Miscalculations of funding

Ineffective facility layout

Failure to theme your centre effectively and adding the wow factor
-
Poor attraction mix
-
Poor planning
-
Missed opening dates
-
Lack of advertising
-
Lack of staff training
The fact is when you open an Entertainment Centre, you are faced with a daunting task. You now need to deal with an array of permits, Construction issues, Tradesmen, suppliers and venders , contracts , Insurance ,accounting , scheduling, marketing, lighting ,carpets and tiling, cleaning suppliers, emergency procedures, Emergency equipment, effective branding including professional logo design, website, printing, food menu, pricing and staff requirements.
All of these can become overwhelming to most business savvy people around.
Poor choice in supplier and not knowing what to look for when purchasing play equipment could be a big mistake.
Buying cheap from other countries where you can buy cheap always ends up being a very costly piece of equipment before long. If you misjudge on a couple of these matters its properly no big deal but if you cut too many corners or make to many bad deals your chances for success are virtually eliminated.
Why risk it Have it all done for you right the first time. Be a professional operator from the day you open.
So … do you want to be the best and have the best chance of success?
