Okay, Project Strategy.
It seems to me that Branson & Paramount should partner with a Cruise Ship Line company.
Who knows better how to build a guest & event infrastructure?
In fact, the Cruise Line already has the setup for travel and reservation processing!

Expansion Potential
Any successful venture should have expandability built into its plan.
I should imagine that on the same premises could be allotted an area for a second ship.
Personally, I was thinking that a D7 would be highly cool, followed by TOS Romulan Bird of Prey.
But I'm an old timer, and I must acknowledge that a Klingon Bird of Prey would probably be more appealing to the young whippersnappers.
Underneath the wings? How about outdoor restaurant furnishings?
Important safety tip: Don't complain about the food to a Klingon waitress!
That could just end up... very, very... yeah.

Cafe Trek
It makes sense. Cafe will let you choose your waiter.
Vulcan - customer just wants the meal, no entertainment.
Klingon - customer wants entertainment. Waiter drops the plate in front of diner, gives a grunt & annoyed sneer, then walks off.
Waitress: "YOU WILL TAKE WHAT WE GIVE YOU! AND YOU WILL LIKE IT!"
Green Orion Slave Girls - Touchy cuddly, gives trace little caress as she walks by, maybe a brief shoulder rub.
This would work really well when one guy at the table gets a Klingon while another gets the GOSG.
You get the idea.

Table Angels
You've heard of "Cube Angels"?
They are LMT's hired by corporations to give much needed 5 minute rests to highly stressed employees.
I was thinking... yes, at 3am... what would cap off a nice business lunch besides a tasty dessert?
How about a 4 or 5 minute light head massage?
"Orion Massage"
Since this doesn't involve muscle therapy, it shouldn't require an LMT license.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APUu65h7b4E
"Betazoid Massage"
This is the best, most through head massage I've ever seen.
(Skip past the first 25% of the video to where the barber shave ends and the massage begins.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8ElxSdUqu0
"Ferengi Massage"
He can give you the latest stock quotes and market trends while he does it.
(And we can't of course, leave out Baba the Cosmic Barber!)

"Klingon Massage"
Normal:
Oh buggers... it'll be a bear, finding the vid I'm thinking about.
Let's just say that it's appears to be legit LMT work, but it just looks like 'rough handling'.
Of course, when the tech says "breathe...", a Klingon would say "BREATHE, Human!"
Disciplinary:
If a customer makes an inappropriate remark to a Table Angel, then Hell'Ga can be called over to administer her special massage.
Most humans can't withstand more than about 30 seconds of it because it involves things like a jaw lock and hard playground noogies.
Now... Practicalities.
- Can Table Angels get to all restaurant customers? Not on a busy day.
That's why there is no charge for it. That rarity is also why Green Orion Slave Girls are so treasured.
- Can waitresses/waiters do it? Probably not. Food handling regulations might prevent that.
- The assumption MUST be made that customers do not want to be touched unless they put their little flag up.
The specific type of massage must also be requested. If they pick Klingon, then they agree to be shouted at and handled roughly.
- Employees must NOT be coerced into the duty. It can be violating, being forced to put your hands on strangers.
One protection might be to explicitly state in the employment contract that physical contact is not required.
Summary: Personally, I can't figure out why a short, after-dinner scalp massage isn't fashionable!
