You can make hundreds of dollars a day doing simple repairs to restaurant seating with just a few hand tools.

Yes, that's right, hundreds of dollars a day or more. Thousand dollar plus days are not unheard of.

Here's what other buyers are saying...

Devetters@msn.com...

"Marv, Well what can I say but W O W ! we have been averaging the last 2 days of $90.00 per hr. So if anyone wants to know if this works all I can say is yes. The hardest part of the whole job was trying to figure out how to get the backs off the booth. They were screwed, glued to the walls. Once we found they used very small sq.drive screws the rest was a piece of cake. No sewing just wrap, staple go to the bank. what a deal.. Thanks again Marv for all your help. Craig"

"Hey! Great show! Can I quote you?" I asked.

"Yes you can quote me. I have never ever made this kind of money in my life and to have the freedom of when I want to work, well what more could you ask for. By the way just received my LS1 sewing machine from Sailrite. It really is a good buy. I'll be putting it to the real test shortly. Thanks again. Craig"

And then a few days later he reports...

"Just a note to say we just finished the local Red lobster. I had to work a total of 12 hrs. The job will finish out just under $800.00 By the way the Sailrite Ultrafeed worked great. If I had to buy another I would add the upgrade kit with the monster wheel, light and speed controller.

I am waiting for a call from a company to do all their restaurant seating repairs and reupholstery. Thanks again Marv for your help.. Craig

Another buyer, Paul W. Cody, Pleasantville, New Jersey graciously allows me to quote the following...

"I just got home from work and had a pleasant surprise. Got your CD it was so informative, I enjoyed it very much, like you said it's not rocket science, but looks like a fun challenge. And I am up to it. I have been doing my own chairs for years, but never thought about going out to do it as a job. Thanks Again Marv."

And from yet another buyer in Colorado...

Well, my wife and I will be doing about $3000 worth of booth recovering soon on our second phone call from the first mailing!

We got back about six undeliverable pieces from our first mailing (160 pieces) so my wife (what a woman!) immediately mailed out six new ones to compensate. Next day--bam, a call from a local Mexican restaurant. He wants 22 booths recovered!

As I'm talking to him, I find out that so far he could only find a non-local company (100 miles away) that was willing to quote him. He's afraid of how much it will be. When we showed up he said we were 100 times ahead of our competition JUST BECAUSE WE SHOWED UP WHEN WE SAID WE WOULD! I thought that was just normal business. Either call or show up!

From our first job which was our third phone call from the first mailing, we did a single smooth fabric back on a booth for $80. The maintenance supervisor of the hotel/restaruant is now getting approval for $400 worth of vinyl repair.

The interesting story is that the hotel franchise inspection team (Best Western) had written up the hotel for a hole in that seat. The mailing showed up in the boss' mail box the next day. He called us, we went and conquered (whew!, the first one, that's always tough). When I went to turn in the invoice he tells me that the franchise president had come by to "look around" and noticed the hole was gone. One thing led to another and the maintenance supervisor got an "atta boy" and we got more work coming. Cool.

Well, for those of you who wonder it this deal works, it does. We are ready to rock and roll!!

Thanks, Marv

It doesn't matter whether you are male or female. If you are even slightly handy you can easily make hundreds of dollars a day fixing those holes, cuts and tears you see in the seating of pretty much any place that uses vinyl seating.

That's right, hundreds of dollars a day and more doing simple restaurant seating repairs.

Restaurant seating repair is a surprisingly easy business that requires little learning time, low investment to return start-up costs. Restaurant seating repair allows you to be your own boss while returning a very nice income, part-time or full time, as you build a business that can be sold later.

I know that you have been in restaurants that have tears, holes and rips in the seating. I know that you have seen duct tape stuck to them in an attempt to keep the damage from getting any worse. Sometimes there seems to be more duct tape than seating material.

That damage is unsightly and makes people wonder what the kitchen is like if the seating is in such bad shape. Damaged seating causes customers to order less and return less.

Any restaurant worth its salt wants damaged seating repaired.

Repairing a damaged seat is very simple and takes about a half hour.

• Remove the damaged cover (a simple matter of removing the staples).
  
• Slip the new cover over the stripped seat.
  
• Staple the new cover to the bottom of the seat.
  

And for this you charge whatever the traffic will bear.

I charge $80 per seat. One of my brothers charges "according to the price of their hamburgers." The more they charge for hamburgers, figuratively speaking, the more he charges to fix a seat, any where from $55 to $120.

And that's pretty much all profit. You do 10 or more of those a few times a week and it quickly adds up to good money.

