Could the donut shop have an $8 per month subscription that gave you the ability to skip to the front of the line?

Rationale posted:Literally what can I do if they set up across the street? Stop them? Pivot to Tex-mex? Does your area have a good success rate of mom & pop stores and cafes against large chains? Like some hipstery areas can prefer non-chain establishments, but is your area generally more comprised of chains or mom&pop places? If there are none, there probably were a couple decades ago.

Scientastic posted:OK, so on the assumption that this thread is not a long con troll, you need to take a step back and rethink this. It is vanishingly unlikely that you can build a successful sustainable business if you’re rushing. Also if you don't have time to learn how to do your job, how will you have time to actually do your job when you open the place?

Strategic Tea posted:Do people genuinely never drink instant coffee? Like I love getting the fancy stuff and brewing it different ways but cmon at least half the time I want to just boil some water and pour it in a mug and have a drink that doesn't take 5 minutes to set up That last part is the key here. When I go to donut shop that looks like a crack house in the middle of nowhere I expect to be served drip coffee that was brewed 6 hours ago, not instant coffee. Have some standards!

LanceHunter posted:In some other online forum, OP's wife is posting her version of all of this; receiving encouragement and praise from all the people in her thread who see the well-detailed business plans and clear understanding of the path forward. You are mistaken. Nobody will believe her donut business could succeed because she doesn't have wrestling trophies.

Rationale posted:When they raid my crib but I’m making doughnuts and when they come to get me at the shop they’re stalled at the display cases like vampires Have you considered making your avatar into reality? Thin wafers of another dough for the hands and a bit of glaze for the ring? People would travel long distances for that. I made a proof of concept picture!

I realized this thread is like hairdresser's. They are one of the few businesses who can advertise by showing stock photos of cool haircuts, instead of things they did themselves. And this donut shop also explicitly shows photos of donuts they might possibly make, but have no evidence of making.

The X-man cometh posted: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. 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.

Admiralty Flag posted:Lifehack: every day you don't make donuts is a day you postpone your dreams and ambitions If you never actually release your product you never really fail. I'm also a fan of the Star Citizen thread and Chris Roberts has a similar approach, except he's raised $500M+ by saying he's going to make the best
