cost money- be sure you are getting the best bang for your buck. Budgeting of weekly promotional costs.
Some clubs need a sales and promotion department- will yours?

:: BUDGETS AND FORECASTING

How quickly should you regain your initial investment? Business plan for 1st year, three scenarios, worst, acceptable, money maker. What type of club are you creating - average revenue that will last for many years or super high volume that will be finished in three to five years. If it is the later do you have a game plan in place?
