hookah hippie Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hello fellow hookah forum members I am pleased to announce I started my own hookah cafe in the back of a friends night club. Being boss is awesome though the first night I didn't pull in much money I can't wait until I have the spot during the week were I will get a majority of my customers as college students and I will finally make money while doing something I enjoy.

redjako Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 If you get time, can you talk about your processes:How many bowls your packing, coals, what are you doing first, do you have pre-packed bowls (probably not due to flavor selections), hookah's available, what are you charging, etc.I'm starting to brainstorm a bus. plan for a coffee / hookah lounge (utah's liquor laws are painful to get a license).

But that got me to thinking. How about if you got a party bus and took groups of people out smoking hookahs and take them to neat places to have sort of picnic environments and whatever else? I know here in Texas and most places the customers can drink and smoke (if the limo service allows) If I lived in a area like that I would look into something like that.Depending on your other laws you could have a venture that lasted several hours and charge $75 to $100 per head. Would that be a hoot if somebody pulled this off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneGreenMonstah Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 nice nice... how big of a space is it? in other words how many hookahs can you have going reasonably? ...worst case is its a start... get some a customer base and make some money and sooner than later you'll end up in your own place back to debt up to your eyes but will be able to turn a profit all over again! but anyway throw up some pics of the space, tell us a little bit more about it... i've always been interested in how the hookah bars start and this seems like a good one to watch evolve!

jschoenith Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Congrats on opening your own business but remember to not over price or stuff like that but you prob know this, just remember that it needs to be an enjoyable experience every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalliwag Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Did you get any pics of your first night? It does not matter if it was slow. Heck that is to be expected. I just would like to see your first gig bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
