On the dvd he sets out like 8 dozen bars and then puts on gloves and with one ☝️ finger he stirs up the icing and then with his other hand he dunks the bar and then with his stir finger he wipes the bar one time and then he sets it down. Whole process is like a second per.

Then he takes his gloves off and handles trays again

It’s really slick you can do like a whole tree rack in a half hour

Also the bars are cut with one of those hand rollers and they don’t waste quite as bad as rings geometrically

The main strike against them in my mind is that they’re locally all over the place like you literally can’t find a grocery store that isn’t selling eighty cent “cream sticks” as they’re known here.

Then also the needle filler limits your options somewhat like you can’t make a bar into a sandwich quite so easily.

That’s what I’m always screaming like something doesn’t add up if you’re killing it but you can’t afford to hire it out or automate it.

These fb groups have been a great resource lots of knowledge and wisdom obviously but also morale boosts like this person sells 3k a day and then they’ll ask the internet how to tell if a doctor note is real maybe I’ll be okay

most of those people who run like sole proprietor retail/food service joints are very good about posting (bookended) revenue numbers and terrible about understanding and managing costs

like ok you pull in 3k a day do you pull in (charitably, 250 open days) 750,000 a year in rev? no? hmmm :thunk:

Rule of acquisition #111:
Treat people in your debt like family...exploit them.


My wife and her coworker went to a fancy donut place yesterday to get donuts for their team because they had to be in a 2.5 hour meeting. This is in Orlando but technically the donut place is in Winter Park. Anyway 12 donuts was $60 after tip. She brought home a regular glazed for me and yeah it was good but it wasn't $5 good. I know this place has weird donuts too but I tend to stick to glazed/old fashioned. If anything it was too sweet, too much glaze. Anyway that's my donut story.

Hey OP have you ever watched Restaurant Impossible? Basically every other episode is some guy with absolutely no restaurant experience who decides to open a restaurant because "people always gotta eat!" and then they fail horribly and even with the buzz of being on TV they can't climb out of the hole they got themselves in. Just thinking about that show no real reason.

Hell, there are a lot of genuinely good restaurants that go out of business pretty much the month their small-business subsidies run out, because they're run by a talented chef chasing their dream without the slightest clue how to run a sustainable business. That's what that article someone posted upthread was all about and it's a common story.

Robert Irvine is going to have a field day with this donut shop one day.

It combines all of his favorite things: dilapidated buildings, amateur owners who know nothing about food costs, people who live in the rust belt, and probably not amazing food. And I don't think he's done a donut shop before, so that's a great hook too.

I'd watch.

I'm 99% sure this is intentional poo poo posting, and he's actively trying to post the worst possible ideas of what to do. It's the goons that don't realize that (and the 1% of me that's not totally sure) that makes this a thread that keeps on giving.
