If we can just raise the revenue by 2030 , thats 200300,000 dollars. [chrissy] i used to design Flagship Stores for Luxury Brands like coach and guess. [erik] and i built airports, federal buildings, and projects on a massive scale. This is like straight out a horror movie, this is crazy. But while we were working for big companies, we realized we could join forces and use our expertise to improve profits of boutique businesses. This is the money maker. [erik] so after we got married, we started our own company, to boost entrepreneurs just like us. This will be the first restaurant in a hotel room. One, two, three. [all] boom [chrissy] but our clients cant afford to shut down for weeks on end. We can stay open right . [chrissy] so we use our skills to remake their brick and motors in just five days. You guys have been busy. That is bleep awesome [erik] and customers are walking through their doors by saturday. I can compete with the bigger guys now. [chrissy] i design it. No way, this is my salon . [chrissy] he builds it. [female] oh my gosh and owners benefit in ways they never thought possible. crying youre gonna make me cry. Aw [erik] tonight, our challenge is to boost the net. So it sounds easy. So lets do it. So no pressure. Of a small manhattan boutique hotel. Oh my gosh. Wow. This is amazing guys thats facing stiff competition, and stagnating room rates. We need to make a drastic transformation in that space. But can a single, off the wall idea. I need help with this because my brain stopped working. Transform hotel 3232. This is pure profit and revenue here. Into one of the most sought after reservations in town. No way. [erik] welcome to the five day biz fix. Heres what you need to know about the Hospitality Industry in manhattan. Its really, really competitive. There are over 450 hotels in the big apple and many are packed into an area thats just a few square miles in size, which makes owners reticent to raise room rates from year to year because the competition is so fierce. Of course, to improve their balance sheets, its helpful to have additional inhouse Revenue Streams beyond just room rentals. Nationally, hotels get 65 of their revenue from room bookings, the rest comes from other sources like restaurants and shops. But in manhattan, space is tight, and a lot of hotels lack the Square Footage for these ancillary revenue drivers. So, how can they hike their profits . By getting very creative, thats how. Which brings us to hotel 3232, which can be found just south of manhattans murray hill neighborhood. Room rentals are its only significant revenue driver. It only has 50 of them, ranging from 125 a night for the smallest ones to 500 for larger suites with balconies. And it averages about 3,000 guests a month, so occupancy is robust. However, there are five other Boutique Hotels very close by offering rooms at similar price points, so hotel 3232s owners arent willing to raise rates and lose business to the competition. [erik] but mark shemel and his gm, matt werner, might just have an outofthebox solution to upgrade their financial outlook. They want us to take one of their ordinary rooms and transform it into a highend sushi restaurant. Its a wild idea, which i love, but building a functional restaurant in a hotel room has never been done before. But just think about it, you dont need a full kitchen to make sushi. You just need refrigeration, a small workspace, and a bar. So maybe these guys are on to something after all. Yeah. upbeat music the first thing we need to do is see how practical this concept is because even hotel 3232s largest rooms are, well, tiny. This will be the first restaurant in a hotel room, which is awesome for you guys to say. I like the sound of that. Now youve just got to make it work. Im a little bit nervous about how construction, its gonna affect the guests. One little thing goes wrong and youre delayed, and youve got a construction site in a hotel room [chrissy] yeah. That could be generating revenue. So it sounds easy. So lets do it. So no pressure. This is our standard king room. Normally rents for about 250 a night. Its a little on the small side. First off the room is. Im gonna bet you its. Wait, wait, wait. 10 and three quarters. Outta my way. [erik] 11 two. I dont think this rooms gonna work. I think its got nice, natural light. Im just worried youre not gonna get enough seats in here. [mark] we do have other options. Well see if theres Something Else that we can fit more in. Lets go to the 10th floor. All right. 