spacemost posted:Can anyone with restaurant experience speak to his funding goals? The American South is basically a domestic offshore for the US due to lower taxes and things such as labor costs are also much cheaper in the economically depressed rural areas. For Reform it's pretty bleak with 30% of the population in poverty and a per capita income of $11000 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reform,_Alabama

CommissarMega posted:It was mentioned earlier that Wayne's done a lot of prepwork already; the $6000 he wants is just there to cover the bare minimum he needed to succeed. Besides, it's not like he's doing business in upstate New York or anything; $6000 can go a long way in rural Alabama (is Reform a rural place?). It's also not making a full-service restaurant with a pile of different menu items.

Noni posted:Wait, "sous vide" is a cooking thing? I thought that was something you were supposed to yell right before you slap a pig. Basically uses the concept of thermal equilibrium to cook food, so you cook food in special vacuum bags in a bath of water that's carefully controlled by a special circuit. It's pretty much known for different types of meat such as steak which temperature is required for rare or medium so it takes all the guesswork out of cooking things such as meat. Once the meat is cooked it just takes a few minutes of pan searing to add in the tasty layer of spices and herbs.

Shasta Orange Soda posted:Comment from Wayne's thread on hot dog profits dot com from before SA discovered him. He even responded to it, so it's not like nobody tried to warn him. Guess he knew better than to let someone throw filthy hot dog water on his dreams. Also the cart system is a way to build name recognition, customer base and also test the whole market concept before moving on to the risker brick mortar phase.

Sort of the hot dog version of when Congress gets a random rural district the pork barrel contract to build a military plane component?

Pham Nuwen posted:Why couldn't he have stuck to a little shack with a cash register, a sink, a prep counter, and a grill out back? He got extra funding and seemingly went nuts. Because it makes sense to start out with a simple low capital concept and then move on to something bigger if there's local demand. The Doobie story is pretty much the classic example of making all the startup mistakes such as starting out high risk and high capital. Biker Jim from Denver is a good example of how to do things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hJNb6VInOA Basically having the passion to try something new, making a interesting niche product and finally getting a financially solid business to eventually start a sit-down place. etalian fucked around with this message at 02:20 on Oct 28, 2013 |

Pham Nuwen posted:That's the thing, he had a relatively simple low capital concept--he thought he could get a shack together for $6k, even if that would leave him without the 6 months of operating expenses. Goons gave him double that, but because he didn't stick to the original plan, he's not going to get anything actually going. It was "low capital" plan since he didn't do a good estimate for startup costs such as appeasing the vent hood demon or how the building was missing easy access to the sewer main. On top of that there's also the whole need to have adequate cash assets for at least a year of business since the first year is always the toughest.
