The model I'd build around the venues
Instead of charging the bar a huge amount immediately, you could offer something like:
$500/month
Venue logo on bus advertising
Venue featured on promotional material
QR code on advertising
Monthly promotional ride
$1,000/month
Everything above
Pedicab advertising
Social-media promotion
Dedicated venue nights
Customer discount/VIP promotion
$2,500/month
Premium/exclusive partnership
Prominent bus placement
Pedicab branding
Regular social promotion
Sponsored VIP transportation nights
Corporate/event transportation opportunities
Then you can create revenue sharing on customers you actually deliver.
For example:
$50 VIP Night Package
$25 transportation
$25 venue/event package
The venue keeps the agreed portion of the venue package while the transportation company keeps the transportation revenue.
One important opportunity
I'd also sell advertising space separately from the venue partnership.
For example:
BUS ADVERTISEMENT
Small placement: $250–$500/month
Large placement: $750–$1,500/month
Full vehicle wrap: $2,000–$5,000+ depending on term and production
PEDICAB
Small sponsor: $150–$300/month
Full branding: $500–$1,000/month
That means one bus could potentially generate transportation revenue + venue revenue + advertising revenue + sponsorship revenue.
And because you already have the pedicab concept, I would position the whole thing as a “Mobile Entertainment & Advertising Network”, rather than simply calling it a party-bus company. That gives you a much bigger pitch when approaching bars, restaurants, casinos, hotels, event promoters and corporate sponsors.

Position your brand across Seattle with our mobile entertainment and advertising network. Turn high-traffic party buses and pedicabs into steady customer revenue.
