Introduction

Club IT is a night club that was the dream of Ruben Keys and Lisa Tejada. They both worked their way through school, both obtaining a degree in Business Administration, by working as musicians. Working as musicians, Lisa playing jazz violin and Ruben on drums, they have learned a lot about nightclubs along the way and how they operate along with business principles from their college experience. They have acquired a space that is 6,000 square feet complete with a dance floor that is 600 square feet, enough seating for 220 guests along with space for a bar and a kitchen that is equipped to make bar food and short orders. The owners have just completed a remodel to the interior of the club, including vaulting ceilings and better lighting to add to the ambience of the club (Wiley, n.a.).