10th floor, ooh. Okay, nice. This is our 10th floor queen room. A lot of light. Pretty bright. Its a nice room. We went into the second room, and it was pretty much the same as the first one, but then i was like, erik, do you see what i see . Please tell me its private. Its exclusive to this room. Oh my god, thats amazing. Okay, now were talking. Lets take a look. Lets go. Total game changer. Oh my gosh. Wow, okay. This is amazing guys. The terrace is the jackpot. This is 500 square feet of outdoor space with an amazing view of the empire state building. This is amazing. Yeah. [chrissy] this is amazing. [erik] this is incredible, i mean its perfect. The terrace generates zero dollars right now. [chrissy] its the perfect spot for an outdoor cocktail lounge. This is an exclusive experience, and thats what you look for. Okay, lets go. Im getting rained on. But it wont mean anything if we cant turn the room into a sushi restaurant. Its a little narrow but as im seeing it, i think it could work in our favor. This is kind of amazing for the bar. It is. So then youre sitting here. [chrissy] thats kinda cool. [erik] youve got at least four seats. The good news is we have just enough space to work with. But whats really selling us n this concept is the restaurant only needs four seats to be profitable. How is this possible . Because the owners want to partner with david bouhadana, who already operates several popular sushi by bou restaurants in manhattan. Not only does chef david serve some of the finest sushi in the country, but he charges customers by the hour to eat it. 125 an hour, that is. So, with just four seats he can handle up to 20 customers in an evening, and our little room that currently goes for 500 a night can suddenly generate six times that amount, and thats not even counting the revenue from the terrace bar. It has good energy. As silly as that sounds, it does. It feels good in here. It has good energy, it has good light. Thats why were gonna take it . Its good energy, lets take it. Shes actually not kidding. Lets go take some measurements. [mark] all right, great. Wonderful. Where you at . [chrissy] its a scavenger hunt, you have to come find me. Okay, bye. [chrissy] before we finalize our design plan, im having erik meet me at blanca, a restaurant that i think will help inspire us. Where are you . Im at the tiki bar. What i love about blanca is that it offers incredible food in an unexpected place, hidden behind a pizza restaurant. Keep going, keep going. Just like a sushi restaurant in a hotel room, finding it is half the experience. Turn around. Turn around. Go through that door right there. Ah, blanca hello. Hello hello. I was about to send up smoke signals. Where have you been . Theres a tiki bar that i almost stopped at. So this space books up months in advance. Okay. I called a friend who works here, and she snuck us in before service. And we dont get to enjoy this . We dont, but it was very important to see it. There are so many similarities to sushi by bou. They have 13 seats. [erik] okay. [chrissy] each seat is 198. Its a timed Dining Experience and they do two Dinner Services a night. Okay. The fact that this has been here for six years and its still, theres a waiting list to get a reservation, i mean that just shows that this is something that is constantly in demand. What is it with like the exclusive vip experience these days . Everyone wants to feel special. I want to feel special, who doesnt want to feel special . No its great. [chrissy] theres only 13 seats. [erik] yeah. [chrissy] it makes you want that seat, it makes you want to say, oh my god, i have to get a reservation, i have to go there. What makes this place different than ours is that its bigger and the clean, neutral design really works well here but we have to go bolder. We need to make a drastic transformation in that space for it to really feel like its something different. So, im imagining a luxurious atmosphere featuring an elegant sushi bar at the front of the room, and a small but chic lounge just behind it where guests can have drinks and hang out. And basically just make every inch of that space like a lush texture. [erik] okay. Thats the plan. For sure. [chrissy] its amazing. I like it. And then they have the terrace, which is just gonna bring in extra revenue from drink service. Theres room to add a full bar out there that can easily accommodate over 20 people. It can be a real cash cow for the hotel. Ive also been talking to the owners about how customers should find the restaurant. First, they only want guests to make reservations online. Then when customers arrive at the hotel, theyll get a special key from the receptionist, theyll go up to the 10th floor where all the doors will look the same except for one. Well paint the doorframe so people will know theyve arrived. Now we need to design a really cool space. Yeah. And youve got to get it done in five days. Cheers doll. Cheers. Hey this is, this works. Its still a date night. Take it where you can get it, right . Once we have our plan in place, then we need to make sure our clients are on board. [chrissy] okay, so weve got approval . Yes, lets move. [chrissy] good to go . [chrissy] it takes us about eight weeks to prep and fabricate for a fiveday renovation because there is no room for error. What are we looking like on lead times . Six to eight weeks custom order. We can try to rush it, see what happens. [chrissy] were working with a budget of 100,000. Were spending 30,000 on the sushi area, 20k on the lounge, and another 50 grand on the terrace. Our client wants to open the restaurant the day after the build finishes. Which