My project-group's "business" is a mini-golf attraction which also features a bar and a restaurant. Specifically, this miniature golf attraction is themed similar to the "Rainforest Cafe" in the sense that it will look like a jungle complete with special effects (fog, water, etc) and animatronics. The bar and restaurant will continue the theme.
I just wanted to check, this business offers both products and services right?
I imagine that the experience provided constitutes a service, and the equipment rentals (putter clubs, balls), food, drinks, and souvenirs constitute products. Or am I incorrect and the entire business only offers services? For some reason this seems less cut-and-dry to me than other product versus service examples.
I was trying to think of it as the same model that theme-parks such as Disney World use. They offer an experience through their rides and atmosphere, which is a service (I think), but also products in the form of food, drink, and souvenirs. I see this as being the same, just on a smaller scale.
Any help that can be offered is appreciated.
