| Coffee experience tour plus roasting Posted: 09 Dec 2018 04:22 PM PST I own a small coffee plantation in Latin America and I'm thinking of opening up shop as a small roaster (9kg) for the tourism industry. I'm thinking selling the coffee by the bag and also offering a coffee tour. To make it even more different the plan is to use a air-bed roaster instead of the usual drum roaster. The area currently has one other coffee plantation that offers a coffee tour. The idea is to provide a niche, intimate tour. I'm thinking $20 per customer for the tour. In terms of location the coffee plantation is well positioned in a highly transited road. I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations/experience from a business perspective.

| Posted: 10 Dec 2018 03:06 AM PST Just retired from the Air Force and am currently contemplating opening a hobby store. Hoping someone that already owns a store wouldn't mind answering a few questions...though any advice at all would be appreciated. About how much of an initial investment did it take to get off the ground? How long did it take you to recoup that investment? How much revenue do you see in a given month/year? Any specific tips that someone might not think of? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Point-of-Sale (POS) retail store. Need recommendations for new non-iPad based solution. Posted: 10 Dec 2018 01:11 AM PST Hi All, So surprisingly there's no subreddit for POS that isn't vendor specific. So I'm looking for some recommendations for a POS system for a retail clothing store. Most POS systems are horrible. I've supported a number of them. They're currently using Retail Pro which has horrible support and an outdated model. This is a super high end non chain retail store. They have 6 cash wraps and 5-7 back office people doing inventory and special events. We'd like to stay away from the iPad based solutions since we've just upgraded PCs for the Cash wraps and they look chintzy) I'd like something that is potentially cloud based with onsite server mirroring. The ability to create your own reports without having to call support and west coast US support would be great as well. Currently a single location, but could potentially go to two or three. Any recommendations and experience would be greatly appreciated. Price is not the biggest concern. Thanks! [link] [comments]  | ||

| Advice to starting a small business Posted: 10 Dec 2018 01:52 AM PST I'm a young experienced pet service professional looking to start a mobile grooming business. A used professional grooming vehicle costs between $30k to $70k obv depending on year make and condition. I had few issues to fund the small business. I have about $30k saved and can sell my vehicle for another 10k. I don't want to use majority of my savings towards the purchase, I cant use an auto loan because it's a business and I can't use a business loan because I'm required to have a business for more than 2 years and personal loans are somewhat high at 10%. I spoke to SBA and from them estimated that my potential gain far exceed expenses. Is there any more options available for loans? Should I just finish the SBA application and see what their rates are? Should I be asking more questions that can help me thrive! Recommendations for LLC or S Corp here in MA or recommendations in general for a SB. Im leaning towards an S Corp after I have more customers. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 10 Dec 2018 12:42 AM PST I want to make some nice product containers with labels and such but everything seems to be so insanely highly priced, anyone have any tips on finding cheaper product packes, Im after soda bottles, metal tins, and resealable bags. Bonus: Also looking where I can get labels printed for less 40 cents a label [link] [comments]  | ||
| Give me feedback on my brand new business! Posted: 09 Dec 2018 07:45 PM PST It's called techcashnow.com I buy used electronics and flip them for a profit. Any advice would be greatly appreciated but I'm mainly focused on marketing right now. I'm sponsoring a podcast, I'm looking into Facebook ads but it seems expensive for cold targeting, I want to wait and use it for retargeting efforts, I'm also advertising with Instagram influencers. Working with a low advertising budget. Thanks ahead of time! I'll answer any questions anyone has about the business. [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 09 Dec 2018 06:02 PM PST I am thinking of opening a ghost kitchen in my area, I'd love to here some insight from fellow eEntrepreneurs, Restauranteurs. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 09 Dec 2018 01:21 PM PST So I'm running about to launch a small buisness selling electronic items online. These items are of high value, ~ $700, and as such I'm rather worried about fraud and/or chargebacks. I can currently bill the credit or debit cards of clients, however the system I'm using doesnt allow me to verify the name , address , etc on the card. How can I check if the name and shipping address they submit during checkout is the same as on a card they use? [link] [comments]  | ||
| Should I report illegal labor practices? Posted: 09 Dec 2018 05:03 PM PST I was recently forced out of the small business I started with my partner. She had me sign away my shares in exchange for a small payout. I know that one of the reasons she did this is because paying me every month was becoming a problem for the company so she's using volunteers for the nonprofit that we sublet to. So volunteers are supposedly working for the nonprofit but are realistically filling in for employees at the business. I know that's super illegal and I don't know what to do. Also, she never withheld taxes or used a payroll company for paying anyone. It was all under the table. I'm no longer with the company, which I think is going to be a good thing long term, but I don't know if I should do anything. I know it's going to hurt me come tax time since I don't even have a 1099. Will I be able to report it to someone when I file taxes? Thanks for any advice. I'm kind reeling right now since getting pushed out and realizing a lot of the stuff she's doing.. [link] [comments]  | ||

