ANy bouncers in the house?

[pitbullstl]

How many years did you personally toil before getting ANY free time?

See people don't ever think of the hard work. They think of what it's like *after* the successful hardwork. I've started several business models and gone through the whole spectrum of success/failure.

But yeah, your statement is far from imperical evidence to your venture, be it a hip, chic club or a paper route.

I'm 29.......finished school at 23 with my MBA.......college was tough....work has been a breeze.......I know I'm lucky, and I am thankful for that everyday........a few years as a pharmaceutical rep.....and then self employment from that point forward......

I was lucky to have a very good friend have not one but two successful businesses up and running by the time I had enough to buy my way in as an equal partner.......

Pitbullstl's #1 rule.........save, save , save, and then save some more........cause' it could all be over in the blink of an eye........

I am in no way promoting the entrepeneurial way of life.....as there are far more failures than successes.....

On that note it's time to go play the back nine.............

I bounced on the 2nd biggest party street in the nation and was paid $7/hr plus 10% tip out which came out to 15-18/hr.

I have Bounced off and on for 15 years...Generally speaking, the average price runs around 60 to 125$ per nite(Cash)....Depending on the club and how many other Bouncers and patrons attend or work....

i get 80-100 a night

Thanks for the input guys. One of the reasons I'm going on this venture is because I'm being "let go" from my current job and the job market in my state sucks. I've got some money saved up and 1, possibly 2 partners to go in on it with me. I'm not expecting an easy ride, but I'm tired of working for someone else and then being dumped "just because".

Just so no one thinks I think I'm going to make a quick buck.


And did I mention it's going to be a strip bar?

For a strip club, you're going to have to pay out much more than what is mentioned in this thread. Most bouncers I know make anywhere from 80-300 a night depending on the place..

I bounced for a strip club last year and was making 200/night + 5%.

Anothing thing to consider is that you're going to need more than one guy, especially for a strip bar. You wouldn't believe how many MORONS there are on this planet, and they all seem to gravitate to strip clubs. I couldn't imagine one guy working in my old club, he would have gotten pounded. You need at least 3, very well built and/or skilled guys to be safe and keep people from getting seriously hurt..

Thats my opinion from what I have seen being a bouncer myself..

True, but generally, Bouncers in strip clubs are tipped out by the dancers....More often than not...which isn't a bad thing....heh heh heh

10/hour if you are average...cash.

 

[SupraHero]

10/hour if you are average...cash.

That's what I agree with. Wherever you guys are getting 15-20 bucks an hour to bounce let me know i'll come apply. Cause God only knows I have to deal with alot of bullshit for my measly 10.

10/hour if you are average...cash.

That's what I get paid as well. There are 15 of us who work there a night and the max capacity is only 390 (thought they go to 550 or so) so I guess that isn't too terrible consider the ratio of patrons to bouncers.
