Bahamas Hotel Club Diversifies with Delivery Service as Baixada Santista's BNI Drives Millions in Local Business

The Bahamas Hotel Club in São Paulo is reinventing its business strategy by launching Bahamas Burger Club, a themed delivery service designed to expand its customer base beyond its traditional adult clientele. Operating through iFood with prices starting at R$38, the service features creatively named burgers like 'A Carne é Fraca' and aims to break even by February 2024. Additionally, the club plans to open a physical restaurant inspired by the American chain Hooters, tapping into São Paulo's demand for themed dining experiences. Aratã Maroni, an heir to the club, emphasized the focus on entrepreneurship and creating a unique identity rather than appealing to all critics. Meanwhile, in the Baixada Santista region, the Business Network International (BNI) has facilitated approximately R$32.5 million in closed business between July and September 2025, underscoring the power of structured networking among 210,000 small businesses, including around 60% Individual Microentrepreneurs (MEIs). The organization is expanding its presence in Peruíbe and Praia Grande and reinforcing its group in Bertioga. Alexandre Mantovani of BNI highlighted that the impressive business volume proves how strategic networking transforms business realities by connecting entrepreneurs and sharing opportunities. These developments illustrate thriving local innovation and collaboration efforts in São Paulo and Baixada Santista's dynamic business landscapes.
