Hmmm...I like the 1st idea
What do people do on vacation? Drink. I'm not sure where you'd open it because you'd have to make sure there is a lot of tourist foot traffic at the location.
So do M and my son. M doesn't drink at all and hasn't for over 4 yrs, but has plenty of experience of sitting in "fun-type" tiki bars in Florida. Son's done bartending since he got out of the Navy, and prior to the Navy and 5 yrs in the Navy...he has
experience too.
I don't know how long it's been since you've been there....but we found some fun "hole in the wall" bars along the coast. Old houses that had been converted in to ultra simple food, and lots of alcohol restaurant/bars. More outdoor seating than interior. They were more fun than the "Boardwalk" places, just cause they were locals, or people who were doing rentals, rather than "tourists".
We rented a condo, and the condo complex had a bar/outdoor restaurant next to the pool and the ocean. This couple rented the space from the condo HOA and they were kickin' ass on making money. They had real simple food, easy grill food like hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled cheese, a couple of sandwiches, snickysnack stuff and drinks. Just a little tiki walk-up bar with about 10 barstools, next to the pool. No bathroom to maintain, that was in the clubhouse on the other side. This is the week we were there, so it was off season. But the lady that ran it, said she has to hire help during the season. Off season, she was only there from like 10-4.
I like the provisioning idea for me. RB likes the pool idea. I'm not sure how many people would hire "two old broads" to do their pool maintenance.
