This conversation started with a discussion of VIP policies requiring the purchase of bottles and whether or not that was a good idea in light of the amount of booze most will consume. Now you want to have it both ways.....you want the seat and the bottle service without the premium.
Normal Group of Four:
4 covers @ $25 = $100
6 drinks each @ $14 = $336
Total (exclusive of tips) = $436
(If they drank 11 drinks each = $716)
VIP Group of four:
Cover = $0
2 Bottles (11 drinks each) = $500
Total (exclusive of tip) = $500
The real estate costs you
Why do clubs do this even though the math says that Gen Ad is more profitable? Because the VIP is a guaranteed $500.
What I am saying is that clubs, especially those with extended hours, should have general admission seating areas. I would not allow you to purchase by the bottle because you're not VIP.
