A modest proposal --a question really - General Tiki

One of the best ways to determine this is to find existing bar/restaurants that are doing more business than they deserve to be doing. The quality/value quotient offered must compete at a level that creates no barriers to guest acceptance. I have come to believe that the theme needs to be one that has culture that communicates passion. Can a tiki bar fit these parameters? You bet. But my point is that the need needs to be there first, then and only then, will the vision of the ownership have a chance at success. Too many get this backwards.
