In our country, many have already heard about the newfangled party bass - a new idea of ​​entertainment for party lovers, which have already appeared on the streets of many foreign large cities.

Party buses are something like a beautiful accelerated limousine, since it does not just fit a noisy and cheerful company, it provides almost club special effects, a dance floor, karaoke and other entertainment, moreover, in full growth.

The Party Bus project is a new idea of ​​earning money that can be put on stream. Any entrepreneur who is ready to make money by purchasing a bus and completely re-equipping it into a stylish entertainment center on wheels can make happy young tusoviks who did not appreciate the pleasure of a nightclub on wheels. A brand new bus will soon adequately reward the owner for such a fashionable upgrade.

For a club bus, you can choose any model of an ordinary domestic serial bus.

.
Inside the bus, you should install everything you need for a fashionable club, and these are:

• - small soft sofas to accommodate 18-20 people;
• - bar counters with a good assortment;
• - 1-2 plasma panels with 1m diagonals;
• - a lot of mirrors, which will be a great addition to the interior and will increase the small space of the party bass;
• - dance area with modern special effects and powerful kilowatts of sound;
• - karaoke for two microphones;
• - smoke car;
• - a toilet as in a stationary club may not fit, but you can install an alternative - a bio toilet, since the club (necessarily!) Must have one;
• - dressing room;
• - refrigerator;
• - heating and air conditioning.

To make a profit in a short time, visitors need to be provided with free movement inside the bus along with safe movement around the city. The bus must certainly sound modern fashionable music. Guests of the club bus may not be prohibited from bringing food and drinks with them.

In party-bus you can hold a theme party, birthday, wedding, bachelorette or bachelor party, corporate party, meeting of fellow students and other fun events, setting a certain cost of renting a club on wheels. You can also develop certain systems of discounts for regular customers, or come up with auction club days.

You can study the numerous experience of other entrepreneurs who have created their own successful business with a franchise in the section of our website:

The most successful and informative case in the opinion of the editors of the Russtarup portal:

An interesting experience of creating a business under the franchising program is presented

If entrepreneurs want to put such an idea on stream, then they can choose a way to earn money through franchising, namely, to become franchisors (owners) and for a certain fee (royalties) transfer their business idea to interested entrepreneurs (franchisees).

At the same time, different business packages can be developed: in one package, provide all marketing tools plus consultations on converting a regular bus into a party-bus bus, and in another package, in addition to the previous package, provide the conversion tools themselves (equipment, installation, etc.) ...

Information about your franchise is best placed on sites with business ideas, where future franchisees can learn how to make money with this business.

This business idea certainly has a future. Buses are able to squeeze out limousines, as they can be much more fun to spend time in.

And, since young people always choose movement and freedom of movement, they will visit stationary cafes and clubs less often, more and more often choosing to visit a fashionable party bass, because this is always a new sensation. Good luck everyone!

The modern sphere of entertainment and recreation is so saturated with a variety of proposals that sometimes it seems that it is simply impossible to come up with something fresh and original. As for aspiring entrepreneurs, it becomes more and more difficult for them every day to make their way to the "pie" of the entertainment business. All areas have long been occupied by the old-timers of the market. Beginners have a very hard time. Especially if they are not trying to come up with something new, but only use the already trodden paths.

Fortunately, not all market players think in patterns. Some of them are trying with all their might to create something truly new and unusual. Or at least they simply recycle existing business ideas and, as a result, get new types of income.

Today we want to touch upon such an area of ​​the entertainment business as organizing parties and other festive events. Those who used to arrange everything in clubs, restaurants, bars and other popular establishments. Of course, clubs, cafes and bars remain relevant today. But their popularity has declined somewhat. This is especially true for nightclubs. Clients are already tired of all this monotony. They want something new. Something fresh. Something non-standard.

And what new can you think of in the case of the same nightclubs? New interior. New selection of music. New show. Or maybe a new menu. Yes, it can certainly all work. It might not work. There are many competitors. And they all make similar changes in the way their establishments operate. As a result, if a client visits several clubs, then he does not see anything new. More drastic changes are needed. Something really original.

What if you move the club to an unusual place? This is not a new building or other area of ​​the city. This is all too commonplace. But to create is really cool, original, unusual.

Buses for parties and celebrations

This business idea has already been implemented by our compatriots. From the northern capital - St. Petersburg. Alexander Berest became the author of an unusual project (Barbus company). It was he who came up with the idea to take an ordinary passenger bus and build a real nightclub on its basis.

