ANy bouncers in the house?

[Code]

So you own a bar, but have no idea what to pay a bouncer??????



Pay him what your most senior bartender makes.

Just to clarify, I'm not looking to be a bouncer, I need to hire one.

Don't own it yet. Just trying to get the details ironed out.

A 3 page thread from all the tough guy wanna-be's who bounce in gay bars.

Such a Grumpy Gus all the time......




We pay our door guys 12.50 an hour with a dollar raise every year.

How many do you have and what is the capacity of your bar?

thanks

Depending on the state you are starting the bar/club in, there may be laws pertaining to the minimum amount of security you can have.

Some states have a ratio of security to patrons.

And this site, is very likely the worst possible resource for this. Considering the sheer amount of liars and con-artists here, I doubt you'll get anything but bullshit from alleged "club owners".

Good point, I know there are some real owners here though. Hopefully I can sift through it and get a ballpark figure. I'm going to check the regualtions from the state, but I thought I'd throw it out here.

Know, as in, met them in their club?

Or because you chat with them frequently?

HUGE difference.

I would wager if there is a single club owner here, he/she doesn't post much at all.

10-12, but keep in mind that half of those guys function primarily as runners (keeping the tables clear, and drinks away from the dance floor) there are no laws in MO as to how many security or doorstaff you must have......but a good rule of thumb is 1 to every 100 people.......most people are there to eat their tabs, and dance the night away, not fight.....I have been told we can hold 3000, don't think we have had more than 1900 though.....and that felt retarded crowded.....

You seem to be an expert on most everything.....all the while being an expert on nothing.

I have all the free time in the world as I sit in my office staring at my lot all day, and hitting the Chicago Auction on Thurs. (except today playing golf at 3) and the St. Louis Auction on Tues. On Friday and Saturday nights, I go down to Velvet (half mine and half a partner's) if I am so inclined......it's an investment not a lifestyle....we have a GM who we both went to High School with and trust to run the business as if it were his own......if he doesn't oh well.......I've lost money a lot faster than that....

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.
