Alcohol sales are big money.  A typical franchise restaurant like Applebees or Outback will make the same net sales at the bar as they do in food;  Way lower overhead, especially for labor.  But will the students want to frequent something like that?  I think the concern from the university is how many altercations are there at 2am.

With rent likely being high, the 50 days a year that there are events probably isn't enough to keep a big place afloat.  It needs to be busy at least 150 to survive.  Chucks survived in the old Sutters location by drastically cutting expenses.  Like a cleaning crew.  :confused:

Parking will always be a challenge in getting customers outside of the student on-campus population.

Hooters always was going to fail at destiny because many people didn't want to be seen patronizing it.  They did better at stand-alone locations.  My sister in law has a serious hatred for the place, maybe because her husband would try the "but they have great wings" argument.

Surprisingly Destiny has turned into a hotspot for the under 30 crowd on weekends.  My son works there (furloughed right now) and says the crowds of people in club clothes are big.  Mostly going to the upscale restaurants for late dinner and/or drinks.  So maybe it would work at SU.
