I wasn’t 100% naive going in, but I wish someone had sent me this article before we opened an arcade bar. The economics of retail small businesses that pay living wages is break even at best unless you’ve somehow hit the jackpot on rent/location. Markup on alcohol is 3-500% and we still barely covered expenses. Games made just enough money to cover their repairs. I’d probably do it again, but it’s definitely irrational.