(Click on pic to see larger image in new window.) As I write this (2003) I am in the process of doing 96 booth seats for a large Red Lobster Restaurant. I am charging them $55 rather than my usual $85 (2003 prices) a seat because they supply their own material. The manager bought 24 brand new booth seats to replace some damaged ones he had and then he called me to see if I could fix the old ones. I take the extras home to work on in my leisure and then take them back to swap out for more. I'm on my second load and there at least are two more loads yet to do. That's $5280 for a little over two weeks' total work.

That's good money. People wonder why I never seem to work.

I work. I just work smart. I don't have a job, I have a nice little business that provides a needed service to the hospitality industry.

For nearly 40 years I, my two brothers and my late father, have made very good money repairing restaurant seating. The Restaurant Seating Repair Business has been the Walker family's little cash machine. I call the Restaurant Seating Repair Business my Genie In A Bottle - I rub it whenever I need money.

Here's the scoop on this wonderful little business that pretty much anyone who can chew gum and walk at the same time can do...

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Needed:

If an establishment has upholstered furniture (and for our purposes "upholstered" means anything that has vinyl or fabric on it) IT WILL NEED REPAIRING AT SOME POINT no ands, ifs, or buts. But don't take my word for it, anyone hoping to interest you in their business would tell you there is a need for that business. Go look for yourself. Fixtures in bad need of work will be easy to find. Heck, I'm sure you pretty much have already seen torn up seating, it's everywhere.

(Click on pic to see larger image in new window.) This picture shows a complete seating section. Most restaurant seating repair work involves just doing the seat part (where your butt goes). Very little of the work involves total reworking of the entire section. When you look at this seating section, the thought of reworking it is a little overwhelming for someone who has no idea what they are doing.

But that isn't any problem because...

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Easy To Learn:

(Click on pic to see larger image in new window.) Here is what the seating section you just looked at looks like when finished. The seating section breaks down into easy-to-deal-with parts: base frame, booth seat, back, decorative panels. You recover, or repair, the individual parts and then reassemble them. If you were to see it done, you'd slap your forehead at how straight forward it is.

There are only about half a dozen different kinds of seating fixtures in use in the hospitality industry and most of them vary in only how the fixture looks. They all follow very similar construction, You tear one booth seat apart and put it back together again the chances are very good that you'll be able to do the same with any of the other styles. And most fixtures will require only minimal tearing apart. Rarely do you have to do a lot of work to repair any fixture.

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Easy To Do:

Most of the work you can do with less than a $100 worth of hand tools. There are some extra tools that allow you to work faster and easier, but the small amount of tools you really need to do the work will fit in an easily carried tool box.

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Very Profitable:

The material costs to do the work are minimal. You have little overhead. You need no shop, no business phone, no advertising, you can literally operate out of your house.

Like any business that depends on you, the yearly Restaurant Seating Repairer's income varies depending on the effort you put into it and how you go about it. $800 - $1000 days are common.

Remember this pic a few lines back? I did 34 of them at $215, plus some other little doo-dads the client wanted, in 10 mostly under 8 hour days. I billed $7310 for the booth sections alone.

My brothers and I joke amongst ourselves and say that if we put in regular 8 hour days actually doing the business, we'd really make money. I do not recall working all that many full 40 hour weeks in the repair business in nearly 40 years. We like to do other things too much (hunting, fishing, horses). Luckily, this business allows us the freedom to do them.

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Very Portable:

It is a business that you can do anywhere there are restaurants, motels, hotels or other places that use high volume seating. The business can be literally moved to some place else in the length of time it takes you to get there and you can be working in a few days.

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Very Flexible:

If you're tired of living your life around your work, restaurant seating repair is a business that works around your life. You choose when and where you want to work. Restaurant seating repair allows you the freedom to do other things.

You can tailor your business to fit your time and effort. If all you want to offer is fixing booth seats, you can do that. If you want to do what my brothers and I do, you can offer full repair service - if it involves commercial seating and it needs fixing, we can do it - which increases your profits even more. You can even buy replaced seating for next to nothing and resell it to other stores (we call restaurants "stores" in the biz) who want to upgrade.

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Repeat Business:

The beauty of the seating repair business is that as soon as you finish the job the customers and wait staff start tearing it back up. Most of your customers will call you back time and time again.

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is Word Of Mouth Business:

Very often when you do work for one of a group of stores, the managers pass your name onto other stores in the group. I do a number of restaurants where I was referred by managers of other stores I'd worked for.

