To any and all pool room owners, do you offer a monthly "membership" deal at your room? If so, do any of you add a monthly "Food & Beverage" minimum to the membership fee? I believe almost all private golf clubs include an F&B into their monthly charge.
Here's an example to those of you that might not be familiar with the concept: You pay $400/month to be a member at a country club. This includes free greens fees for the entire month. Included in that $400 is $125 that is credited towards food and beverage purchases during the month. If you spend more than $125 on F&B you pay the difference. If you spend less than that, though, you are not credited the remaining amount for the next month.
Wouldn't this encourage the purchase of food and beverages at your room? Isn't the parsimonious nature of pool players a (justifiably) common complaint amongst room owners.
Of course, if you don't have the facilities for making food this wouldn't be applicable.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
