The ban on smoking and the promotion of a healthy lifestyle are wonderful. To be more in the fresh air, to go jogging in the early morning, to go out with family is also fine, but for heavy smokers the desire to take a deep breath of fragrant smoke after a hearty lunch is also a kind of pleasure and relaxation. A stylish, self-respecting man, accustomed to comfort, does not feel very comfortable when, after an excellent snack in a restaurant, he is forced to look for a snack on the street to drag on a cigarette, in addition, there are already decrees prohibiting smoking near public catering places.
There is simply an ideal solution how to help such wealthy people and make some money on the fact that the decrees of the government were not calculated a bit. Well, a person can’t abruptly quit smoking if the experience of the smoker has already exceeded dozens of years. A comfortable, beautifully equipped hookah room in a luxurious oriental style for such people is a wonderful outlet and an ideal place to continue your vacation.
For such people, you equip a small room in a luxurious restaurant - arrange with the owner of the establishment to rent one room for you, and the rest you take on.
This is beneficial for the restaurateur, he will receive from renting an empty room, a rumor will go around the city that you can perfectly relax after dinner and smoke, for you - direct revenue, and for wealthy people - a new vacation spot. Just do not choose for this purpose just a cafe where people rush to have a snack on the way.
So, you managed to conclude a contract with a restaurateur, you need to make repairs in the room and equip it only in the style of the terry East itself: low comfortable sofas, pillows, low tables on which hookahs are installed, preferably several separate small cabins, which you can retire to. It is advisable to leave a place for dancing in the center.
What do you need for a hookah room
All equipment for a hookah room is so compact that you can arrange it in a couple of hours. Before setting tables and hookahs, it is worth taking care of a perfect exhaust, so that the smoke does not stand in the room, but stretches out silently all the time, the aroma of oriental mixtures should be in the hookah room, the elusive charm of the East, soft melodious music should sound.
For four visitors you need
- 4 hookahs.
- 4 low tables.
- Coal, smoking blends, tobacco.
- Hoses, tubes, change bowls.
- Flasks (stock).
- Burner.
- Ruff.
- Mouthpieces.
- Foil.
- Forceps.
- Many beautiful pillows in oriental style.
- Fire extinguishers.
Be sure to prepare a hookahman if the owner of the institution is not ready to play this role. To study everything related to tobacco and non-nicotine mixtures, to be able to season hookah, and to unobtrusively help visitors - so far this type of smoking is not very popular with us. When equipping the room, provide for a slight elevation in the center - this is the place for the dancer.
What documents are needed for an entrepreneur
The first and most important thing is to draw up a package of documents, if you intend to offer your customers alcoholic drinks, then it is worth stopping at LLC, an individual entrepreneur is not allowed to trade in hard liquors. Leaving alcohol at a restaurateur is neither profitable, nor wrong - a person whose clothes smell like smoke cannot appear in the common room where the rest of the guests feast.
The next document is coordination with the SES and the fire service, such papers are received quite quickly, because you are not going to offer your guests anything but nuts and chips in packages. If you have drawn up LLC documents, you have the right to obtain a license for the sale of hard alcohol.
The prospects for this business today are many, let’s say right away, an untwisted topic, very interesting. It is worth approaching it very subtly and softly, if you manage to create the right atmosphere, then you will have a lot of customers, word of mouth works quickly.
The only strict condition is that everything should be beautiful and professional: a hookah man, a bartender preparing drinks, a dancer, and service. Only in this way you will achieve real success, and you will have the happiest future in this direction. Do not forget also such obligatory services as your own toilet room, service room.
How quickly the hookah room pays off
It’s not necessary to install furniture in a hookah room; rather, it’s worthwhile to dwell on the idea of a tent or a living room for an oriental resident - carpets and textiles. Do not forget that all soft tissues absorb odors very quickly, so you will need a washing vacuum cleaner, but this is already a matter of technology - to perfect the service staff. According to professionals, to invest in a hookah room you need only one hundred thousand rubles - this is the equipment itself and the arrangement. You also need to calculate the rent of premises and the salary of your employees - it will also cost about the same amount as you see, the contribution is minimal, all other types of entrepreneurship require much larger investments.

Hookahs. Buy from trusted suppliers (3000-5000 apiece).

A prerequisite is to buy only high-quality smoking mixes. Since the conversation is about starting something unknown, you need to do it at the highest level, it is worth concluding agreements with suppliers from Turkey, where the hookah has the longest history, it is not difficult to find such suppliers, they will be happy to conclude a long-term cooperation agreement with you and help get both equipment and tobacco blends. It’s nice to send your employee for an internship - you always need to learn. Also be strict about the work of the bartender and dancer, if the art of bartender is taught in our country, then even a professional dancer will not show the real “belly dance” - this art also has its own nuances.
Hookah room staff requirements
It has already been noted that everything new must be very high-quality, the hookah room staff must have knowledge of their work, be able to refill the hookah and talk about the varieties of tobacco offered. To be unobtrusive, inconspicuous - the hookah room is designed for VIP guests, for a start it is desirable that the owner of the establishment himself participate in the service, proving that his hookah is not only a place where he makes money, but part of his worldview.
Let your institution amaze everyone with originality, innovation and unusualness. Being the first is always difficult, but very interesting. Become such the first owner of a hookah room in your city. And keep in mind that your institution is not for users with low incomes, wealthy people will come to you, create such an atmosphere that they do not want to leave you.
