I have read a few detailed posts written by Audrey on couple of threads in customer conversation section. These posts quite accurately depict the frustration and helplessness that is felt by many strippers. These frustrations often find an outlet through rude behavior directed towards a PL.
I am convinced that the strip clubs are being managed in an unprofessional manner. I did not want to hijack Audrey’s thread so I decided to start a new thread to discuss this topic.
In order to keep the discussion focused, we are going to make one vital assumption:
PLs are angels and they can do no harm.
I know the above assumption will cause some heartburn, especially in certain quarters. So let me explain the reason behind it; PLs can be forced to comply with any regulation set forth by the management. So, it is pointless to discuss PLs as actors in this domain.
In this domain there are two actors; principals of the club and professional strippers who are contracted to work at the club. Both of these actors have financial interest in the domain (strip club).
I would like to create a model, which can be used to build an ideal strip club. Before we start building the model, let us give it a name. Let us call it “Dream Girls”.
Let us define the criteria that will make Dream Girls an ideal strip club. An ideal strip club will have to meet at least three requirements, which I am going to lay out shortly. We will call it three pillars of strip clubs:
1. Profitability: Dream Girls venture has to be a profitable one with prolonged sustainability
2. Happy Strippers: Stripers that work at Dream Girls will have to be happy professionals
3. Big Crowd: PLs love Dream Girls and dart towards it after their work is over
1. Profitability: The principals will have to identify all sources of income and make sure that they are exploited to further the interest of the club. These sources include:
a. Cover charges
b. Marked up prices for drinks
c. Equitable distribution of tips generated by strippers
This will ensure that club remains profitable. Keep in mind if there is no club then there will be no place for strippers to dance.
2. Happy Strippers: It seems like under current scheme of things they are getting short end of the stick. Their interests are not adequately protected. This leads to creation of an unhappy stripper who finds satisfaction in knocking down a PL’s drink. Frankly speaking, this kind of situation is not good for anyone and must be avoided at all cost. Let us create an atmosphere in Dream Girls, which will create happy strippers by laying down few rules:
a. All gentlemen sitting in the front row must tip at least one dollar per song
b. Touching or groping strippers must not be allowed. This should be a ground for an immediate expulsion from the Dream Girls
c. Lap dancing will not be allowed because this demeans strippers and downgrades them to a stature of prostitute but private Air Dancing or purchase of Block of Time will be allowed
d. Strippers should be given an equitable share of the revenue generated by cover charges and drink sales just like the club will be given an equitable share of revenue generated by tips to strippers
e. All contracts between strippers and Dream Girls will be in writing
f. A professional dressing room will be provided for dancers where they can enjoy their breaks, do their makeups, etc. Each dancer will have her own cubicle equipped with mirror and comfortable chair. The dressing room will have clean bathroom
g. Security personnel will be given clear direction to make sure that dancers are safe at all times
(Ladies feel free to add any criteria that I may have missed.)
3. Big Crowd: If PLs are treated nicely then they will flock in large number bringing in valuable revenue for the club and strippers. So, let us lay down some ground rules on how PLs should be treated in Dream Girls:
a. A stripper must never be allowed to knock down a PL’s drink. This shall constitute a ground for termination of her contract with Dream Girls
b. A PL must not grope or touch a dancer. He shall not engage in any obscene activity at the premises
c. He must tip at least one dollar per song if he is sitting in the front row
d. He must pay his cover charges
e. He must buy drink(s) for the dancer he is sitting with

To avoid the unnecessary clutter, let us make one more assumption:
Construction of Dream Girls was a success. Building has been furnished, parking lot is ready and limousine port is ready. I will go ahead and add one more feature – helipad, in case truly important decided to become PLs of Dream Girls. Dream Girls has an outstanding restaurant and several well-supplied bars (just like you would see in large night clubs). It has an outstanding dressing room for the dancers. If you have any questions regarding further details, please feel free to ask me, I will be more than happy to answer your questions regarding interior design of Dream Girls. We have hired all the support staffs.
Now is the time to interview strippers. Dream Girls is accepting resumes from qualified candidates directly or through a recruiting company.
Management has decided that all races will be given equal preference at the Dream Girls.
It will be an important objective of Dream Girls to make sure that strippers are able to earn at least $500/night. There will be adequate training and guidelines provided so that strippers can excel at Dream Girls.
Required Qualifications / Skills:
- Must be intelligent and creative
- Good verbal communication skills

PLs, this is your golden opportunity to chime in with any attributes you would like to see in your stripper.

The hiring process has begun.

The hiring process is in progress.
In the mean time, allow me to disclose the fiscal target set forth by the management. Dream Girls aims to generate $25,000/day from cover charges, liquor sales, air dances and block of time sales. This goal will be probationary in nature for the first quarter while it is being calibrated against the expenses. This goal will either increase or decrease for the second quarter based on the analysis during the first quarter.
Management is formulating a strategy, which will allow Dream Girls to meet its fiscal goals.

Revenue Sharing Formula:
1. Cover Charges: Let us assume Jessica, Melanie and Mina worked the day shift (e.g. 09:00am to 05:00pm). If the club made $5K in cover charges during their shift then they will be given 25% of that revenue, which means each of them will get $416.66.
2. Liquor Sales: Let us assume Jessica is directly responsible for sale of liquor in the amount $500.00 during her shift then she will receive 25% of that revenue, which means she will receive $125.00.
3. Dances and Block of Air Time: If Melanie sells $500.00 worth of dances during her shift then she will receive 75% of that revenue, which means she will receive $375.00.
4. Stage Tips: Let us assume that Mina earned $300.00 in stage tips during her shift then she will receive 75% of that revenue, which means she will receive $225.00.

Anyhow, Dream Girls is delighted to inform you that we have wrapped up our hiring process for IC (exotic dancer) positions.
We have hired girls from all over the USA and some foreign countries such as Canada. We have girls who speak several languages. All ethnicities including black and oriental are fairly represented at Dream Girls. We have tried to accommodate everyone’s tastes and fantasies. So you will see girls who are blonde, redhead, brunette, tall, short, tattooed (lightly), black, oriental, educated, intelligent, uneducated (as long as they can verbally communicate in an effective manner), shy, aggressive (but respectful), dominant, submissive and much more at Dream Girls. We have stayed away from girls who were above certain weight (threshold) for the time being. Also, we have stayed away from girls with fake boobs. However, if there is a demand for such strippers in future, we will reconsider changing our business doctrine.
Now, management is busy planning the opening of Dream Girls.
