pool and drive in movies

Cheapskates are better than no skates. And the people that like to spend money also know a deal when they see it.

For example when I was a cook I would make twice as many sirloins on a Monday night than a Saturday night. The reason is because they were on special on Mondays. Transfer that to beer sales. Say that I could charge $3 a beer like everyone else and sell 100 beers a night at that price while paying $1 per beer to stock it which comes out to a $200 profit. Instead I sell for $2.25 and word gets around to where I am selling 200 beers a night because I get in more people and they'll drink a few more because it's easier on their pocket. This comes out to $450 or a $250 profit. Because I have more people coming in I am also selling more food and have more tables full.


you would think that is the case. I personally know of a pool hall that tried everything... even reducing it's beer prices from $2.50 to $1.00 to get more business. The regulars got a bargain but it didn't bring in more business as it should have. The result being the owner lost his normal $1.50 that he would have kept getting from regulars and the few new people that came in did not make up for that difference...........end result.......... a pool hall that had been sucessfully running for 12-15 years.......CLOSED

The pool hall near where I live must have woken up. They are charging 1.50 for draft now which is reasonable.

The place was boomin to last tuesday. A BUNCH of young kids were in there playing. It almost looked like the town hangout like all pool halls should be.

I really think the answer is in league play believe it or not. The APA and the BCA. More people need to get involved.

Let's hope for the best.

pool rooms

Not to be a smart a$$, but the rents, electric, phone, sewage, insurance, plus our own personal bills require some of us to charge what we do, or we can`t pay the monthlys.

I always told my customers that if they can guarantee my 8 tables will be busy all day I would only charge $2.00 per hour , these days it just aint gonna happen.

Then there is the summer when 1/2 your business goes outside all the time.
