I am not a "business expert" but maybe you should open your business and see long customers stay in the store before you expand the loving non-existent parking lot.

Like six cars could park unless we have the drive-through come off the alley which I think will tank volume

Then where is staff going to park? How long before someone parks in the way of the manufacturing business next door and sits down in my store to read the paper?

So yeah another 10-12 spots can really make a difference eat my rear end nerds

You gotta spend money to make money, Lou.

The bigger your investment, the easier it is to make the money back in a low profit margin volatile business.

This is a great idea but what exactly are all 10-12 more customers going to buy?

Wait, what donuts?

Rationale

Flea market donut lady was $2.50 for classic and $3 for filled and there was a line

The dough tasted like the white bread at an Amish restaurant and the rings were huge and irregular

The filling was done by hand which worked fabulously because they used cherry pie filling with whole cherries and all the other fillings were similarly textured

And there was a chewy layer most of the dough was fluffy and tender but right at the outside it had enough snap for contrast and structure

Overall 10/10 very very good

You should hire her to make donuts with all of your equipment. She's probably churning out these very good donuts in her kitchen with a 1 gallon fryer.

your town may have a problem with using a residential lot for commercial parking lot, and you might want to like, check about that before buying a house to do that to
also a donut shop probably does need more than six parking places, I wonder if maybe this crappy old building on a gravel lot with not much parking is really the ideal place to open a donut shop, oh well nevermind just wrassle your way past these obstacles with gumption

If I catch her sitting down I’ll probably be curious but I waited in line for like fifteen minutes and it was longer after I got served she wasn’t chit-chatting

I’ll hold up the line asking dumbass baking questions with a GoPro on my head it’s inevitable why have you done this
