My knowledge is limited to Pleno's description, but did wonder what makes it franchise material as opposed to just a good idea to copy?

You get to use the brand, the original guys build you the actual rooms and the franchise is really really cheap. They regularly build you new rooms etc.

Dissappointing it's in Londonv we thought could make alot from team building events from corporate work, the not other major city in Europe that has it is Prague afawk

Sorry didn't mean to sound negative, but sounds a little like you would be helping them possibly build a brand. Just because it's cheap now doesn't mean it would stay that way if it turned out to be very successful and you wanted to open more branches?   If you love the business, an alternative approach could be to identify the key staff and try offering to double their salaries and relocate to London or wherever to run it for you.
If you have faith in the concept, I wouldn't be put off by existing competition, at least until you've assessed how well they are implementing the idea.

Leeds or Manchester, your potential custom is going to be bigger than Newcastle and not far off London.  Don't have to compete with the London venues.  Another for Glasgow/Edinburgh, Birmingham?

Most of the bets placed so far seem more like hopeful punts rather than value spots

The staff are the owners, they are a group of friends.

You pay 10k euros and they set everything up for you, designs the rooms, do new rooms, build it all and ofc you use the brand too. Its really cheap.

To be honest, we were thinking more Europe for when people go away travelling its one of the "must do's". Definitely think that England could be very good too, although expenses are going to be more expensive.

In the one in budapest in peak season they have 15 groups a day (2 roooms x 8 slots) and charge around say 50 per group, so they are making 400 a day x 7 = 2800 a week, 11k a month and 100k a year. The expenses except rent and staff are minimal because the room is already built. Location isnt super important either and the rooms are actually pretty small so their margin is absolutely huge. They obviously own the brand and take turns working the shifts (only need 1 person) so between them they have a decent little business going. If you could get 10-20 of them and the brand very big then could be raking it in.

All this investment stuff has got me thinking particularly the staking other people and setting up franchises in whatever it is.

You're pretty bloody good at playing poker right?

Why not just stick to that?

Genuine question btw not a dig.

I'm pretty fantastic at what I do but I'm still always looking at other things. For some reason though I always seem to get a much greater success at what I'm brilliant at.

You clearly excel at poker and enjoy playing it so why the need to move in to other things?
