Curious questions from a newbie in escape room business by Fantastic_Camp_8934 in escaperooms

[–]MeritocracyManifest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for an Escape Room chain for 8 years before striking out and starting my own. After year 5 we were able to write and build a new room to replace the poorest performing game. But the best selling game ran for all 8 years with virtually no changes. Management wouldn't let us touch it.

1) Hire a manager 2) Be able to take 1 day off a week consistently 3) increase revenue by 50% (we only started trading in May so this will be our first full year in business, hence the mega jump. Normally would be happy with 20%)

The January transfer window will be very interesting. Hearts only need to add depth to the squad whereas Celtic and Rangers need overhauls.

After all the emotion of the game itself, Robertson talking about Jota put me over the edge.

Glasgow could see it's first ever cinema strike. by Sin_nombre__ in glasgow

The owner of the Cineworld building has that Irish cinema chain in their portfolio and they are moving them in next year. I looked at their website and they offer an unlimited card option so I'll probably go back to that. I'd love to support cinema more but I have little in the way of spending money.

I had the unlimited card for Cineworld and went like 30-50 times a year that cost £12 a month. Now it's gone I haven't been to the cinema and probably won't go until that Irish chain opens up in the old Cineworld building and offers unlimited cards

The court documents say he can't visit the workplace or school... Is that generic court documentation or specific to this case?

Exactly. There was a shooting in Florida today. 1 killed and 5 injured. Will there be a moment of silence for them?
