Grinkers - Idaho arcade - layout feedback requested

All opinions and feedback welcome. Thanks in advance for taking a few minutes to check this out.

We need to finalize general layout by Monday morning. Electrician begins his work.

Ignore the kitchen, bar and restroom areas. Focus attention on the game layout.

I really like it, but since you are asking for comments.

Area #1 looks like wasted space.
Area #2 looks like no one could get into the cockpits, if someone is playing the arcade game next to them.

How close are the games to the wall? six inches or closer?

I think the layout looks great. It's nice that you have the cocktails right by the bar, so people at the bar have no problem seeing over those games to the other areas. How much space is there between the uprights? I've never been a fan of having them touch each other, I like to see at least a few inches in between games. Just curious.
 
What about,

A station of some kind for an employee near the main entrance.
Are minors going to be allowed late at night without an adult ? No one near the door to stop them from coming in and for some kind of security in general. I realize it's in Eagle but you never know.

A place to work on games or tear a game apart if needed while waiting for parts. With that many games there will be constant repairs needed.

A place for any retail like shirts or souvenirs if you are planning on selling them.
 
I like it for the most part. Couple changes I would make:

#1 You need more than one change machine in an arcade that size, or you're gonna be making change at the bar.

#2 I would try to put the cockpits on the ends of rows to better showcase them and make them easier to climb into and allow people to watch them be played. Three of the four are buried in the corners, and you really wanna show those off, IMO.

Just my 25 cents, of course. I really like what you're doing and hope you make a crap ton of dinero.
