Any bikini coffee shop owners here?

I was trying to think of an analog to my idea that doesn't give away my brilliant plan, haha. I came up with this. I call the shop Daisy's coffee. I go through the permit process without mentioning the uniforms the baristas will be wearing. It turns out that the uniform is short jean shorts and a halter top, Daisy Duke style. Community members complain and whatever happens, happens, but I'm not guilty of breaking any known rules. And, I can always adjust the dress code a little. i.e., T shirts vs halter tops, longer shorts.

I do remember hearing about this but I think this is apples to oranges. I'm asking how would the language in the city code look that bans this?

Well it points to the inadequacies of any city code wording to prevent lawsuits. If someone is upset enough they will give you a hard time of some sort. (But often, that is what tells you that you have a good idea!)

 

[JeffD]

yes but I don't understand the pertinence.

I judged from the video at the bottom of their page that they were in fact doing what you hope to do. Was thinking you might want to call and learn what hoops they had to jump through.

The difference is that the attire is given away by the name of the business. I may be too hung up on the fact that attire is not even hinted at in the name of my business being an advantage for me to obtain a permit. My idea is a new, significant twist on the bikini barista business model, I think. Once/if I'm up and running, that will no longer be an advantage to avoiding public scrutiny.

Even after you are up and running, the name Daisy's is great. It hints but isn't explicit. It is on the list of the Best Stripper Names for 2023, though I haven't a clue how they make those lists.

haha that's awesome. I won't be using this name though. I was just saying that the connection between the name and the attire is about as strong as the name Daisy and bootie shorts. If the name was Daisy Duke's Coffee, that would be entirely different.