mean, as always, the pressure is on. But im excited about this one, this is the first restaurant in a Manhattan Hotel room. upbeat music [erik] basically, we just gotta get everything out. Everything goes ill start layout and then well go from there. So, lets just take these to the hallway, give ourselves some space. The first thing we have to do is clear the room as quickly as possible. The hotel only has one elevator, no freight elevator. We have to share it with guests. Thats crazy its taking a half hour every time we get in the elevator. Its just like, i did not expect that. We havent done anything. And getting, getting a little stressed. Were way behind. Oh, man. Im gonna start just doing paper then. All right. Startin to move something around here. Ive gotta figure out my power and we gotta figure out plumbing. So, were gonna come in here, core down. beep i think i screwed up. We need to block off two rooms to allow us to get access to plumbing and electrical. We needed to block off the ninthfloor room under the terrace to do the plumbing, and also the tenth floor behind the sushi bar to do the plumbing. I made a mistake. I blocked off the wrong room on the ninth floor. The plumbings in this room, 901. I have 902 off service. Now if it was me who made a mistake like that, i would get a lecture about how we cant make mistakes and how this is gonna hit our profit and blah, blah, blah. Im not gonna rub that in. [matt] hello. Hey, matt. Something just came up. You know you gave us a few rooms for access, right . [matt] yes. The plumbing for the terrace bar is actually not in 902, its in 901. [erik] coming up. Matt was saying something about guests needing to be moved. Yeah so, i made a mistake. [dinosdont even [dinosaur noises] im serious [dinosaur noises] yes fritolay variety packs.

We just started the process of transforming a hotel room into a restaurant. We are building a bar on a terrace that needs plumbing that goes down to the room below and unfortunately, i blocked off the wrong room. Woops. Now i have to move a guest. Hopefully the guest is there. Hopefully theyre nice. All right, thanks bud. groans hi, sorry to interrupt you. So were doing a renovation upstairs and it is on film. But we just found kind of an issue. There is plumbing piping that is gonna be impacting your room. Uh huh. [erik] so, if its okay wed actually like to move you out of the room today and upgrade you into a different room. Like right now . If its okay, we can help you move your things if youd like but wed like to actually move you, yes. All right, yeah, just like give me a minute and ill get my stuff. Okay, okay. Well be outside whenever youre ready. Was he in his underwear . He was thankfully clothed, but he was not happy with me. Okay, thank you, man. We had to upgrade the guys room, thats going to cost kcc. And it was all my fault. How does that feel . bleep usually its all my fault, but my mistakes i feel like turn into like beautiful surprises in the end. So center, its centered in the room. Hi. Hello. Hello. On the first day of construction my most important job is to confirm the layout with erik so he can get the build started. And it doesnt always go so smoothly does it . Mmmm. Those are my lights . Those are your lights. Yeah, i thought we had more space here. I thought we were. A little bit, but theres. [chrissy] i think we have to shift all the lights over. Lighting over the sushi bar is gonna be critical. What we really wanna do here is create a dramatic, theatrical, spotlight almost over each plate of food. But thats obviously easier said than done. Already moving lights. I think thats a record. I have been in here for like three minutes. [erik] how do you feel about that now . All right, so seat number one. All right franklin, go a little. That feels better. So center, yeah. So were gonna do two inches. Oh my god. Im sorry. Now we have three layout marks. Okay. That is like a disaster waiting to happen. You know that, right . So lets use a different color. I know were behind schedule, but these lights have to be perfectly placed. If theyre shining over a guests head instead of a beautiful plate of sushi, its going to be silly. Whats making more money, sushi or the bar, the liquor . Bar. We better have it right, okay . So, i wanna lay this out 100 with you. So, what do you have for ice machine . Oh, man, im not ready. Come on all right, weve got a scotsman ice maker. I dont care if its a im stalling, im stalling. Its 22. 