2023.06.10 00:28 adam1037 Question about profit split
Hi,
I posted this question/situation before but have updates and more context. Apologies if this is considered a duplicate and understood if it needs to be removed for that reason -- appreciate this community as a resource.
I'm not in the industry. I do, however, frequent many establishments. I live in Brooklyn and have been flirting with the idea of opening a cocktail bar for a while. During the day, I run a business that is totally unrelated, is doing well, and is much lower risk with virtually no overhead (leading many people, including my accountant, to ask why I want to get into the bar industry). This context may be helpful, so I'll just add quickly that I think cocktail bars often have one of two problems: 1) signature drinks that are gimmicky, too sweet, and with ingredients people never heard of and/or 2) price points that are bordering unreasonably expensive. If the right opportunity came along where a small space opened in my neighborhood, I figured I'd have a try at opening a neighborhood spot that is priced reasonably, and that cares about quality spirits and classic cocktails.
Well, a space became available. I called and made my pitch and they were interested. Fast forward through some boring details, I needed someone on board who had industry experience, so I connected with a good friend of mine's brother-in-law. We'd met once or twice and he already co-owns a bar in a different neighborhood of Brooklyn. Initially, I just wanted to buy him a beer and pick his brain -- but we ended up discussing partnering up.
Here is where I need advice: the operating agreement. For what it's worth, the OA between my partner and I is already signed, but the lease is still working out some kinks between our lawyers and the landlord's lawyers. In other words, I can still walk away.
What we worked out is that basically all of the upfront money and risk comes from me. We just had our community board meeting and it went well, so that makes me feel more confident we'll get our liquor license (the lease doesn't have a liquor license contingency -- so if for whatever reason we didn't get it and couldn't open, I'd be looking at ~$250K in losses from penalties to the landlord + build out costs). But still -- there's always risk.
The agreement is that once we are open and profitable I get paid back at a 90/10 split until I recoup my upfront costs. After that moment, it shifts to a 70/30 split in my partner's favor. This is what I am here to get opinions about.
He will not be taking a salary. And he is the operational partnemanager and the one with the expertise. How he will split his time between this bar, the other he co-owns, and a restaurant I know he's involved to some capacity out of state...I am actually not sure. But the justification for the split is that he knows what it takes on the day-to-day to run the bar, and that I can be as involved or not involved as I wish.
Maybe this is perfectly fair. But so far, I've been talking to lawyers just as much as him. I had the vision and found the space. I'm working with my girlfriend's family to build out the space. And ultimately, I am the one putting up all of the upfront money and risk, and basically presenting my partner with a risk-free opportunity. In our community board meeting, you can tell the fact that I lived here and had support from locals was an influence on their decision to approve.
My feeling over time has become that after I am paid back, it should become a closer to an equal profit split (FWIW we are 50/50 partners in the business). I don't need to get paid back at a 90/10 clip on my initial investment -- could make it more like 80/20 or whatever, and then once I am whole just resolve at a 50/50 or even 60/40 in his favor.
So before I signed the OA a few weeks ago, I did bring up that 70/30 in his favor felt a bit steep. This was his response:
"70/30 is what I think is fair. Once this initial process of lease and liquor license is done the entire operation falls on my shoulders. I know the extent of what my week will look like operating the space on a daily basis and it’s reflected in the breakdown. The industry standard for investor breakdowns flips to 90/10. But with just me and you alone on this scale I am happy to do the 70/30 so we both make money. I have no intention of hiring a GM. It’s not necessary and by me taking on all the ordering, payroll, hiring, menu changes myself we will cut 100K off the overhead and we both make some money."
This was in the midst of everything getting off the ground and I basically just conceded to keep things moving. I am afraid bringing this up again may just make him throw up his hands and back out; and honestly, given that I already signed it, I can see how it would be lame of me to do so. And I believe it's in the OA that once a year we can review these breakdowns and re-evaluate and adjust if both partners agree.
Sorry if this is long-winded. Guess I'm just trying to take the temperature if 1) at 30% this is worth the risk/investment etc on my end and 2) if I maybe should bring it up (and if so, how).
Thank in advance,

My boyfriend and I have always wanted to do a cross-country road-trip with our two dogs. I have 11 days of PTO left this year and 19 next year. Please leave advice and stop suggestions for the pic I attached of the route! We are thinking of staying more north to minimize driving, but I have interest in seeing certain parks such as Zion, Joshua Tree, etc. We both love art, nature, thrifting/antique shopping, and live music. I really want to enjoy and find all the best little things!

