loving millennials, don't you know the true way to prosperity is to bootstrap yourselves with a socially acceptable business, not artisanal froo froo crap but old fashioned american fast food like M.C. Doogans or Hamburger Knave

A real question I have is, is your kickstarter actually going to be enough for you to even open the joint

5k is not a lot to start any business and you'd be surprised how quickly that poo poo goes down the drain. What are the other fund sources for opening the place, if any. What's the cost breakdown on the (potential) KS return

Additionally I know you're expecting an amazing performance, but if you don't have the funds to open the place and need 5,000 in internet stranger money, have you budgeted for the potentiality of not turning ANY profit at all for about 3 months to start

Sounds to me like you deliberately shot low on the KS to get SOME funding even though it may not be enough to cover the rest of your startup costs. Have you consulted BFC or A/T at all about running a ristorante

Yeah I've been taking my doubts with a humongous grain of salt but this was just kinda rude. On the other hand, GBS is full of bums

Here's a good article about digital panhandling as it pertains to music. But really substitute the word "band" with "restaurant" or "honeymoon" or "coke habit" and it rings the same.

http://www.metalsucks.net/2015/12/02/digital-panhandling-embarrassing-dumb/

I'm wont to agree with people about crowdfunding and entitlement but holy poo poo is this rear end in a top hat infuriatingly ignorant. It's like he doesn't realize that band members themselves don't make any money off album sales and record labels are extremely conservative—talent is barely part of the goddamn equation these days because talent doesn't sell records†.

The metal press is notoriously as awful as games journalism, yes, but holy poo poo. The entitlement here is palpable. THE REPAYMENT FOR FANS' INVESTMENT IS A loving ALBUM YOU STUPID oval office. FULL STOP.


Records don't really sell at all but what little is sold is mainly based off marketability or presence in the wider market

I'm not an expert here but I doubt 18k (or 18+7.5 = 24.5k) is enough to open your business and keep you from sinking in the first year if you're not turning a profit. Jesus christ.

e: maybe if you were running a truck

Why the gently caress would anyone want to own a restaurant? I've never understood this. Most people who do restaurant work hate it and only do it because they don't have much of a choice. That's why they're high all the time and have drinking problems.

Food service is hard work. It's sweaty and it's gross. Quitting my job to do that poo poo is like the opposite of some beautiful dream.

I want to say that for the record that I think making fun of the OP for his life choices is wrong. If anything, we should praise him for his courage!

what galls me is mainly that there are people who were not trolling or shitposting, who unanimously told him it's a bad idea or calmly explained why this is the wrong place to post the thread, and then tried twice to backpedal by closing it

I wonder if he'll do the same with his restaurant when he discovers running one is different from running a stand in the summer

Alright, I'm back from my cat vacation and would like to say a few things. Gimme a sec.

just depart the thread dude, there's nothing you can say that's gonna change peoples' minds that either you

1) erroneously believe you've got a good shot at success with this, not to mention the effect it'll have on your relationship
2) erroneously posted this thread in GBS in hopes of raising pitybux by the virtue of being a "fellow goon" as some kind of tribal appeal

If you don't care about either of these viewpoints, there's no point trying to change anyone's mind when you don't have enough information to convince anyone you haven't made a huge loving mistake in either case. By all means, go do what you want, quit getting defensive and cut your losses. If you're gonna do it, loving do it, stop endlessly justifying your decision because we all know it's based on feelings and not data, preparation, or significant relevant experience.
