So let's pretend this is all real. OP, how exactly did you figure that opening a business on top of managing properties would give you more time to spend with your kids? Was that something your wife was going to take over, along with working full-time and raising your young children?

If you plan to open at 5 am (why?) you will need to be there a lot earlier than 4:30 to make all the donuts, right?

We probably don't want to talk rentals. Thread OP is already making enough forum drama without being explicit about his landlording behaviors.

Edit: my head cannon is that he won those properties in wrestling matches.

You have to open at 5 if you want to capture people who head to work early or get a coffee on a jog, stuff like that. When I was a barista we did a surprising proportion of business at 5-8 am. Lots of construction workers.

That said, you also can't close at 1, because you want to get high school lunch traffic and that will definitely go later than 1. In fact, if you want to be profitable, ideally you would be open until after they leave (about 3:30 or 4?) to catch everyone who wants an after-school snack. Then after you lock the doors you need to clean and prep for tomorrow and set dough to rise, so probably leave about like 6

Like 38k a unit. I’m handy.

I’m huge on serving the morning commute because one time I was working in a high rise and the caribou coffee in the one lobby didn’t open until after my break and I wasted my whole break walking there and why in the hell would you open at ten.


And yeah I’m the early going I’m not going to see my kids much more than I do now.

Currently my options are to forego income and be with the family or be at work all drat day and come home crankier than the day before.

If the shop fails they’ll still let me crank bolts with a respirator on.

If the shop blows up I’ll get into the next thing and then the next thing like a katamari. Drive through>>piping fabrication shop>>mechanical contractor >> real estate development >> asteroid mining

Edit: then I’ll be idle rich and I’ll ride around the world in a luxury rv on and extended homeschool field trip

realtalk if there was a drive-through pipe fabrication shop where you could get fresh donuts I don't think any of the other shops would survive.

Local contractors also wouldn't survive the diabetes and congestive heart failure but they would at least die happy.

I googled "rent a donut" and I learned that there exists a business model where customers pay to rent a decorative wall structure covered in assorted donuts.

Maybe OP could consider a new fantasy offering for their shop. They'd probably greatly enjoy the construction portions making all the variously inventive decorative shapes. I'm sure there's no need to estimate how many potential customers in the area actually are having fancy events or parties each month prior to getting started.

He just needs to visit 3-4 more junk auctions at defunct strip joints/pizza parlors to buy crap he doesn't need and then he'll be be good to go.

Hey OP, you know what adds class to any donut store? A High Life pool table lamp so impregnated with cigarette smoke that even the clear parts have turned also turned beige.
