The private dining model for the Lakes Region would require some creative thinking. Initiation fee, annual dues and minimum food and beverage spending on a monthly basis. Perhaps utilize an Employee Stock Ownership Program, and payment of above average wages to ensure loyalty and longevity. It’s obviously not for everyone, but I suspect there are enough people around that would enjoy this type of club, and would not be concerned with the cost. Just guarantee me a table, an extraordinary meal with like-minded members, and life would be good.
