Mainly bar takings in the beginning obviously a small entrance fee £10 ish and like I said start small and build up. Club can Ill afford to take many risks of which a stadium gig most of us to think is a no go.
12p profit a pint? – is it worth the effort?
Your casual pop in / out, 2 pints in an hour drinker will make you 24p
An 8 pint session drinker will tie a table up for say 4 hours and you’ll nearly make a full quid profit.
If someone nicks a couple of bog rolls then that wipes out that profit and leaves you in the excrement.
Stealing ornaments, accidental & deliberate damage / vandalism to seating, furnishings, fixtures etc and then either the ambience of the venue or your bank account is lowered.
