profit wise what type of business is best dine-in with carry-out or a delco? For you indies why did you pick the type your in?
I’d go for a dining room and invite the college kids to come in. Make it a place they can study or watch TV sports or whatever. You need to define WHAT the activity will be and then advertise it to the school. This assumes it’s a DORM campus, not a commuter only. Be prepared for “free refills” to hurt you though. College kids can sip on coke for hours. We used to go to a Denny’s just to get out of the dorm. We didn’t order much and drank a lot of tea, but they were open, the booths were empty and it was quiet and we could study. It helped that they were close and open 24 hours.Everyone does say a delco is less risky and costs less to open. I’m in a college town and am in the planning stages myself. Still trying to decide which venue to take. I’ve always wanted a dine-in c/o type of place but thinking maybe I should go with the delco first.