The Restaurant Seating Repair Business Is A Family Business:

The entire family can be involved in the Restaurant Seating Repair Business. Your spouse and or the older children can go on jobs, safely solicit jobs without ever coming into contact with anyone or leaving your house. When you send your son or daughter off to college, you can send a tool box along with them and they can earn extra money with their own part-time business.

My family has been in the seating repair business since the early 70s. There are restaurants where one Walker or another has maintained the seating for nearly 40 years. The seating repair business has been incredibly nice to us. The seating repair business *IS* the Walker family business.

The seating repair business is surprisingly easy. Most folks can learn all they need to know to get going in a couple of days. My late father, my brothers and I learned the mechanics of it in about 20 minutes. (Of course we were already residential upholsterers at the time. Residential upholsterers are VERY, VERY, VERY over-qualified restaurant seating repairers and we had a lot to unlearn.) It took a little longer to get the day to day business aspects down - soliciting business, estimating jobs, scheduling the work - but we quickly picked that up too. (And now nearly 40 years, we have fine tuned that stuff as well.)

And with my help you too can quickly pick it up. You can be on your way to thousands of dollars in a week or two.

I have put together a step by step Restaurant Seating Repair System that contains everything you need to know to start and run a highly successful Restaurant Seating Repair Business.

My Restaurant Seating Repair System will walk you through anything you need to know with clear step by steps and illustrations. You can start repairing as soon as you get your System. My Restaurant Seating Repair System will show you from beginning to end how to go into any restaurant that needs repair service and do the work.

The minimum start-up tool investment, depending on the level of service you wish to provide your clients, ranges from $60-$700 (many people already have most of the tools they need). If you are really budget crunched, you can buy your tools on an "as needed" basis as you go along but it will take you a little longer to really get rolling. The tools needed to repair the seating can be carried around in the trunk of most cars. My brothers and I carry all they need in their cars. It is a rare job where you'll actually need anything bigger.

Most recovering jobs you can do with just a scratch awl ($6), a pair of diagonal cutters ($9-$12) and an electric stapler ($39). They can be done in a half hour or so and you can charge $55-$80 or more each for them. If you get a job needing 10 booth seat recovers, that's $550-$800 or more (less $100 or so material costs) for one day's work.

If you offer vinyl repair services, you can increase your profits even more. Vinyl repair involves ACTUALLY filling in the damaged areas with liquid vinyl. The Restaurant Seating Repair System also shows you when and how to use vinyl repair to double and triple your profits.

A huge part of our business is vinyl repair. That is where the real profit is. We go into a restaurant and repair the serious damage in the seats and backs. Vinyl repair is incredibly profitable in that about $16 dollars in vinyl repair materials will quite often do several thousand dollars worth of work.

As I said before, the beauty of it is that as soon as you finish a place the customers and the wait staff start tearing it up all over again. The repeat business is fantastic.

Most repair jobs can be done in a few hours and what you make depends on a number of factors such as the amount of damage needing repair and what you are able to get the restaurant manager to pay to fix that damage. I personally target about $100 an hour. I go in, look the job over, estimate how long it will take me to do the job (after a few jobs you can come pretty close just by walking through the establishment) and multiply that by $100 and that's the estimate. If I'm snowed under and have a backlog, I'll target closer to $150. If I don't get the work it doesn't matter, since I'm busy anyway, if I do get the work, I come out ahead.

• Restaurant seating repair is a very profitable business. It is not uncommon to do over $2000 worth of repairs with one $16 jar of repair compound. If you do a booth seat recover the material runs around $12 a seat and you charge whatever you think the traffic will bear. My charge for a straight 4-top seat is $80. (4-top and many other terms are covered in the Restaurant Seating Repair System)

• Restaurant seating repair is repeat business. Hospitality guests and staff continually damage the seating. There are a number of establishments where one Walker or another has been maintaining their seating for nearly 40 years.

• Restaurant seating repair can be full-time, part time. You can work when you want to work. You can work as much or as little as you want.

• Restaurant seating repair is surprisingly simple. Pretty much anyone who can chew gum and walk at the same time can quickly learn to do any part of it with the Restaurant Seating Repair System at their side.

• Restaurant seating repair can be a "family" business. At one time or another all the Walker women and older children have worked the repair business.

• All the equipment needed for restaurant seating repair will easily fit in the trunk of most cars.

• Restaurant seating repair is an extremely portable business. You can move any place where there are restaurants or other establishments with vinyl seating and be doing jobs within a couple of days.

