Chapter 9

After visiting my accountant, I went home and reluctantly explained the situation to the family. “I made a big mistake doing my taxes. I filled in deductions just like before, when I owned my old company. I didn’t realize you can only deduct certain things if you are running a business. They hit me with a big fine. I also need to use at least half the value of my investments to start a new business, or they’ll start taxing those, too. I hate to give you bad news, but I need to start a business soon. At least two of you will need to get jobs to help support the family, too.”

After quite a long discussion, two of my ladies had some remarkably bright ideas. My fantastically sexy wife Drina said, “We could start some kind of family business and take turns. That way nobody gets stuck working all week.” I agreed, “I like that idea. With seven adults, if the business needs four employees on duty, each of us would only have to work four days a week. I wonder what the best type of business would be, and where we should start it.”

Louisa jokingly suggested, “How about a strip club? Most of us are highly qualified. Hehehe!” That sparked an idea in my mind. “How about a bikini bar? You could all make money off your beauty, without having to be naked. I bet a bikini bar would do great in the financial district, near the middle of the city.”

My sexy step-daughter Carrie suggested, “How about a bikini vape bar? Seeing us wearing swimsuits and sucking on vapes should drive guys wild, especially after a few drinks.”

We did some research over the next weeks, and I was pleasantly surprised. Three of the girls wandered around downtown together conducting a poll. 84 percent of the men they asked, and roughly a quarter of the women, would like to visit a topless or bikini bar in that area. Many of them suggested we should sell food, so people could watch some pretty girls while they ate lunch.

I consulted my accountant, a lawyer, and several other experts as I put together a business plan. The most important concerns were the health regulations and the city and state’s ‘blue’ or morality laws. With a recent court decision allowing both men and women to go topless in public, the girls could wear nothing but shorts or panties and rake in huge tips, if they wanted. Louisa had learned about mixing vape juice flavors, which would be an additional revenue stream. For double what other restaurants in the area charged for lunch, our customers could get a drink, a sandwich, and a cheap vape pen with a sample of one of our many exclusive flavors. As the main attraction, they could stare at several scantily-dressed or topless ladies while they did.

Employees needed to be fully dressed while preparing food, so we decided on soups, salads, and sandwiches as our main offerings. The topless or swimsuit-clad bartenders and servers could take pre-made soups or salads with lids, and sandwiches wrapped in paper from the kitchen, and pass them to customers without any health concerns.
