I met with a pro and he said probably 200k which blows but he said we can get all our permits and drawings from him for 3500-5000 and then contract or do the work ourselves. Going to have to insulate all five sides and it’s a big building. I guess in the old days you could just go down to the river and skim a little coal

Find another location. Even an ex Uhaul with a brick fire oven in the back. Alternatively if you must. Raze it.

Yeah I’m not going into debt and I’m not going to quit and I’m not even going to sell anything except excess auction loot. For now I think I’ll pay the designer get the stamp have my guy run some temp power and get to work. I’m gonna see about shooting foam into the block cavities rather than shrinking the building by 7-1/4”. If it’s not any cheaper or even legal then I can do a bunch of the carpentry myself.

 you got this. Don’t let the man get you down. I’m sure that quote was padding quite a few pockets. I bet you can get the building fixed for 10 or less.

Maybe the cart idea isn't half bad, could you do enough to get a working kitchen in your building and then just sell donuts from the cart? Maybe you could post up in the parking lot of this high school where teens are just ravenous for donuts.

Yeah it might make sense to open up a donut kitchen first but I’m going on 4x10 through winter so we’ll see what all we can do to it with an extra day.

That sounds like loser talk! You can get this building rehabbed on the cheap if you just roll up your sleeves and give it your all! I’m sure it’s not that hard. You’ll be up and raking in those donut dollars in no time!

I have a vision for this working out. Assuming you can figure out how to make good donuts, which seems possible given that you are a plumber and are not an idiot, just follow the model that works for all the Chinese-run mom and pop donut shops. 1. Spend nothing to make the space nice, just pass whatever you need for permits. 2. Sell cigs and lotto tickets. 3. Drop the espresso dream to start 4. Build a personal relationship with each of your clients 5. Do everything yourself for the first 6 months

Is this a bit? Half of the advice is truly awful (1 and 2) and the other half may or may not be good (3) or is actually good (4 and 5).

Genuine advice from what I have seen work for a handful of places. Having at least a benched table by a window (does this building have windows?) is a good move to keep a handful of geriatric regulars happy. Cigs and lotto tickets are free money, and only come at the cost of bad vibes, which I think this place will already be serving aplenty.

Hi. Having had one of the longest running basket case building repair threads in the forums for the past 11 years and counting, I am here to give you advice. Do not. Raze that building to the ground and either sell it immediately (STRONGLY recommend this) or build fresh on your fresh bare lot. Do not loving waste your time on that decrepit blight-shack of a building. I recommend taking the advise given on your business plan as well but I don't think you're going to listen to me either so... Have fun I guess.

Motronic posted:"Is this a bit" asks the goon in a well white knight. better name call posters that disagree with me, that'll show em! tell everyone that doesn't do it the way it ~should~ be done, or gets started before they really know how that theyre doomed. thatll make me feel better vs Dinosaurs posted:Genuine advice from what I have seen work for a handful of places.

Cigs and lotto tickets are free money, and only come at the cost of bad vibes, which I think this place will already be serving aplenty. "greasy spoon" and/or "bad vibes but cheap" restaurants have been on the outs for at least a decade. Seems like consumer trends and tastes are crystal clear here, and the cost and profit difference is minimal at inception. kastein posted:Having had one of the longest running basket case building repair threads in the forums for the past 11 years and counting, I am here to give you advice.

Apparently it is because you keep name calling. Teachers gonna put us on timeout. Businesses fail when people give up on them or they run out of money. If someone sets a goal, is making progress toward their goal betting against them or tearing them down is just petty naysaying.

You have duly demonstrated you don't know anything about this, so yeah....of course you think he's doing great.

As I've said, I also don't think he's doing "great". Great would be a launched business with returning customers. I agree he's doing the fun parts of starting a biz without the hard work. That's what happens a couple months in, IME. I interpret those facts differently than you do. For reasons my hammer brain cant grasp, you find that upsetting and are name calling because of it. You do you. Theres often a romance period before a marriage. Maybe they make that transition from enamored lust to love, maybe they don't. I do know a little about starting a small business. Currently 3 yrs in 10 employees, steady MoM revenue growth, profitable. How are your business(es)? Is anyone's health insurance for their newborn dependent on Motronic's business? Did you have customers for that business within 3 months of deciding you want to take steps toward starting it? CarForumPoster fucked around with this message at 23:53 on Nov 4, 2022 |
