Why Join The Dice Box
If you’re passionate about providing an unrivalled level of customer service, have a thirst for running your own business and simply love board games, then The Dice Box would be the perfect opportunity for you. The Dice Box business model includes several revenue streams. Firstly, an entry fee applies to customers, which gives access to the board game café. Thereafter, a variety of teas, coffees, sandwiches and other refreshments are available through the café kitchen. There is also the opportunity to upsell on the fact that board games can be purchased through the in-café shop.

The Earning Potential
