As many of you know I am a big fan of 'trivia'. I think bar owners and bartenders who know good trivia - really good trivia entice their customers to come back.
Its a fact, Customers who enter your bar, tavern or pub when you are working do not want to be burdened with 'problems' - your problems, your business's problems or the communities problems - they have problems of their own.
Customers who enter your bar come in to relax and have a good time. In other words they want to have fun and escape from their reality. So why not entertain them when they are in your bar? Entertain them with some really great trivia. Trivia they can enjoy and trivia they can relate to.
See if they know this one ... The first driven-in theater in the United States was opened in Camden, NJ. It was built by Richard Hollingshead.
To create his drive-in Mr. Hollingshead strung a sheet between two trees and mounted a project on the hood of his car.
Here is the kicker. Why did he create a drive in theater? Well he said his mother was the inspiration for his idea.
His mother was a very large woman who always felt uncomfortable sitting in the small seats found in movie theaters of the day. By showing his movie outside his mother could sit in the front seat of his car and enjoy the movie.
