The Strip Club Project (Part 2)


While researching potential customer I discovered that there are 2,486 Gentlemen's Clubs in the United Sates. The top ten states (California, Florida, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas) accounting for 54% or 1,362 clubs. Surprisingly, the state of Nevada did not make the top ten.


   
The object of the initial release of the programs is to obtain a small market share of 10 customers. Below the chart demonstrates the residual income from maintaining 10, 20 and 100 customers per year.  There is a maintenance fee of $100 for cloud storage, backup storage and reports generation.
 
The program has an estimated retail price of $2,500, will generate $25,000, $50,000 and $250,000 respectively in retail sales with same 10, 20 and 100 customers..

The Strip Club Project (Part 1)

A friend of mines is a bouncer in a strip club and he was complaining about the software program he uses at work.  During the conversation I asked him the name of the program and researched it.  What found lead me on this journey, there was no true program someone pasted together an application from some WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) program.  The whole development time was maybe an hour and retailed for $5495.00.

There is a lot of tracking in this environment; performers basically pay everyone else’s salaries. The dancers pay a stage fee to enter the club or on their way out.  Dancers are compensated when customers buys them a drink (usually Coke, Sprite or tea at premium alcohol prices), perform on stage (tips), table, lap or VIP room dance (set rate).

What I am proposing is and application that logs employees in and out with biometric (fingerprint scanner), tracks all customer and entertainer interaction via cell phone app and produces IRS forms (i.e. 1099) and miscellaneous reports.

The business owner or manager can track activities within the club from their cell phone or computer from anywhere in the world. Backups are performed though cloud computing 12 times per hour. The bouncer, security or other club monitor can update the entertainers’ activities via cell phone application.
