Don’t throw good money after bad. If it’s not working, move on. Shut it down and maybe you’ll feel relieved.

You are one of 50 “web design agency’s” that email or call every single business, every day. This is the absolute dumbest business to start. If you are talented, make your own website selling literally anything other than website design.

No. This is the exact opposite of how restaurant businesses work. With restaurants, you get an initial honeymoon period (people love new restaurants) and then hope to maintain popularity. If you didn’t get the honeymoon boost after opening… Oh boy, it’s just going to get worse.

🤣

Sorry man. Boba shop? 1/2 million dollars?

It’s gone. That money is gone.

So many people mortgage their houses or spend their life savings to open their “dream business” or whatever other romanticized bullshit.

90%+ lose everything. Happens everyday. Over and over. A boba shop? JFC.

Too funny. But sure. You got it all figured out. Best of luck.

Why? Just don’t offer health insurance. Give the employee a raise equal to what you would like to pay. They may even qualify for much cheaper insurance through the ACA. It’s usually foolish for a tiny company to pay for health insurance nowadays. It’s not 2007 anymore.

Maybe. Not everyone fails! If you do it, go as small and low cost as possible to start out.

As for being better. Depends. Most restaurants fail. Which means the manager usually makes more money than the owner and has none of the financial trauma.

Think about the fact that even established, busy restaurants always seem to go out of business eventually. Few last 10-20 years or more.

Oh, you are so confused. When you own a restaurant, you take orders from way more people than when you were a worker. Every customer is a demanding, entitled jerk off with Yelp open and ready to go. You’ll realize very quickly that you are a little bitch at the mercy of the customer. On top of that, you’ll almost certainly lose all of your money through a painful, emotionally challenging year or two of desperately watching the door hoping and praying that these highly critical assholes will come in just so you might be able to stay open a week longer.

Everyone romanticizes owning a restaurant. Everyone thinks they can cook better and run it better than the next guy.

I’m extremely talented in business. And man, that was an awful 2 years of my life that thankfully I was able to come out slightly ahead. The business has since gone through several more owners who all failed miserably.

Best of luck to ya!

This is because 98% of designers suck, but think they are great. It’s a crapshoot.

I don’t understand why Apple would buy them instead of just a simple review system like Google has done.

I always fire employees who do this.

There is no path forward. You know they won’t be happy no matter what. Harbor feelings that you are underpaying. Probably looking elsewhere. Etc. Don’t invest in these people.

If they want to play their hand like that, then they better have a good hand to play.

He didn’t. He lost. Fired.

As much as I want. That’s why I have a management team in place.

Queue all the antiworkers who will swear it’s totally fine to just read books instead of working. 🤣

No, it’s not ok. She should look ready to help, engaging, offering samples, smiling and saying hello to passerbys, etc. There is a reason other vendors sent you photos of her not working. It’s painfully obvious.

“Mental break so I don’t get discouraged”…

She just admitted that she can’t do the job. Fire her.

Nobody uses BBB

Be thankful that your customer complained to them and not Google Reviews. This is hilarious, actually. Just ignore it.

Those platforms aren’t catching on, at all. No legit company is letting their purchasers get paid for pitches like this. 🤣

Ever look at the prospects? It’s just endless thousands of tech bros who you would never waste time pitching.

It’s about what is better for the business.

This. You need a Google Maps (local) listing and a website on it. The website can be simple and informative. Hours, some key stuff that you do. A couple nice pictures of the building inside and out, etc. Doesn’t need to be e-commerce in this case.

Which version of ADP were you using? RUN is simple and cheaper than Homebase…

Why would you trust the advice of someone that “really could use the help” by signing up for the service they are suggesting? I’d avoid Gusto just because of this now.

Yelp is dead. Nobody cares about it. Close your Yelp account and pretend it doesn’t exist.
