Well Jimmy, then you get to own the pool room and at the very least, you get free table time. Before you go broke that is.
worst money making ideas in a pool room

Because we think with the little head and did say 'hot sexy waitstaff'
In the year 2012 owning any kind of business, and expecting to make a profit from it is a touch nut to crack. I think a pool room is a gamble at best.
A good friend has two dry cleaning shops, and an off side dry cleaning plant in the beach cities of LA County, CA. His monthly workers compensation premium is 5K for for under 40 employees total part, and full time.
Add to that rent, phones, fax, bank credit card fees, utilities, licenses, permits, equipment payments, etc., etc.,
Making a living looks good when you see his monthly gross, after expenses the Net Profit is not worth the problems associate with the businesses.
So it is all up for sale, and the market is not promising.
My cousin faces similar businesses challenges in sin city with his parking lot sweeping business.
Everone see all the money coing in the front door, but few realize the TRYE COST of Business OPERATION.

Unfortunately, doing stuff that hurts the serious pool player actually seems to be a GREAT money making idea.
Live music 3 nights a week? Bright lights with a party atmosphere? Terrible but hot waitstaff? Loud music, smoke, tons of alcohol, greasy food? Letting the tables get beat to death and never refelting them?
I see places that operate this way and focus 100% on the bar and 0% on the players, and it seems to work out great for them. I guess they know which side their bread is buttered on.

You're 100% correct CC. When I got sucked into buying a Freightliner and a grain trailer, I had no problems bringing in 10K a month, not much for a working truck but we stayed close to home and we didn't have to work overly hard for the money.
Subtract the fuel, maintenance, and monthly repairs and there wasn't much to keep the wolves from the door at the end of the month.
Lots coming in and lots going out, not much stayed. Owning your own biz is not all its cracked up to be for most.
