    You have farms, put some heirloom type pigs in a small enclosure and feed them all of the scraps and mistakes .
    And as an attraction. And ultimately for food.
    Wooly pigs, pot belly pigs, there are many old world pigs that facinate people to see

    Great video James :) it's brilliant you have high standards and want your businesses to look pristine. Also the in house repair of play centre equipment and surfaces is a brill idea too.

    Interesting, I had a quick look at Tripadvisor reviews on this place a few minutes, and I was impressed - every review (good or not so good) got a response (and they looked to be slightly different as well, and referring to the review.
    First impressions count, every single time, James shouldn't have been the one on the 'obvious details' - the 'finer details' yes, not the 'obvious details'.
    A great video and most interesting as well
    👍👍👍

    Great insight into your business. £4-£5 for 2-3 scoops of ice cream is too expensive when your out as a family.

    • @JamesSinclairEntrepreneur
      @JamesSinclairEntrepreneur  2 года назад +12

      I appreciate that. But here’s the breakdown.
      20% for the product
      20% for the overhead
      20% for Vat
      20% for Labour
      20% for profit
      The reality is our staffing works out at 35%
      So on £5 sale we’d make 5% contribution to head office. So between 25p and 50p to central head office.
      Out of this we pay corp tax and reinvest a lot of this money.
      The other option is volume; in reality, most people only visit leisure venues once a year as they like variety. Supermarkets work to lower margin because people spend circa £120 per visit and visit regularly.
      We get around £3 spend per head on food and it has been as high as £5 ( this includes Babies as we count our customers as they come in)

      you are wrong my friend, The two best places I've been a manager at was where we gave more slack on the leash. you have to get the right people though and it works better if the wages are good for the job they are doing.

    Hi James, please could you advise.
    I'm a small local business one man band and I make stickers for vans etc (vinyl signwriting)
    How would you pitch to other companies so I could do the vans for them.
    I'm not sure how to approach this sending an email I don't think will cut it.
    Much appreciated thankyou
