The openingWhy this idea is overlooked
Coals, foil, and mouth tips are unglamorous, but they are exactly the products a lounge burns through every single day and reorders constantly, which makes a focused consumables supplier a recurring-revenue business hiding inside a commodity. Unlike hardware, which sells once, consumables generate steady repeat wholesale orders independent of any large equipment purchase. The overlooked opportunity is to become the dependable, fast, well-priced coal-and-foil source a cluster of lounges and shops reorders from on autopilot. It is a simpler, lower-capital entry to the vendor layer than full distribution or manufacturing.