| How do I tackle staff disobedience and undermining as a young co-owner? Posted: 09 Dec 2018 01:56 PM PST Hello, fellow Redditors! Me and my parents own a small pie shop in a small neighborhood; we bought the business from the previous owners about 6 months ago. Before that, my father owned a successful cafeteria/bar, but decided to step down after 20 years to attempt something less stressful. Personally, I've been working various food-and-drink related jobs, so I have a little bit of experience in the sector, but it's the first time I have to co-manage an actual business and it's proving really difficult. A little bit of background: ever since we opened the business, we had to face severe issues related to staff and customer service, partly due to our own inexperience. The pie shop offers a traditional type of pie native in my country, and we're the only one in the area to offer delivery services (which is done via mopeds/scooters). This is when we detected the first sign of trouble: some delivery guys here, usually the ones with more years of service, have formed a sort of cabal, blacklisting shops after they've been laid off/quit and coordinate with prospect employees to either not work in the shop or sabotage it, in an attempt to promote their interests. The delivery guy that was working there when we got it was displeased with my father's attempt to boost delivery sales -which would equal more work for him instead of browsing Facebook- so he quit and we learned through a friend on the job that we were blacklisted a mere month after we bought the business. Indeed, we struggled to find a reliable driver for about 3 months. We found a person who was good at his job, but he was asking to be paid extra, undeclared, and when we refused, he'd stall deliveries on purpose or show up late at work. Again, we found out he slandered the shop after he quit. The delivery guy we currently have is much better to work with, but whenever he wants things done his way, he'll passive-aggressively remind us of his ability to 'just lock up his bike and see how we deliver then'. To make matters worse, we also have a baker who used to be an example employee and has now fallen back to a similar behavior. She'll act all nice around me and my mother, but totally disobey my father. I'm aware that this is all my fault, because I'm the 'friendly one' due to my more diplomatic approach, while my father tends to be more on the strict side. However, his requests are just most of the time, and I'm being as objective as possible. Every single time he felt he was a bit too harsh, he'd personally apologize to the staff, and he never ever uses offensive or abusive language; he's just more demanding. The employees are all being paid on time, and what we've agreed upon; it's still not much, but we're a small pie shop struggling to turn a profit, and we're paying as much as we can and within legal limits. They are also allowed to get coffee and food for free, within reason. With the information I've provided above, I'd like to know how to best manage my staff when it's my shift. I don't like ordering people around or being obnoxious, however I realize that being a recent employee and my loathing for boss complexes is actually making me too soft to effectively run a business. I'm afraid I'm supplicating to my employees way too much, and that's possibly because I'm still young (25) and near their age, but the business is in disarray right now and it needs to improve. Can you offer advice on how to be a better boss/manager that can both stand up for his employees but also be assertive enough to get things done? Thank you! [link] [comments]  | ||
| Stock for a farmer's market? (Possibly starting a business.) Posted: 09 Dec 2018 12:59 PM PST I'm not sure if this is the right Reddit, but it seems to be the one that could fit best. I have two questions: 1) How much stock should I have of each item at a typically pretty busy farmer's market? I don't want to buy a make a huge amount of stuff only to not sell anything, as I'm really just starting out. My booth would be related to Zero Waste swaps, like packaging free lotion/shampoo, reusable face wipes + cleanser, wax wraps (for wrapping up food or covering bowls depending on the size.), reusable snack bags made with PUL, and possibly recycled baby clothes (where you take large t-shirts from a thrift store and turn them into onesies.) How much would you make of each item? I've talked to other people who run booths at the markets,and several said I'd do 'fairly well', but I'm still not sure what to expect. 2) Is there any certifications or licensing I may need to sell the cleanser and lotion type stuff? If so, I might not do it. (If anyone has experience in Texas, that would be very helpful, or maybe a website where I can look up regulations for my state/county.) [link] [comments]  | ||

| Posted: 09 Dec 2018 10:22 AM PST Hi all, I'm wondering what some ideas you may have for capital, or some books you can recommend talking about gaining capital for a startup. Example, my girlfriends step mom started and ran a successful wholesale business, but I also remember her telling me about having to work two full time jobs to support herself at one time. I understand it's hard and difficult to do and it sounds like alot of bootstrapping, which is fine, but I wonder what the other methods out there are and I cant find any business books related to methods of startup capital.

| Royalties on patent sold or licensed to Company A, and Company A licensed it to Company B Posted: 09 Dec 2018 06:39 AM PST Scenario: You are Great Company that developed a patent as a joint endeavor with Company A. Great Company and Company A made a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) that says that Great Company wholly owns the patent, but will license/sell it to Company A for royalties. That contract has been fulfilled. Now Company A goes and licenses/sells that patent to Company B. What is your royalty structure on the patent now that Company B owns the patent? Anyone see this type of scenario before? [link] [comments]  | ||
