I can give my take on the bakery idea. I worked at a Bagel shop for a little over a year. It was a horrid job; but I think my emotionally stunted, wacko, sexually frustrated boss made it worse than it really was? If you took that waste of space Boss out of the question, running a bakery might be a good move. 1. If you are not a morning person--forget about it. Getting up at 3:30 a.m. is something beyond jarring, especially if you are a night owl. 2. Look for a long term lease. 3. Buy all used equipment. 3. Keep your prices low. 4. Give away product--get your name out there; product ingredients are dirt cheap(Sysco). 5. This next line of advise is more important than the rest. Treat your employees like you would like to be treated. Your average employee will most likely be young, strong, and a hard working--if treated right. If you treat them right--you won't need to put two hidden cams over the registers and back door. You sound like a nice guy, so I don't think being nice will be hard. I would be interested in opening a bagel shop in the Bay Area. I have all the recipes, and working knowledge, and some cash to invest. Respond to this post if you want to talk about a partnership? (If Roger ever reads this; you were my boss and treated me horrid. I'm not quite sure what I did, but I think you thought I was the reason the girls despised you? I took a lot of crap from you, but I got more than my fair share out of that hell hole. Yea--It was one for you and one for me. Your attitude helped pay off my student loan--thanks!)
