Rationale posted:No I’m literally gonna buy up liquidation auctions til I feel like I have something and then apply for a permit. Two things: #1 - Did you buy yourself that (honestly pretty rad) avatar, or did someone get it for you? #2 - What in the christ-loving gently caress is Engineering Psychology? #3 - (I lied about two things) How did those donuts taste?

Rationale posted:No I’m literally gonna buy up liquidation auctions til I feel like I have something and then apply for a permit. Are you logging these expenses? If you manage to make money, and you haven't separated these business expenses from your personal expenses, you'll effectively pay tax on every dollar you spend at these auctions

Rationale posted:I googled business plan again and it all slid right off my buttery smooth brain again Sell donut $1 x sales Sell coffee $1 x sales - donut costs $.05 - coffee costs $.05 Boom easy money gonna be rich right. Then - properly taxes - electricity - water / sewer / trash Forget payroll and everything else for now. How many donuts and coffee do you have to sell to break even? These will all be guesses at the beginning. But when the real numbers start coming in it will be instantly obvious where it's lacking or hosed up. Then you know where to try and unfuck it. But at a minimum you should open with an incorrect but to the best of your ability guess of how many donuts you need to sell that day to not lose money.

Fortunately with one car every fifteen seconds driving by he just needs a quarter of them to stop for coffee in an eight hour day to serve five hundred beverages. This seems reasonable

honda whisperer posted:Sell donut $1 x sales Okay let’s figure 3k a month in bills before ingredients or $100 a day roughly so if I do a dozen dozen at .95 per I can buy a can of snuff and worry about the next surprise expense I think with a little effort and personal growth I can make higher-margin donuts at the $20/dz price point in silly quantities every day. If I can get standing orders for twenty dozen a day I’ll have like $180 The machine can fry like 40 dozen an hour or something. So as a fully developed one-man show with two hours frying two hours prep two hours finish two hours cleanup two hours delivery for 60 dozen should net about $700 which is not bad except the machine could conceivably be frying donuts all day every day to net me like five grand

There's good precedent for not needing to understand any of that up to and including losing money on your first test sales before opening a location. And yes, it's the idiot wannabe restaurant guy in Canada who ended up broke and divorced.

I totally get if you buy enough machines, your supply capacity is high. The worrying part is the demand. You want to have 10 people preorder 2 dozen each (or 30 people preorder 2 dozen each?), every single day. There may be businesses that want a few dozen for big meetings or on Fridays, but on like a random Tuesday I'm not so sure. I'm also not sure how the timing works out. You just described a 10-hour shift to get the preorders delivered, but if businesses want preorders, they'll want them in the morning, right? So those 10 hours are going to be overnight and then you're going to work a full day? And you'll be delivering them right when people come to your store before work? I don't think that's a one-person show.

Yeah there’s no demand right now I’m going to have to make and sell donuts to build the sort of revenue stream I’d like to see before I’m hiring other people to make and sell donuts

There's obviously a lot of not very well thought-out stuff going on here, but on the other hand I have friends who opened a sports bar because they like sports and have friends who like sports and its still going a few years later (although they all make minimum wage from it). I hope this works out for you donut guy!

Perhaps OP believes the truck will be useful or valuable in the future. Or they feel it has sentimental value, is unique and irreplaceable, or too big a bargain to throw away. They may also consider the truck a reminder that will jog their memory, thinking that without it they won’t remember an important person or event. Or because they can’t decide where the truck belongs, it’s better just to keep it Keeping derelict pickups may be present on its own, or in association with OCPD, ADHD, and depression
