Advice from the team that designs, builds and runs family entertainment centers.
FEC consulting from people who build them
A family entertainment center is a big investment. The right advice before you sign a lease, and after you open, decides how well it earns.
FUNCO is a family entertainment center company: we design, build, supply and support FECs. Our consultants use what we learn on every project, in 15+ countries and over 10+ years, so the plan on paper works on the floor.
We help investors, mall owners and operators with a new center, and owners who want more from the center they already run.
What our FEC consultants do
Take one part, or the full plan from the first market study to the day after opening.
Market study
Estimated footfall, the catchment area, disposable income and the target customer profile.
Financial plan
Capital expenditure, operating expenditure, payback period, project cash flow and a P&L statement.
Entertainment mix
The rides, games and attractions for your visitors, your space and your budget.
Concept and branding
The name, the logo, the mascot, the theme and the look and feel of the center.
Layout and zoning
Floor plans, zoning and the visitor journey, with MEP and safety planned in.
Pre-opening plan
Budget, positioning, pricing, marketing, staffing, manuals and training.
Operations audit
Technical and operations audits of a center that is open, with clear actions.
New attractions
Fresh attractions and theming that bring visitors back to an existing center.
How an FEC consulting project works
Market and money
We study the market and build the financial plan, so you see the numbers before you commit.
Concept and mix
We set the concept, the entertainment mix and the layout, with drawings you can take to investors and landlords.
Opening and after
We plan the pre-opening and, once you are open, audit the operation and help it grow.
Opening a new family entertainment center?
Most mistakes in an FEC are made before it opens: the wrong site, the wrong mix or a budget that does not fit the market.
- Start with the market: Who lives and shops near the site, how many visitors you can expect and what they will spend.
- Fit the mix to the space: Each attraction needs floor area, height, power and staff. The mix must earn from every square meter.
- Know the numbers: Capital cost, running cost, payback period and cash flow, set out before you sign.
- Plan the opening: Staff, training, manuals, pricing and marketing are ready before the doors open.
Read our guide on how to start a family entertainment center.
Already running a center?
A center that worked on opening day can lose visitors as the market changes.
Our technical and operations audits look at the attractions, the maintenance, the pricing, the staff and the guest journey. You get a list of actions: what to fix, what to change and which new attractions or theming will bring visitors back.
Our team also provides breakdown and preventive maintenance. See pre-opening and operations support.