Previously, Alexander had already dealt with the entertainment industry. He was the owner of one of the St. Petersburg nightclubs. The business was going well, but at one point Alexander and his friends decided to come up with something more original. During a brainstorming session, someone came up with an idea for a dance bus that was driving around Ibiza. So the idea of ​​creating a kind of symbiosis of a bus and a nightclub was born.

Initially, the guys wanted to use a trolley bus as a transport for parties. But later this idea was abandoned, since this type of transport cannot move around the city as freely as an ordinary bus. So we came to the decision to take an ordinary passenger bus as a basis.

The first bus cost the guys 500 thousand rubles. But its re-equipment into a full-fledged club required spending in the amount of 4.5 million rubles. There are three zones inside the bus - a bar part, a relaxation area and, of course, a dance floor.

Barbus now has three full-fledged party buses in its arsenal. Small bus that can accommodate up to 20 people. Ideal for small, cozy companies. The second bus is slightly larger. It can comfortably accommodate up to 30 people. There is also the largest bus with a capacity of up to 50 people. It is often rented for small weddings, corporate events and other festive events. And now the Barbus company is building another bus, which will be equipped in a retro style.

The rental price for the client depends on the chosen bus. The average option costs 30 thousand rubles for four to five hours of rent. That is, in a day, with full workload, you can actually receive about 60 thousand rubles. And in a month the amount will run up about 1.8 million. From one bus. But, as you yourself understand, this is possible only with perfect calculations. In reality, orders do not happen every day. Nevertheless, according to Alexander Berest himself, the monthly turnover of Barbus currently reaches 600 thousand rubles. Very, very good.

Interestingly, there are still very, very few such buses for parties in our time. The vast majority of cities cannot boast of this kind of entertainment. It might be time to act. Good luck!

Many entrepreneurs dream of their own catering business. One of the pretty good business ideas is a cafe on wheels.

Such a cafe is unusual in its appearance and attracts with its low prices. An establishment of this type can be quite good competition for ordinary cafes and restaurants.

Business ideas on wheels are new to our country. To translate such an idea into reality will not take so much money. It is possible to fulfill such wishes of a guest that a regular restaurant cannot - come to its guest.

The specifics of a mini-cafe on wheels

Before you open an institution of this type, you need to decide on the contingent of visitors. Based on the type of your establishment and the prices of products, children, schoolchildren and students will visit you more often.

Every entrepreneur of such a business must come up with an original style of his institution. First of all, you need to think about the interior of the cafe on wheels. Since the cafe is mobile, you need to take care of soundproofing so that it does not bother your customers.

Audio and video acoustics would look good, which can be used not only during a banquet, but also on weekdays. If you decide to hold events in your institution, which will bring you a rather big additional profit, then do not forget about the entertainment program and the banquet menu.

You also need to think about the routes of the cafe in advance, do not forget about all the sights of your city. You can come up with various promotions suitable for your establishment, for example, discounts for regular customers, as well as discounts on birthdays. Do not forget to make a book of regular customers whom you would notify about your promotions by SMS or by phone.

Cafe on Wheels menu

As for the menu, here you need a special approach for such an establishment. You should exclude alcoholic beverages for your visitors. As a last resort, you can include low-alcohol cocktails. A mobile cafe on wheels cannot have its own kitchen, which means that the cafe will operate on semi-finished products of a high degree of readiness, that is, which just need to be warmed up.

These can be dishes such as soups, side dishes and baked goods. You can conclude an agreement with any restaurant, cafe and even with a canteen - it's up to you. If the budget allows, then, of course, it is better to order in a good establishment. Do not forget that if you buy fried salmon at a restaurant at the same price, you will not be able to sell it at the same price; it will be too expensive for your cafe.

Hiring workers

For customer service, you will need a driver, a waiter and a so-called chef who will warm up and prepare coffee. If you want your establishment to work seven days a week, and this is desirable, then you need to take 2 or 3 people (1 person per shift). It is desirable that the drivers are experienced.

Necessary kitchen utensils

For a cafe on wheels, you need to pick up the necessary equipment, but keep in mind the following: if it suddenly gets dirty, there will be nowhere to wash it. Your cafe is moving, and a glass cup standing on the table can fall over at any moment. Having broken 100 glasses, you will have to count the loss.

