How come no one has suggested making donuts to order ala Duck Donuts? They’re good, only cake but that’s ok because yeast donuts aren’t as tasty. Serious question though how come California has lovely donuts?

What about increasing automation? If you could find some sweet used Fanucs or Kukas then you wouldn’t have to work as hard. Work smart not hard. Robot donuts would actually be a cool catch and help differentiate your shop. People might even go out of their way to be served donuts by a robot.

Robots all the way, especially used ones so they’re on the cheap. They’re just a bunch of wires and motors anyway ain’t no thing for a skilled tradesman or his buddies.

Tried voodoo donuts at universal studios. Very not impressed. OP what about selling cider mill donuts and cider in the fall? Those are kick rear end, and the only people that don’t like them are communists. Or sell them all year long because they’re loving delicious.

corgski posted:Let's do that math together, you're saying that selling 480 donuts will net you $550 per day pure profit after materials, labor, insurance, accounting, utilities, etc which you can then use to cover the costs of a full renovation and all the durable goods needed just to get your business to the point where you can legally open your doors on day one. Before taxes. Don’t forget that, I bet OP will. Like I’m not a “lawyer” or any fancy degree non journeyman card law guy, but I’m gonna stick my neck out there and will say that not paying taxes is “bad.”

What if you had a food truck, but it was a drive up food truck? Then you wouldn’t have to worry about a building. Like two sketchy cars driver window to driver window in a Walmart parking lot, but you’ll own the parking lot and there’s donuts.

Why are you waiting for a building or a food truck? Get some foldable tables, make some donuts, and sell them lemonade stand style THIS WEEK. Just do it, go, see if people start paying you money for donuts now. Not a joke post!

Rationale posted:I’m low-key proud of my tailgate rig but I really need a proofing cabinet to make it sing. Assuming you’re not trolling, even if you are kudos very committed. Just sell the donuts. Now. Do it. Would you need a business permit and food safe certs? Ehh maybe? If you ethically made safe clean food, cops won’t bother you with a cutesy folding table in a parking lot. Give them a donut, and say you’re trying to break in to the donut biz. 100% truth. Either your donuts can make you cash now, or they never will. Then post pics.

How is a thread about starting a “business” not BFC content? And By business I mean selling stuff without starting a business on paper, getting licenses, paying taxes, etc. The donut drama must continue. And also without the selling so far.

Train by making donuts and selling them from a folding table on your building property. Trunk acceptable if it’s a station wagon.

OP have you tried getting a sandwich board that says “Donuts 4 Sail” and then selling them out of the pickup bed yet? Make some money, bootstrap your business up all the way to the top. Surely you could get one of those big gas station style coffee dispensers too, and sell that too!

Rationale posted:Yeah the next venture will probably be to hire 4-5 trades people and have them refurbish liquidated equipment, hot swap it into restaurants that are desperate to stay open, build and deliver prefab wet walls, fit out food trucks, lots of untapped value in the equipment auctions. I bet a restaurant would pay drat near msrp for used equipment that’s making food two hours after their poo poo broke down. Maybe you could ask restaurants what they’d be willing to pay for a massive inventory of equipment for emergency install. In a small market, without food safe certifying the equipment they’d be buying from you. I wouldn’t count on the Perkins for business though.

I already know the answer, but OP have you sold any donuts you’ve made for USD? Also reselling donuts other people made for CAD or EUR would also be good things, but I assume the answer is the same.
