> if you lacked the cash to pay salary you'd have to offer things like equity Do you think the 18-year-old getting a job serving burgers and beers at the recently started sports bar cares about the equity? Most of them would much rather receive $200 in tips on a good night over POSSIBLY having some stake in that bar 10 years down the road. (The one exception I can see, is if the business is owned by her parents.) An equity as a model is suited to another type of demographic working in a different kind of business.
