I have a huge restaurant that is continuing to suffer due to COVID. I’m only seating half of it currently. Our sales are 1/3 of what they need to be due to limited hours and staffing and, frankly, less hours that guests want to dine with us at this time.I have a $20k/mo mortgage that I’m needing to cover. The restaurant isn’t producing enough again (yet), so I’m looking for a way to subsidize myself.My first thought is using a portion of the space for local “micro storage” —small scale portable boxes stacked on shelves with peoples contents inside, inventoried, and easily pulled for guests to add or remove on short notice. We’d pull the box and put it back for the guests so there’s no need for anything other than a controlled space, shelving, and a good filing system (archive style).I figure I can get anywhere from 25 bucks, 200 bucks per box per month depending on its size. Seems like a reasonable idea. Low labor to operate, I already have the space, I just need to buy boxes and shelving, and a year down the road if I wanna get rid of it I can just close it down and open up the space for dining again…Two questions for this great community:1) what could go wrong or be improved with this idea? 2) what’s a better idea? I have anywhere from 500 - 1500 sqft available to do this without much trouble.Located in the smack in the middle of a hip mid sized city with huge population of youth, dense housing, and plenty of outdoor enthusiasts.Any ideas, suggestions, or general thoughts would be much appreciated! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
