CONCLUSION: DO MOST STRIP CLUBS
SCORE A FAILING GRADE OF F+
CHECK YES
|
X
|
|
|
Most strip clubs are owned and operated
by individuals with little or no college level degrees in
|
|
hospitality management, accounting, or business financial analysis.
|
|
The management culture of this industry
is built on the gross sales "front end" keep the party going
|
|
concept with little to zero focus on
"back end" analytics. This
myopic approch to stip club mangement
|
|
flushes massive amounts of "lost net
profits" down the toilet or into the pockets of dishonest employees.