12. Its going to be about here. Yeah. Yeah. Keep moving. Thats a pretty good bar. You making me a drink . Yeah. Make me a drink. Oh, oh i think youre supposed to shake for like 45 seconds. Yeah, i dont have time for that. Were three hours behind schedule. Chrissy is great at what she does but as soon as shes done, its time for her to go. Hit the road. You good with this . Im good with this. Okay, leave, like seriously. upbeat rock music [erik] they can go down and get the two come back up. What else can we do today, you think . Since this is a fully functional live hotel, we cannot do work past 6 p. M. Mmmhmm. Normally i would just stay late to make up time. I really wanted to get the terrace bar built today, but that is not gonna happen. Lets do that and that is probably it. Yeah, thats it. Okay thats fine. [erik] i really need to get ahead of schedule if this place is going to open on time. Ifs not in our vocabulary. Its not. That the last cut . Keep all of the tools up here. [frank] oh yeah, just put them right here. Just put em right inside. [frank] go home. upbeat music [erik] hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. We got bleep to do here. As yesterday was a real lag, we basically have to make up two days of work on one day. Weve got six carpenters, two electricians, three plumbers. We got 14 people in this tiny spot. Its gonna be brutal. Good, screw it in. upbeat music so does erik get to join us on these fun field trips . No. Where is he at . You know he is stuck on site, probably dealing with a plumber or some version of a construction nightmare. And were gonna do cocktail tasting . Yeah and we are gonna pretend were not having fun. To emphasize the exclusive ambiance of the restaurant, chef david and i wanna offer guests a signature cocktail that they wont find any place else. This is gonna be no fun at all. So im taking him to the 18th room, a trendy speakeasy, to help us come up with the perfect recipe. Hi. Hey, how are you . The 18th room is known for its distinctive, bespoke cocktails. The bar manager is a friend of mine and i really trust his experience. Nine out of 10 people will generally stick to the first drink they order. I could see that. I do the same. I always do that. I think if they have a signature drink to begin with, especially if your signature drink is good, then that opens the doors and youre like thats the one i want, and then you stick with that for the rest of the night. I think we should make some drinks. Lets do it. Can i jump back there, with you . Sure. You look so nervous. No, im excited. Here we go. In the bar business, getting a customer to buy a second and a third drink is the key to success. David wants to create a signature highball, which is popular in japan and goes great with sushi. The signature drink should Say Something about your venue and be like oh you have to get the highball from this venue. Exactly. [david] whats a highball in easy terms . Essentially alcohol with some kind of citrus and soda. Theyre very big in japan, they have it on tap. Thats so cool. Which is a really easy way to make volume. Were gonna do good. [brendan] yeah yeah. The key to a bars profit is the pour cost, thats how much the ingredients cost to make your drink. In a highball, youll have two ounces of whisky, three quarter ounce of citrus, two ounces of soda and two dashes of bitters. So the total pour cost is about 1. 55. Sell that drink for 15 and youre left with a nice 90 margin. Ingredient one. laughs [brendan] that is olive leaf whiskey. [chrissy] want me to put this in . [brendan] yeah put some of that in there. I gotta go fast, right . So were keeping somewhat to the tradition of whiskey, but then were adding the olive leaf. And we have japanese, just some yuzu. Its a japanese citrus. Were gonna use cubed ice and were gonna fill this to the tippy top. [chrissy] tippy top. Tippy top. Nice and hard, nice and fast. Chrissy, chrissy, chrissy this feels so natural for me. They say thats your sex face when youre shaking. Its a happy face i am making. Where is erik . Good job. Oh oh. Watch this, woo. The other thing we add to this drink is a saline solution. So for some umami flavors. [chrissy] see you tomorrow. laughing three drops, i promise you its saline. Three drops. [david] it actually looks good i am not going to lie. For you. Well done. [chrissy] is that good . Its great. Thank you. Amazing, thank you very much. This is good this is very good. All right, give me one of these, give me one of these. Good job. Doing a japanese inspired venue, i would definitely have it as my premier drink. Refine the recipe, never change it. And they know when they get there that youre gonna have that cocktail and thats the only place they can go to get that. I think that is gonna create a little bit of a buzz. I am gonna make one for erik tonight. [david] you seem very excited. [chrissy] bottoms up. Cheers. Cheers. Its going good. Ooh hey, whats up . Hello. [mark] good, good. So, whats going on . Um lots. When clients come unannounced it creates another stress that we dont really need right now. Couple of snags, but. What do you mean by snags . Just kinda just geting my crews going and trying to stay out of your customers and guests and everything else. When ive seen projects fall behind i become handson. And hes just gonna have an assistant for a few days where ill be here a little bit more than hes comfortable with. Matt was saying something to me yesterday about guests need to be moved. Yeah so, i made a mistake. Coming up. This is a problem, what is this, like a thousand dollars or more . 2000. Uh, im so frustrated. I need help with this because my brain stopped working.

