Airbnb, Booking.com, & Family Opportunity
As the world continues to evolve and change, it's important to think about new and innovative business ideas that can adapt to the current market. One idea that could be particularly promising is incorporating a home-based business into an Airbnb location.
Imagine having a house that is available for tourists and people working away from home to rent, but also utilizing the garage space as a mini-warehouse for an ice cream company. Because Cushman Scooters have a smaller footprint, you can fill a garage with about 4 Cushman-style scooters and some chest freezers. This mini-warehouse could store approximately 4 scooters, as well as a larger van-style vehicle, and would not only provide a more convenient depot location for vendors, but also allow for better and more consistent service for the people living in nearby neighborhoods, thus creating customer loyalty and making it difficult for competitors to enter those areas.
Investing in property is also a smart move, as it can increase in value over time and create wealth. Even though cash flow is important, it's also worth considering long-term investments such as property. Kaleidoscope Ice Cream currently has enough bending equipment for two (Airbnb) locations, and this could potentially be expanded to 3 locations because we have additional cooler boxes which is the most important part of the Cushman modification in order to convert them into ice little ice cream trucks.
Additionally, incorporating an Airbnb location for your home-based business can also provide an additional source of income through bookings. Renting out the house portion of the property can bring in extra revenue to help fund and grow the business.
As the owner of Kaleidoscope Ice Cream, I believe that this business model has the potential to be a lucrative opportunity for families or investors looking to start a new venture. With ten ice cream vending units already established, we have the equipment and experience necessary to expand into the rental property market.
By purchasing two houses and utilizing them as Airbnb rentals, we can create a stream of passive income to offset the initial investment. Furthermore, the garage space can be used as a mini-warehouse for our ice cream vending business, allowing for easy access to our equipment and supplies.
The ice cream vending units can be divided into smaller fleets of 4-5 units and stored in the garages of the rental properties. By placing one fleet in the north and one in the south of town, we can create consistent and convenient service for nearby neighborhoods, thus creating customer loyalty and making it difficult for competitors to enter those areas.
Investing in property can also provide long-term benefits as property values increase over time. Additionally, the income generated from the Airbnb rentals can be used to fund and grow the business. For those interested in partnering with us, we are open to exploring a franchise model where the partner can help run the business and manage the rental properties.
In conclusion, Kaleidoscope Ice Cream offers a unique and innovative business model that combines both rental properties and a successful ice cream vending business. With the potential to create multiple streams of income and long-term wealth, this opportunity is worth considering.
