Given how much interest you’ve shown in making donuts yourself, it’s basically your only hope at this point. Plus robots are less likely to get hantavirus from working in that murdershack.

Big boss asked if I’d stay

They offered clean layoffs because they were cutting from 5x10 to 4x10

I wanted one because it’s springtime and I’m rutting like a moose, like, flapping critters around with my teeth

He said he can probably milk it until august

Unemployment is like $650

Should I ask for something? Does he have anything to offer if they’re scaling back?

Whatever he's doing seems pipe is involved somehow. Maybe that's why he's focused on filled donuts he's got to pipe the jelly in or whatever, & not sure the gun connection.

Dog a restaurant requires ambition and vision. If you’re still hmming and hawing over your last job stop spending money on tools. Food can give back to you but if you’re not on top of the bull you’re under it’s horns.

Man, this is BFC, no one is giving you anything! There isn't any "goon fund" here lol.

You need a business plan for the bank. Maybe bringing some tasty donuts along for the loan officer will help, but prolly not.

I can probably muster a $200k loan if the following things are true:

- paid through future receivables on TBD contract terms, made via daily payments starting 1 months after contract signing
- 3 month history of selling donuts for $3/ea on average with food costs of $1 or less (or 30% food costs on other items, with an average transaction value of >$5)
- average 25k donuts (or >$5 transactions)/month over the same 3 month period

EDIT: I recall you mentioning $3 donuts and 36 seconds/transaction at some point, so that'd be 1000 customers per 10 hour day. The 30% food cost is a pretty standard metric and lower than other estimates you've made. So by your own math this is achievable with some comfort room.

theory != reality, you don't know what youre doing and you refuse to take the steps needed to get real numbers

EDIT2: By these numbers you'd be doing revenue thats roughly 1.5x the average dunkin donuts which has a huge brand, above average takt times, is open >15 hours per day and does ~$6/transaction on average. So by comparison to that your volume numbers seem unrealistic.

yeah this is BFC, you're not getting 200k from me. But given bulk price discounts & a little googling of donut prices, if you've got a volume of like half a million donuts produced regularly, you probably could work up a good business plan & get 200k to support that.

Yea this kinda sums it up.

I am pretty sure I can find the money if he can actually sell some donuts.

That he doesnt know why he may need operating capital if he's already operating is not helping his case tho.