Necessary equipment for a cafe:

• Kitchen.
• 2 equipment tables.
• Microwave.
• Coffee machine.
• A pair of refrigerators.
• Storage cabinets.
• Dishwasher (if the dishes are reusable) or containers for used disposable dishes.
• Forks, spoons, half-portion plates, small tablespoons, saucer, trays, napkin holders, bread bins, etc.
• Chairs and tables are plastic or wooden. All furniture must be bolted to the wall and floor of the bus.

Necessary conditions for a cafe

Do not forget about heating in winter, heating the lower steps, and in hot weather - an air conditioner. As for the parking lot, you can agree on it with one motor transport company in your city. There are two ways to organize this kind of business:

• Buy a franchise.
• Create your own brand.

The price of the franchise is quite high, it amounts to 90 thousand euros, today it is 4,410,000 rubles. These include: double-decker bus (American made), trademark rights, initial advertising campaign and recipe. But in Russia they try not to get involved with this type of transport, but buy our domestic ones and make a cafe bus to their liking. In addition, you need to collect the necessary documents:

• Permission to open a cafe on the bus.
• Medical examination certificate of all employees.
• Permission from the fire safety authorities.
• License for the sale of goods and alcohol.
• Document with positive results of sanitary inspections.

Planned start-up costs

Bus - 2,800,000 rubles.
Equipment - about 150 thousand rubles, depending on how much you bet.
Cafe and interior decoration - 90-120 thousand rubles.
Total: 3,050,000-3,070,000 rubles.

Monthly expenses:
For fuel - (consumption 30l / 100 km, 100 km per day, 25 rubles per liter) - 23.25 thousand rubles.
Bus service - 15 thousand rubles.
Salaries of employees: 2 drivers - 20 thousand rubles, a waiter - 15 thousand rubles, a cook - 10 thousand rubles, an accountant - 7 thousand rubles.
Total: 142.25 thousand rubles.

Enterprise profit

If we take on average that a mobile cafe on wheels will pay off in a couple of years, then every month you can get 125 thousand rubles in revenue. With an average check of one hundred rubles per client and a 50% margin, the institution must serve 100-120 visitors every day, these figures are completely real. With such a profit, the company will not operate at a loss for itself.

Problems of opening an unusual cafe

The bus cafe is an unusual institution and quite interesting, but unfortunately, the sanitary-epidemiological station and other stations responsible for the cleanliness of the enterprise are in question. The question is whether this type of business can turn out to be unrealizable. Maybe even easy, consider the reasons.

Rospotrebnadzor will be against such a bus that it travels around the city, because the catering company must be connected to the city communications. Fire safety rules state that catering establishments, without exception, must have two emergency exits, and the bus has only one door.

If in your city the population does not exceed 200 thousand people, then such a cafe should not be opened. The population of such cities has their own opinion, it is cheaper for them to go home for dinner than to go to a cafe. The next problem is Russian roads. Any stop provokes the spill of drinks and hot dishes. Based on this, only packaged meals should be present in the cafe menu.

Positive aspects of a mobile cafe

Not every day and not every season will be profitable. For example, in the warm season, your business will be useful for the population, and on frosty or stormy days, no one will come to you. Although the authorities themselves have a negative attitude towards this kind of business, such a cafe would be useful on big holidays, such as the parade on May 1 and 9, and other events.

Having listed all the disadvantages of such an institution, we doubt whether such a business will pay off and whether it will bring any profit at all. An institution with 50 seats or more brings a normal profit, and such a bus can accommodate about 20-30 people. Despite this, nothing can stop the motivated entrepreneur, and he will make it a reality. With a lot of effort and patience, you can make a business like this pretty good.

In different countries, a mobile cafe on wheels is considered acceptable, for example, in Japan. Only in this country are such snacks as takoyaki balls, the main component of which is octopus, prepared. In addition to cafes on wheels, there are many businesses of this kind around the world, take, for example, San Francisco.

There is a mobile restaurant made from an old school bus, and this restaurant is very popular. It is regarded more as an entertainment option with an assortment of fast food menus.

The first project of such a mobile restaurant was launched in Los Angeles in 2008 by chef Roy Choi. He offered visitors Korean and Mexican cuisine. There is also such a business in China, where it is also very popular due to its huge population.

Several years ago, the Moscow government gave the go-ahead to entrepreneurs to open such a business, but so far only drinks are served there. In many cities of Russia, café-trams or café-trolleybuses travel in summer. This type of establishment will look good in cities with a large influx of tourists. If the population wants to see this kind of catering establishments, the government will allow such a business to exist in every city.