Couple of snags, but you know. What do you mean by snags . When a client thinks youre behind schedule, you have to prove to them that a, you have a plan in place, and b recoup that time . Aint gonna cost them any more money. Do you wanna go in . Id like to go inside, yeah. A plus b equals happy client thats not concerned. Im behind on the plumbing, just to be honest with you. [mark] do you think youll still be able to turn it around . I need to. Thats my responsibility. Ill lay that down tomorrow to make sure we get back on track. Its not costing more . Not costing more. To be clear it is not costing mark anymore, but for us on the other hand. Yeah, were gonna have to eat the overtime. And we have a child to feed. upbeat music i was a little nervous this morning, but everyone really stepped up, like big time. We made a lot of time up today. Got a little celebration outside. Were the first people that are gonna use the terrace bar. Little bit of victory and get ready for tomorrow. Thank you, sir. upbeat music it might look nice just like that. Thatll look nice. Were taking half dowels and facing the front of the sushi bar with tight joints all the way through. Weve never really done it before, but it is kind of a cool idea, so, good job chrissy. The half dowels were using for the bar are made of pine and are only about a thousand dollars installed and finished. We could go with an oak or maple and stain it, but thats going to be about double or triple the price. Well paint the dowels and finish them in a high gloss, so it still has a very highend look to it, but its going to be very durable and easy to maintain. Thats a nice ve right there. Pat me on the back right there. Nice job. Thanks. Ow, that was like a. Give me a nicer pat on the back. You want a little. I want a rub. Hello . Oh my god. Welcomne. What do you think . Oh my god. You guys did that fast. [erik] you like it . Thats insane. We got the wall covering so. I cant believe the wall coverings here. That was like quite a labor of love. We rush ordered this for you. I know. Im using two different types of wall covering here; one is for the walls and one is for the ceiling. Its such a small space so we really wanna layer it with textures and patterns. The wallpapers on the walls is gonna be the same throughout. Only the lounge will get the wallpaper on the ceiling. That will be enough to make each zone feel distinct. So this is awesome. Whoo i also needed chrissy to approve the orientation of the wood were using for the top of the sushi bar. Look at this, someone put screws in your top. Wow. Ugh, that annoys me. This is a 2,000 custom cut slab of maple, and there are screw holes in it, which makes me sad, also makes me angry. [erik] ah let me see the other side. [chrissy] the other side better be pristine. This is a problem. [chrissy] this is the statement piece of our sushi bar and it has huge flaws. sighs [erik] so, what is this like 1,000 or more . [chrissy] 2,000. How long does it take to get it . This old guy went to like the forest and chopped it down. Three weeks, four weeks . Yeah. Yeah so were not. This is staying, were using this. Yeah. We only have three days left, we have no time to order a new slab. I dont know what were gonna do. Ugh, im so frustrated. I need help with this cause my brain stopped working. Coming up. Yeah, they have to shut down the waste and the water. [edin] we have to do it fast. What does it mean if youre not good . [erik] then theres poop everywhere. Oh boy. Dont stress out.

