1) - All drinks to be served at cost. Any sort of profit margin is a rip-off. The outlet should be run as a non-profit organisation, preferably importing cheaper booze directly.Originally Posted by Robert Taylor
2) - Free high-quality food should be supplied as part of the good standard of service.
3) - Free transport home (to anywhere in NZ), which should include free trailering of bikes, for those too legless to ride.
4) - For those too legless to stand, free 5-star accommodation should be available.

actually IMO if you geniuses want to run an allegory to the other thread, it should be more along the lines of:
"You say you want magazines & big screens everywhere - don't you know how much those cost, and will eat into our profit margin? We might not make a profit in our first month or two, particularly if we have to get resource consent to make the ladies loos bigger, wah wah wah.
Then a big explanation of what the mark up on beer & food is, along with projected turnover, and so on and so forth.
Oh we wanted attractive bar staff too - so you need to mention the going rate in hollywood for hired eye candy.
Oh yeah, the price of drinks in most NZ pubs is not double what you could expect to pay overseas, in fact often less.
Hope that helps.
Keep on chooglin'

It was on my account a mischievous post but given the slagging that many give the motorycle industry on this site ( much of it justified but much of it also not ) I just couldnt resist it!!!1) - All drinks to be served at cost.

its funny how past events stick in your mind and in your gullet. I can well recall being in a pub on a Friday night ( rare for me ) and I saw one of our customers having a grand old time, buying lots of beer over the bar, at bar prices.
Lo and behold that same customer came into our shop on the Monday morning and wanted a price on a tyre. He grizzled about the price of the tyre and also wanted extended credit on it. To which my business partner retorted you didnt grizzle about the price of beer on Friday night and I dont think you get credit at a pub.
I think theres a little bit of a message in that.

The things I have been considering would make for a good biker spot are (apart from stuff that has already been mentioned here like sealed parking, bands, beer etc):
- Secure storage for bike. If I was to get too drunk to ride and took a Taxi home, I would love to be able to do so in the knowledge that my girl is where I left her.
- Baby sitting service. That's right! A place where you could go with your lady and the kids, have something to eat, have some time together, then be able to leave the kids in a secure childcare/crache where the kiddies would be looked after while you would party on.
- Late night good food! I am talking 3am stuff here!
- Suppliers/shops could run their thingy there. The pub would still be open for normal business with the added attraction.
- Themes. So that something would be the focus. This would change making it interesting to go there.
- Changing rooms for bikers where they could get out of their road/wet gear. And as already mentioned; Place to dry it out!
- Basic workshop for DIY'ers. You have ridden a long way and your bike has developed a problem that you can fix. But you need a place better than the roadside to fix it.
- Sale of petrol and oil.
- Memorabilia: T-shirts etc.

Get The Farm to open a bar & grill. Brilliant road to ride for tarmac riders & great trails for the knobblie's. (So I hear).
The instructions are simple...
Boots'N'Braces in Woodville exists solely for bikers. Utterly brilliant, although parking is limited. I seldom pass without stopping in, yet there's seldom a crowd there. Maybe it was Murray?? He's 'on holiday' ATM, so maybe whoever is running it now will make some changes?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

brilliant idea, i suggest ad an MX track in there, perhaps a second storey balcony overlooking it. Pretty much in agreement with everthing else said on here, especially headbangers, and exempting Roberts BS.

Perhaps some poles set into the floor would be better? Secure the legless biker to the pole so he/she can continue drinking.
The casino has these, but they refer to them as "pokies"...

Because we are happy with the availability and how the price compares to similar purchases in other markets.
There is a message in there for ya.

the rangiriri pub and hotel is biker friendly.
Its about 10 mins before huntly if your heading south, on your left. A big ass 100 year old white building.
If you are in time for lunch, then go for the rango burger, its a monster.
If its dinner, (which I recommend), then you must either have the ribs, or the lamb shanks. And the desserts are really big and yummy too.
Its a lot of meal for a little coin.
Ive lived in sth auckland, north shore, $10 tauranga, te puke and now in nth waikato, and its easily the best eatery ive been to.

You no longer wanted his custom?
Well then, You won't complain when he buys elsewhere, like overseas where they probably wouldn't be retarded enough to spy on customers and then try and humiliate them with the info.

Perhaps they could take it to their local pub, and swap it for a cold one (free of charge)?