As I said earlier, vinyl repair, actually repairing the damage with vinyl repair compounds and colors can tremendously increase your profits if you choose to offer it. (The Restaurant Seating Repair System will show you everything you need to know for this as well.)

Us Walkers were incredibly fortunate to have a mentor to show us the restaurant seating / vinyl repair ropes. Earl Berg was a vinyl repairer and our residential upholstery shop's only regular customer. Earl would repair a seat until it was just not repairable any more and rather than have someone else replace the cover, he did it himself and we sold him material and did whatever sewing he needed done. To make a long story short, Earl "tricked" us into closing our upholstery shop and going into restaurant seating repair after we had scoffed at the idea for months.

You see, at the time Earl charged customers $20 to $30 to repair a $2 piece of vinyl. Being upholsterers, it seemed foolish to us for someone to pay 10 to 20 times what the material cost to fix it. We just couldn't see how Earl was able to get away with it. We also doubted that there enough foolish people in the world to be able to make any money at it.

He "hired" my dad, my brother Rodney and I to help him out for very generous wages on a repair job one evening. The job was finished in 3 hours and as we sat in a truck stop chowing down afterwards he showed us his invoice for the job, what his expenses were and his profit. He made more money in one evening repairing seating than we did in a whole week of doing sofas.

It suddenly dawned on us that Earl wasn't charging people $20 to $30 to fix $2 pieces of vinyl. He was charging people to repair their entire seating arrangement at $20 to $30 a seat.

We ordered our vinyl repair equipment the next morning, we already had everything else we needed. That day we stopped being upholsterers and became restaurant seating repairers.

If it had not been for Earl Berg, teaching us the ropes, who knows what we would have be doing today. We would not be doing restaurant seating repair all these years later even if we had stumbled on restaurant seating repairing without him. All us Walkers are incredibly grateful that Earl was, and still is even after his passing, a part of our lives.

In fact, the Restaurant Seating Repair System is loaded with Earl Berg seating repair business wisdom. Wisdom that has stood the test of time in my late father's restaurant seating repair business, my brother Rodney's restaurant seating repair business, my brother Dale's restaurant seating repair business and my restaurant seating repair business

We benefited from Earl's experience and he guided us past many things that I now know would have brought us to a skidding halt or at the very least would have cost us a lot of time, money and frustration.

For example, one of the things he said was to stay away from cars, boats, and residential vinyl. There are too many variables between jobs, the jobs are usually small (thus paying less) and they took as much time to set up and do as a big job.

If you shop for vinyl repair equipment and seating repair training, you will see their main emphasis is on car dash boards, car seats and arm rests. You will really have to scramble vinyl repairing in car lots to make anything worthwhile and the earnings per job don't hold a candle to the earnings per job repairing in a restaurant or conference room.

Most of the vinyl repair systems offered today are too involved to use easily. Forget anything you see on TV, it flat doesn't make the grade. Forget the stuff you see in "opportunity mags," or advertised by companies who teach everything from veterinary assistant to bookkeeper, you can get better and simpler for much less. In vinyl repair, the system is everything. If you do not have a trustworthy repair system you'll soon be out of business, your nerves won't stand it and the customers won't be having you back.

That's if you offer vinyl repair as a part of your service, and the Restaurant Seating Repair System will show you why you almost certainly want to include this service as well and where to find the right repair system.

If you are looking for a nice little cash machine business that you can work on your own terms, consider restaurant seating repair.

It sure has worked for us.

I can be your Earl Berg. I can show you what to do and why and what not to do and why. I can help you become profitable in far less time than it would take you on your own. Because my father before he retired, my two brothers and I all have seating repair businesses I have the benefit of the experiences of four long-time seating repair businesses (five, if you count Earl Berg's since he freely shared his experience with us). If there is anything about seating repair that I don't know, chances are, one of my family knows the answer.

The detailed how-to restaurant seating repair information in the Restaurant Seating Repair System contains everything you need to know to have you up and running in the restaurant seating repair business within a week or two.

I was talking with my brothers and telling them about this offer and my workshop fees. They told me that I wasn't charging near enough. Rodney said that a business usually goes for one year's gross which puts ours many times the $2277 I'm charging for the workshops where I teach the hands-on business ins and outs. I reminded him I wasn't selling *my* business, just the secrets of it. He told me I still wasn't charging enough for those secrets.

Bottom line...

Your first job can return your start-up costs to you and much more.

These "secrets" will show you how to quickly get your own profitable restaurant seating repair business up and running. The System is the $2277 Restaurant Seating Repair workshop without the hands-on.