[chrissy] ugh, that annoys me. Weve got less than three days to finish transforming a small hotel room into a restaurant, and we just hit a major problem. [chrissy] the 2,000 sushi bar top that we ordered arrived damaged and there is no way to fix it. We gotta use this as the top. Theres no screws over here. We have to use the side with the knot. Now its just a matter of if we want to have the knot facing the customer or the chef. Yep. [erik] people are gonna like, pick it. [chrissy] i know. Their shirts are gonna get caught on it. I feel like this should be customer. Yeah so customer side, chef side, yeah. Okay. The dangerous side is going to be on chef davids side, not the customer end. Its not ideal, thats one of the hazards of being a sushi chef. We need to get you outta here cause were looking really good here, we can do this, but not with you here. You physically push me out the door sometimes. I dont push you, i guide you out. Corral me, like in a loving way, like in a, not a Police Report way. Bye, love you. Bye. Bye. I feel like im gonna miss so much fun. Youre like literally kicking me out. I am. I need to wash my hand. Now we can work. For the rest of the day we will be putting up wallpaper and painting the rest of the room. By tonight the place might just start looking like a sushi restaurant. The finish line is near, its close, i can see it. Hopefully everyone else can see it. [erik] lets focus on the hand sinks back there. Todays first big task is installing the hand sinks at the sushi bar. Weve already cut out access for the plumber but. Here is good, but here we gotta open up. [erik] we need to open that up more . [installer] yes. He needs like three times more access cut out, and ive got a walk through with the client today, so this just does not look good. sighs im taking a trip to my favorite florist in manhattan to pick out a signature piece for the restaurant. We wanna make sure that everything we put into the room evokes that highend experience. So they have four seats at the sushi bar. If i end up with my exwife, without knowing, that would be horrible dinner party. Or maybe future wife. Look at that. You never know. You never know. [katsuya] when they are planning to open . Tomorrow. Opening. Red is a good luck color. Im completely open, you guys are the experts. I have something. [chrissy] ooh ooh, whats in there . Something. Oh my gosh, thats beautiful.

Yeah, they have to shut down the waste and the water. Honestly this is like the best time of day cause all the Business People and tourists are gone, so no one really should be using the bathrooms. Turning off the water line is easy, just a valve. Okay. But you cant turn off the waste lines. So we basically have to do the work superfast, otherwise were going to be potentially covered in have a poo shower . In waste. Yall know what waste is . Poo. Its poop. We just gotta do it quick. Its probably a quick changeover, right . I would just let them know, but were gonna just do it at you know 11 15 and just do it really fast. Its probably gonna take five minutes. All right, bye. I was feeling pretty good until i just got that call. But it feels like this is like making me feel better, like someones helping me right now. This is making me insanely nervous. So im cleaning, organizing, building, until the plumber says were either good or were not good. What does it mean if youre not good . Then theres poop everywhere. Oh boy. Im not cleaning that up. Dont stress out. But we always just get hit with these things. Listen, were almost done. Hows the tiein . You tied it in . Yep. No poop . Look. No poop . But nothing came through . Okay.

One, two, three. [all] bou lets do it. Now that all of the primary construction is done, were bringing in the furniture, i can finally start setting everything up. Ive divided the restaurant into three zones. Right now the sushi bar and the outdoor terrace are in a good spot. Ive got a lot of work to do in the lounge. This is where First Impressions will be made, so it is essential that the furniture layout is perfect, so the guests have a vip experience. That colors amazing. Its like christmas morning. [erik] what do you think, chrissy . I think its awesome. But i think i need to just massage it. So, you can leave me with the sofa. What else is there to do . Its two seats and a sofa. We could spend hours on this. I want every square inch of this space to generate revenue. Wasted space means wasted opportunity. Feels like some place i wanna buy a highprice point cocktail, and i agree. Have an amazing dinner. 45 minutes left guys, lets go upbeat music is the outside furniture done . Uh, yes.

