The Idea

What better way for the sleep deprived office professional of today to greet the new day than with a fresh donut, a large high-octane coffee, and death metal.

I envision a franchise opportunity to develop a chain of donut shops, each of which would contract with a local death metal band who would play on a real stage inside each location, with their normal amps and equipment. The band would play each morning from 6am - 9:30am. The sound level would need to be at, or around 110-130dB.

Since it would be much too loud for the counterperson to hear the customer speak their order, the stores would need to employ an automated, touch screen order entry terminal which would offer a range of donut options.

Only caffeinated coffee choice would be offered, in a standard 24 oz size.

This surely is an original idea...

Original is the right word for it. I'd love to see what you'd write for 'I thought of this idea when I was...'!

Just crazy enough to work in a city like LA...

I'm sure there's a market for this, I'm just not it. Why death metal? I've heard that death metal has been shown to cause depression and emotional stress. Why not something like latin music or upbeat hippie rock?

Most people who are really into death metal are not up between 6am and 9:30.

Nope

Sorry, I just don't see it.

Death metal fans are so up at 6am, they are finishing off their day, getting ready for bed. A perfect time for a donut!
