Business Plan
We are the Underground: a haunted house attraction that is located in a cavern. Our goal is to create a truly frightening experience in a very untraditional way by focusing more on the actors and natural setting rather than large effects and displays. We operate seasonal, but keep our lobby/bar open all year. The attraction will consist of a self guided tour of the cave were the participants will explore, figure out what they must do through puzzles, and reading. During their experience, the customer will encounter our actors, who will personally scare them through stalking, jumpscares, chases, ex. The story, and actors will depend on that years theme. Each year we take suggestions from the customers online. We pick the most …show more content…
It will consist of 14 costumed people who are designated to scare customers and 2 bartenders. The costumed employees role is scarce and interact with our customers, while also guiding them along the trail. They will stay in character during their shift (unless on break) playing the role assigned to them. To help keep The Underground an interesting experience, our actors are called to take it a step above other haunted houses, not only acting as a display, but actually interacting with the customers. This could mean following a group, jumping out at individual people, reacting to what the customer does, and, when appropriate, even chasing them. They are also required to follow our “rules of the cave” which is meant to keep the customers safe from any harm. As a seasonal part time job, They will earn minimum wage, $7.25. The two bar tenders will work year round. There job will be to serve the customers drinks, check for ID, and also provide any information a customer might need. Unlike our actors, we will train the bartenders to be as friendly as possible, giving a very different mood to the bar. This includes keeping a smile on their face, starting up conversation when it is welcomed, and responding to request/problems as quick and friendly as possible. Our goal is to make this section of our business a fun and exciting place to hang out, and we believe that the interaction with our bartenders is a key component in that. Our bartenders will be paid 8 dollars an hour. The everyday schedule will consist of one bartender and ten costumed employees doing their jobs. All of the employees will be rotated around shift-wise, so it isn’t the same employees day after