Thats insane oh, that came out great. [chrissy] we got the wall covering, the chandelier. [mark] the bed was right there before. Youre standing where the bed was. If you remember when we talked about the layout we started with zone one, so the guests come in and theyre greeted with this lux lounge. They sit down, they get greeted, they get an amazing cocktail. Kinda sets the mood. Then the people move from zone one to zone two. Everyones sitting here. Your next reservation can come in and get a cocktail. We havent even gotten to the sushi bar. Lets check it out. Thats my cue. Thats your cue. Can i . This is very beautiful. [matt] guys, is this one solid piece of wood . [chrissy] this is a live slab, yes, this is one solid piece. Oh this came out great. Actually a lot of space in here. The countertop is perfect size. Thats one of the key things in a space this small is making sure we took advantage of every single inch, to give you storage. We wanted you to feel at home so put your bandana and your apron back there. Thank you very much. The moment of truth. There it is amazing its official its official now. Thank you guys so much, im very excited. [matt] by the way, i love these flowers. Im glad you noticed. So, we wanted to do a nice, little special touch. We want it to feel residential in here. Its a small detail, but i think customers notice it. All right guys, lets go take a look at the terrace. [chrissy] youre gonna stay there . Yeah, from a distance ill see ya. [chrissy] enter your beautiful outdoor oasis. [matt] this is bleep 10 out of 10. I cant bleep believe this. I cant believe you guys did this this quickly. We created these like seating groupings in these little nooks separated by the bump outs. We put flowers in, so it made it feel like a little more life out here, more of a green space. The materials out here on the terrace is the highest grade. Its gonna withstand new york winters. This wont fade for probably 10 15 years. Really . Thats amazing. [erik] youre looking at yearround additional revenue. Were excited to hang out here. Im just excited for you guys to start making money. You guys, and youve ruined me now, because every time i see a contractor that tells me one month, two months, ill be like, come on, you can do it in five days, five days, right . Im totally floored by this place. It adds a lot of value to the property, not only as a food and beverage revenue driver, but also a revenue driver for the hotel rooms. People that are coming here are now gonna expect and see a lot more sophistication with this hotel and will pay to see it. This puts us in a completely different class of hotels. No longer are we just a Standard Hotel room, now were gonna wind up having a food and beverage component, outdoor and indoors. They promised something. They delivered it five days later. I couldnt have asked for more. Its beautiful, everything is perfect. I still cant get over the seating, i like cant believe we are gonna have a real bar here. Im actually more excited about this than i am the sushi bar. Tell david that. laughs it makes it all worthwhile at the end when the client walks in, to see their faces light up. For them to see the opportunity that weve seen from the beginning, thats where like the magic happens. It makes all the stress and all the hard work worth it. Here hop on my back, ill give you a piggyback ride home. Youre tired. Yeah, just drag me out like that. My feet will be druggin behind ya. Back at the scene of the crime. Back at the scene of the crime. We have a reservation. Okay, and your name . Kopplin. [male] this is your room key. Its located on the 10th floor, just in front of the elevator. Amazing. Thank you, sir. How cute is that . That is awesome. I need to get some. Ooh, were here here we go, this is so cool. You go first. Um, excuse me. laughing no way. Your 10 p. M. Reservation is here. [david] youre joking with me right now. No. Oh my gosh, how have you been . Ive been amazing. This is going, beyond the stratosphere. Since the new restaurant has opened its been an incredible success. The sushi bar is booked solid on most nights. With five different seatings of four people, each paying 125 a seat plus drinks, every night the sushi bar alone is generating an amazing 3,000. Not bad for a hotel room that used to make 500 a night. And the press on this place has been insane. The press has been amazing. And i think when you create the first of something, [erik] yeah. [chrissy] right. Thats like automatic. The New York Times was like probably the highest accolade we got. We had a whole page, [chrissy] so amazing, congrats. That was a huge honor for me. Thank you very much. Hows the terrace doing . The terrace is doing amazing [chrissy] yeah . I think we did 150 last week. 150 people . Yeah. 150 pigeons, no 150 people. laughing [erik] youre looking at 150 a week, two drinks at 15 a pop. [chrissy] yup. [erik] thats 30 times 150, youre what like 4500 a week .
