Hey all
I'm thinking of putting a game on location locally to me and have a potential site lined up. I've never done this before and wanted to know if anyone here has any tips. I'm not sure if I should use one of my existing older machines, which will likely require faffing around with to accept payments and make reliable, or get a modern-ish Stern for reliability.
For ease of payment I'm assuming you can get contactless card acceptors these days?! Does anyone have any advice for that? I don't think the site deals much in cash and I wouldn't want to have to set up a change machine.
Does anyone have any idea of a starting point for splitting the income? In the US I've heard 50/50 with the location owner is quite common, but not sure about in the UK. My reason for doing it is nothing other than I think it would be cool to increase visibility of the game and get a well maintained machine out for the public to use when there aren't many around, so I'm not too worried about making a profit, but ideally I'd like to cover costs. The site isn't far from me so transport is negligible, it's more depreciation/wear and tear on the machine to cover I guess, along with (I assume) some kind of public liability insurance.
Any thoughts or pointers appreciated!
