FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN ESTABLISHING A BAR/PUB BUSINESS
LOCATION - Well, of course you don’t want your business to be few steps away from school unless you want to be accountable for any mishaps that your customers will do. Thus, there is a big possibility that you end up selling liquors to minors neither way near any church or hospital buildings. It will be great if it’s near business offices since your actions start when their office hours is done. Most likely they want to drop by your bar and grab a drink to release the stress that the long day had given them.
AREA- This time since your place is open to the public you might want to have a floor area that can at least hold 50 customers. Plus a dance floor where they can jive and a bar that can entertain a minimum of 10 seats. Every businessman would like to have greater profit and in a pub you can’t expect your patron to be seated at all time. They will certainly move around, look for a friend or wanting to meet someone new and even dance. Nevertheless, you don’t want a very huge place or it will look like a park and will be boring.
BAR- The most important place, this will be the center of attraction. You better have a good bartender, a charming one that has the talent to entertain your guests, you don’t want Mr. Bean for this job. It should be located in the middle where you can see all your patrons. Must have enough spacing for your bar stools because your customers come in different sizes.
DESIGN and EQUIPMENTS- It is very important that your interior design should go along with your equipments either you choose modern or old school. If you decide to have some furniture, it should better be stable and solid, you don’t want your guest to ruin everything just by bumping it since he has had too much to drink.
LIGHTINGS and GIMMICKS- Just like your design and equipments these two should better match as well. Having RNB music will match with colorful moving lightings so that the guests will at least shake with it. Choosing light colors is different from having bright ones. Changing your dance and music gimmicks daily would be great but don’t make it as your weekly routine ‘cause in the long run it will be lifeless. When it comes to your promotional gimmicks please stay with it at least for a month.
BATHROOM/TABLES and CHAIRS- Please, oh my God, never ever place any table or chair near your wash area, give them space. It would be very generous of you if you will give them an approximate of 5 meter-spacing away from each other. This will let your customer enjoy your menu without hearing the burp sound and in worse cases they will not see those who are storming their way to the bathroom for some emergency transaction with the throne.
