Getting started in non-traditional roles (e.g. nightclubs)

Does anyone here work somewhere that traditionally doesn't have a robust technical recruitment pipeline?

An example, and my goal, is nightclubs. A lot operate on paper and calculators and would greatly benefit from an on-site data scientist/engineer to create insightful dashboards, attendance/revenue forecasts, and just overall lending a helping hand bringing the club backend to modern standards.

I just want some perspective from those who work in a non-traditional role and how you got your foot in the door.

Thanks
