  • Re: Innkeeper couple available now!

    Dannyjo, Your B&amp;B sounds like the kind of place we're looking for.&nbsp; Please email me (becrumbled@yahoo.com) so that we can further discuss the opportunity you have available.&nbsp; Although we have been looking in the Northeast, the Gulf Coast of Mississippi is definitely very appealing to us.&nbsp; I look forward to hearing from ...

  • Re: Flying Couple

    Try doing a google search and then emailing lodges in Alaska.&nbsp; They're pretty much all hiring right now for the summer season.&nbsp; I know the Royal Wolf Lodge in Katmai National Park was looking for a pilot and housekeeper recently.&nbsp; Good luck!

  • Re: Credit card processing system??

    Again, I must mention that I am seeking a position with a B&amp;B and my experience is in retail ownership and management.&nbsp; However, look for the lowest rates and keep in mind per card fees, per percentage fees, and monthly fees.&nbsp; I used to have a $10 minimum, which is technically against the rules.&nbsp; Discover called me on that and I ...

  • Re: B&B security Guests entrance

    Call it paranoia, but I will tell you what I look for in a B&amp;B and what I would provide for guests (and my own peace of mind).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I am absolutely not ok with the front door being open 24 hours.&nbsp; I think it is the innkeeper's duty to greet a guest at any time, but understand that things happen.&nbsp; In that case, or in the ...

  • Re: Health insurance for innkeepers

    MunroHouse, I'm sorry to hear about your wife:(&nbsp; My best advice is to find a good agent.&nbsp; I've mentioned before that I'm a former small business owner, though not in the B&amp;B industry.&nbsp; I don't even want to get started on my personal feelings on the industry...you will probably not have the number of employees to qualify for a ...

  • Re: B&B demographics

    Sandy gave some great resouces!&nbsp; You know, it never hurts to call and ask...sit down with a few innkeepers who have the clientele you aspire to have and find out about their customer base and who they are targeting.&nbsp; I have not written a business plan for an inn, though I have done so for a retail business and helped a friend write his ...

  • Re: Compensation Inquiry

    Probably not very much.&nbsp; 3-5 rooms with average occupancy isn't going to bring in a lot of revenue.&nbsp; Then there's likely a mortgage, plus other expenses like utilities, building upkeep, insurance, licensing, and advertising.&nbsp; The owner will want a cut of the little that is leftover...which doesn't leave much in the way of salary for ...
