Sounds like a great start! Are you all in Belgium? Did you have some professional brewing experience before?

Do you make a profit on 2000L batches or do you need to scale up?

that looks really tasty user, awesome

I've always wondered with restaurants is it really a case of 'build it and they will come'? Are you in a prime location? How much advertising do you do? Do you actually bake on site or is it bought in to support the ice cream part of the business?

>do you lease or rent or own the property?
Rent, I know the owner very well, got a good deal
>is this a franchise?
No. Small Mom n Pop shop
>Where did you get your starting capital?
Slowly got used appliances off places like Craigslist, cleaned and fixed them up, kept them in garage. Then my family pooled money together. We added the rolled ice cream later after we started profiting
Do you actually make a profit?
Yes
How do you run it under lockdown?
Masks, no indoor seating
How long did it take to get started?
Maybe 2 months
What paperwork did you have to fill out and how are taxes done for you?
I don’t handle that part

sounds like your living the dream, what state if burger?

We're in Belgium yeah.
we brewed before, Like hobbybrewing for about 3 years. Friends of ours teached us. He brewes beer with his dad and they made a whole mobile brewing installation (75l+-) so we used that one at first. started with some easy recipes and went further down the line. we've brewed pretty much about anything but working with gas isn't as accurate as working with electricity. either way, since we've been going to a brewery (we helped to brew our first batch there so we knew what happens in that brewery and their handling etc, you know, steal with your eyes) and our beer has been on point since day one. now we have to keep sales up. Also lucky that they're a pub on every corner of the street here. so gettibg like 100 pubs to try your beer isn't so hard. gettinbg them to return for more is usually a lot harder unless your product is good. and we did good

How has demand changed since the before corona? Are things picking up?

our beer is pretty good, if i say so myself. It hit the market exaclty when noone was going to the pub, so we brought the pub to them. now we're going to have to sustain sales by organising an online beerfestivaletc. it certainly keeps you busy. buthaving a lot of beerdrinkers around you helps alot

we get around 50 perc. return on 2000l. depends every now and then but that's kinda howmuch we get back yeah

Writing cyberpunk screenplay
Animating it
Work all day no pay
Probably put it on torrent sites myself as advertisement lmao

I think you are in the wrong place. This is a place for business, not millennial starving artist bullshit

Thanks for the input ranjeet don’t forget to include your next moonshot in the thread.

unless you're jewish or trans or a trans jew forget about making it in the movies.

I’m a kike in SoCal so I like those odds.

If one would hire your services, what are usual prices?
If one would ask you to do a joint venture, what would be your goals and conditions?

can someone link me the discord server that started the /entg/ threads?

Lost my shitcord account and that server too.

How are you planning to turn this into a business? Sell your services with this cyberpunk project as a convincer?

Yep it’s part of a pitch deck. I’ve formed an LLC and have several novels published with a decent fanbase. My best friend is in the directors guild of America and I’m using this to take it to the next level.

Not shilling my screenwriting I’m trying to sell the script with an animated teaser. I’m proficient at Houdini and vfx hence the moonshot would be the franchise but I’d have to attend temple in Beverley hills to pull that shit off.

Do your parents work in your restaurant?
What made you want to open it?
Did you go to uni?

Congrats btw and it looks delicious.

I believe corona helped our business. We opened in February. And when everything got shit down and cancelled, it seemed the only thing left to do was go to restaurants and post on social media. We have “instagramable” food, so business has been good.

My mom is cake decorator and I had deli and ice cream experience. Not college, just a very entrepreneurial family.
