It doesn't matter whether you are male or female. If you are even slightly handy you can easily fix those holes, cuts and tears you see in the seating of pretty much any place that uses vinyl seating.
And make hundreds of dollars a day or more doing it.
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 come back less often.
Any restaurant worth its salt wants damaged seating repaired.
Repairing a damaged seat is very simple and takes about a half hour.
And for this you charge whatever the traffic will bear.
I charge $65 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. (NOTE: My prices have risen to $80 since I wrote this copy.)
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.

As I write this 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 $65 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 the past 35 years I, my two brothers and my late father, have made very good money repairing those seats. 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. 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.
That torn up seating means cash in your pocket.
(Click on pic to see larger image in new window.) This picture shows a complete seating section. Most of the 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 some 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 of 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 a full 40 hour week in the repair business in 30 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 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 similar 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 35 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 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 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've put everything you need to know to make $1,000s doing simple restaurant seating repairs on a secret-packed, illustration-loaded Restaurant Seating Repair Manual CD-Rom.
For a limited time I'm offering my secret-packed, illustration-loaded EM>Restaurant Seating Repair Manual CD-Rom for a VERY REASONABLE $49.95 plus $3 shipping.
This is an incredible offer.
There is no reason why you should not be able to take the information on the secret-packed, illustration-loaded EM>Restaurant Seating Repair Manual CD-Rom and begin making 5, 10 times that A DAY in a few days.
My Restaurant Seating Repair Manual CD-Rom 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 manual. My Restaurant Seating Repair Manual CD-Rom will show you beginning to end how to go into any restaurant that needs repair service and how to get 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.
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-$65 or more each for them. If you get a job needing 10 booth seat recovers, that's $550-$650 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 Manual also shows you when and how to use vinyl repair to double and triple your profits.
A huge part of mine and my brothers' businesses 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.
I show you how to present the potential client with a number of pricing levels that practically guarantee you'll get the work and a repeat customer.
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 Manual will show you everything you need to know for this as well.)
I've put everything you need to know to begin making really good money repairing restaurant seating together in the Restaurant Seating Repair Manual.

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...
