So mix games play a lot slower.
What’s the best way to rake?
Usual % and add a time charge?

I’d like the table to clear $200 an hour. This covers dealer and food/drinks.

Not interested in discussing legalities.
 
I’d estimate 15-20 hands p/hour. Not too sure.
5/10 or 10/20 limit
Hoping for 7 runners. 8 if you head south
 
Haha yep.
Imagine them going to crown to play 1/2 and being hit with 10% capped at $20
 
10/20 limit at my local cardroom did 20/hr (10 every 30 minutes) time charge post pandemic for 6 players, so $120/hour for the table. Before that the game was 8 max and had did 10% up to $5.

I think you either pick a rake or a time charge, not both. I think if you go for more than 10% rake players will bristle, you could probably get away with a max of $6-8 per hand though as that's perceived as "coming from the winners" anyway.

Time charge is a surer deal, but you probably need to go for like $12 every 30 minutes, not knowing the players, that may be rough. They may wonder why it's $100/hr just to sit for 4 hours?

$200 seems like a lot to hope for an hour, but I did realized this was in AUD so more like 160 USD, which is still higher than a lot of casino's here clear, no doubt.

Oh man, if that's what they're doing then I would do 10% up to 10 and bill it as "half price" ;). You should get close to your goal this way anyway. But really to absorb $200 an hour. I think you really need to find 15/30 or 20/40 limit players that will all buy in for $1000+, then only one "stack" gets raked out of the game. 5/10 limit seems absolutely unsustainable, it will break too quickly, the rake will break the players. 10/20 is probably on that line too.
