Honestly it's probably never going to be profitable. If you want to minimize your headaches and time there then alcohol and food are terrible ideas. If you just like having a place to play in your town and for the public to play, do it as cheap as possible, use the business to expense the games, keep them clean and playing well and find some kids you can trust to run the front door. It won't make much or any ever but if you enjoy having it then that may be enough to make it worth it.

Correct, in most cases you can not keep expensing without showing a profit in 3 years. You also would have issues with the business owning the games if you close it down. If you sell games that are depreciated through the business you also take a tax hit. You might look into owning the games personally and leasing them to the business. Lots of different ways to set it up and all have draw backs.
