If you are sure that this is your business, start implementing plans to open it. It is necessary to find a room where your service will be in demand. We recommend to consider the option of renting a square in a shopping center or entertainment complex. This is the most suitable place.
Rent a separate room is too troublesome and unprofitable. For the children’s playroom is enough 40-50 square meters. m., although there are also more capacious specimens. You can also settle in the recreation parks, but there is great competition for children’s entertainment, and people prefer to visit these places for family holidays with children, and not leave them in the care of others.
The first question, which the future businessman should answer, will not be «how to open a game room», but «will I enjoy doing it». This activity requires above all a loyal attitude towards children, because without this it will not be possible to purchase the necessary structures for entertainment, demanded toys, to recruit decent staff. All these components form the consumer’s confidence. People will trust you the most precious – their children, so everything should be done with love and understanding.
At initial costs, opening a gaming room refers to a medium-cost business level. Saving on repairs or toys does not make sense, the institution’s reputation may suffer and parents will not want to leave the kids in a squalid room with several typewriters and teddy bears. With average amounts per item of expenditure, the investments will be as follows:
- Rental of premises – 50 000 rubles.
- Repair and lighting – 40 000 rubles.
- Equipment and furniture – 500 000 rubles.
- The package of documents – 50 000 rubles.
- Advertising and a signboard – 30 000 rubles.
Total: 670 000 rubles.
Salaries of employees and taxes will be paid out of the proceeds, but it is worthwhile to postpone 50-100 thousand rubles in case of inadequate attendance in the first month of work. Note that the cost of equipment can be more, depending on the types and amount of rides and toys. The cost of rent can also vary, not only in different regions, but also in one city.
Advertising is necessary to make people know about your institution and start using its services. You will need a bright, large signboard. The walls of the hall or corridor should be made of plexiglas so that people passing by can see the children’s room from afar. This will also be evidence of openness. Adults will be more willing to trust their babies with the possibility of control from the outside. Also you need to hang a bright poster, banner or other kind of advertising in front of the entrance to the shopping center. It must necessarily display the floor and location, you can draw a plan, how to get to the room.
Step-by-step instruction
After the place is chosen, it is necessary to draw up all the documents and conclude a lease. Then you can start the most interesting – the arrangement and opening of a playroom for children. Her work will consist in the entertainment of children under 10 years old (the main age is 2-6 years), so the design can be chosen closer to kindergarten.
Repair of premises
The decoration of the children’s room should be bright and create a feeling of freshness and purity. Try to avoid too aggressive colors (red, orange), as well as cold scales (purple, blue). The best option is green color. Walls and carpeting should be monophonic or with small single or background images, because children’s toys and entertainment structures themselves have a bright color. To bring the room in order to paint enough or to cover the walls and lay a carpet on the floor, because shopping centers began to be built not so long ago and no major repairs are needed.
We purchase equipment
Here every businessman has a choice. Adaptations for the entertainment of children can buy a different number and the toys themselves can vary. However, if you are going to open a game room, you need to purchase the required minimum:
- Labyrinth. He is usually ordered on his own sketch. The size of this design should not be less than 15 square meters. m. He will take a decent part of the premises, as well as the amount of equipment costs.
- Inflatable or framed rubber trampoline . Kids love to jump, so this entertainment will have to them to taste.
- Inflatable dry pool filled with colorful balls. The diameter of the balls should not be too small, so that the child does not put it into his mouth.
- Board games. This kind of entertainment will appeal to older guys. This can be table hockey, football, lotto, «monopoly», etc.
- Rubber or plastic slide. If the space allows, buy both, so that children do not quarrel and do not push.
- Constructors . Most of all the kids are to the taste bright, colorful designer «Lego». Do not forget about the funny pyramids and plastic cars. Metal toys in connection with the traumatic danger of buying is not recommended.
- Soft toys . This is a mandatory attribute of the children’s room. They can be arranged in different zones. They will simultaneously occupy the children, and decorate the room.
- Pencils, paints, markers, albums, coloring pages. If an employee is able to deal with only one child, then the child can give paint or markers. If the child will be engaged in drawing independently, it is recommended to do with pencils so as not to hand over to the parents a smashed child later.
- Children’s furniture and adults. For babies it is possible to put a children’s plastic table and chairs, an adult – a comfortable sofa or chair and table or stand for the cash register. Also, you need to buy a few boxes for children and adult clothing. The floor must be covered with carpet, carpet or carpet.
Regardless of the size of the room and the budget of the project, it must be remembered that toys and furniture of questionable quality are unacceptable. Let them be less, but on the cheap or second-hand, these items of furniture can not be bought. Before buying, you should always require a certificate of quality. To avoid problems with SES and other authorities, take from the seller a copy or original for each of the goods.
We recruit staff
At your enterprise, 4 people will have to work as a tutor and one will be needed to clean the premises. If the room will be located on the territory of the TC or TC, you can use the services of staff cleaners. Employees must have sanitation books and training in working with children. A diploma of pedagogical or any other education is not required, but employees must have the skills to communicate with children. Usually such places are taken by students of pedagogical institutes, former teachers and kindergarten teachers. They must have elementary pedagogical education, responsibility and preferably experience working with children.
The schedule of work of educators 2 through 2. It is necessary to work together because it is required not only to look after children, but also to take money from parents and agree on the time of the child’s stay in the room. In the most visited hours of the institution of kids can gather up to 20 people. With so many tombsters, one teacher can not cope.

Documentation
It is not easy to open a children’s room in terms of documentation, because business is connected with children. It will take a lot of certificates and permits:
- Registration of business in the tax authority as an IP or LLC. Usually, children’s rooms are registered as individual entrepreneurship.

In case of difficulties with accounting, you can hire an incoming accountant or use the services of outsourcing consulting companies.

Is it profitable to open
By rationality, this business can be attributed to the average level. There will be no huge income here. As in other activities there is a risk of going bankrupt. But here it is possible to vary the cost of services depending on the hours of work. For example, from 9 to 16 hours on weekdays visitors will be few, so the cost of staying a child can be set at 60-70 rubles per hour. Payment for the evening hours, which account for the bulk of visits, you can raise to 100-150 rubles. On holidays and weekends, you can take more, up to 180-200 rubles per hour.
Thus, with an average attendance of 40-50 children per day, the income will be approximately 150,000 rubles per month plus mark-ups for visiting at the weekend.
The costs consist of taxes, rent and pay for employees and amount to approximately 90-100 thousand rubles per month. We receive a profit of 70-100 thousand rubles a month . This business is not particularly profitable, but it can be attributed to the stable category, since, having consolidated in a new place and earning a good reputation, you can acquire a permanent clientele. Also it is necessary to take into account the advisory oral advertising.
Parents who are accustomed to leaving children in your playing room for 2-3 hours, necessarily share it with their friends, who may also decide to take advantage of your services.