2023.06.10 00:24 EttaBabyBlack Romance in a pending D/S dynamic
I currently have a contracted submissive that I see regularly and have decided to open up my life to a second dynamic. I am vetting a new person and he's basically a perfect submissive for me.
That being said, he is also the same type of person that I would want to date romantically.
I make it a point to not mix romance and sexual intimacy within my D/S dynamics, my domination style is void of intercourse in all ways.
I find myself to be very physically and romantically attracted to this person, and thus have the dilemma of finding out what kind of relationship I would prefer to pursue with this person.
Romance or a D/S dynamic?
I'm having trouble deciding where to go from here. This new potential submissive, let's call him Fairy, has shown that he is also interested in me in a romantic sense as well as in a D/S dynamic. I have been upfront with Fairy about the fact that I don't like mixing my domination with my personal relationships and he has respected that so far.
We have decided to take a break from the vetting process while Fairy goes on a business trip for the next month, but plan on having a discussion when he returns.
Thoughts??? I'm in therapy and know there's a lot to unpack here, but any advice from other dommes about what I could do in this situation would be really helpful.
Thanks!

2023.06.10 00:24 droplivefred Strategies
I’ve been doing DD and UE and GH and enjoyed the strategy part of the job. I liked figuring out which restaurants to target, which areas are concentrated, which restaurants have larger orders, which days and times to work, and even which routes to take back after a drop off to increase the odds of catching an order before getting back to my main zone. It’s been fun.
With IC, I’m not really seeing the same excitement in this process. Am I missing something. With the proximity requirement, my only strategy is to pick and store and sit and wait. I guess going for opening increases the odds of a good batch but other than that, it’s is a very sit and wait system.
It’s driving me nuts. With the other apps, I drive around and feel like I’m doing something but here, it’s like playing a slot machine. There’s so little impact I can have other than which store to pick.
I’m trying to see if there are any proximity circles that overlap in my area to increase me odds but other than that it’s kinda boring.
Am I missing something? Is there more to it?
Also curious, does it matter how close I am to the middle of the proximity circle or is it fine as long as I’m anywhere in the circle?

2023.06.10 00:24 JaysonyFC Searching for Vendors makes me Sad
Hi everyone! My fiance and I are getting married in May of 2024. We're originally from Dallas, TX but currently live in CO. I've been planning our wedding and so far we have selected our venue, a beautiful outdoor nature center with plenty of indoor and outdoor space. They've been incredibly helpful and accommodating and it felt like our first big step towards our wedding day!
However! After that I've hit a complete dead end. I have no idea how to search for some vendors back in Dallas. Im still looking for photographers (likely can't afford a videographer on top), caterers, and decoration rentals. Unfortunately our venue does not provide decorations so everything is on us and I'm having the hardest time find something in Dallas. Would someone please recommend a reliable vendor where we could rent out all the table decorations, such as linen and center pieces? Preferably someone who can help set up too.
We have a caterer in mind who is a friend of the family but they unfortunately can't provide everything. We took this as an opportunity to offer something more comfortable and are considering hiring an elote cart who can also provide agua frescas and traditional paletas! Problem is.. how do I even start?! Googling only does so much and I just can't find a site or platform that provides this resource. Can someone help me with that? It's not like I can just walk up to my local elotero and ask...
Lastly, I understand photography can be one of the largest expenses and I completely understand paying for quality. The only issue is that it's a small wedding and our budget is too tight to afford anyone over $1000. While I'm sure I can find photographers in the area, I also don't want to offend anybody. How can I approach a photographer respectfully if I love their work but can't afford them? Are there alternatives? What can I expect with less than $1000?
I apologize if this all seems too common sense but I really need help. I've tried looking at websites like TheKnot, Zola and Wedding Wire but I'm just not finding what I need. It's hard enough planning a wedding a few states over when I barely have time to visit.. Any and all advice would be welcomed! If you're a vendor in Dallas, TX who can help me with photography, decoration rentals or catering please feel free to reach out to me!
Thank you everyone! God bless

2023.06.10 00:23 falconfall231 How is accounting and finance in Atlanta?
How is accounting and finance in Atlanta? Are there a lot of variety of jobs and are they flexible (hybrid)? Can anyone who works and lives in Atlanta offer me some insight? I have a friend who lives there, unrelated to accounting, who I could crash with and get help if needed. That is why I would rather be in Atlanta vs Houston or something like that. I have no connections to accounting in the Atlanta area.
I am about 8 hours drive from Atlanta and there isn't much around where I am it in regards to accounting and like no finance. There are not really any major businesses and only small kinds of businesses. I got off about a month ago and got a new role recently and it is painfully boring small PA firm. I don't want to do this job or PA for the rest of my life.
I graduated at the end of 2019 into covid and couldn't get anything till January of this year. I was not wanting to move because of the economy and Covid. I also passed the CPA exam in the mean time for whatever the exam is worth. I am about to be 28 and feel it is coming time to move onto something a little bigger. There is this one guy in the office who is older than me and I don't want to end up like him. I feel behind at 28 years old.
I was thinking of staying for another 12 months or so to get a year on my resume and to get the license (I would be getting the license around March of next year probably. I am living at home with my parents and was thinking I could just save like a Mfer in the mean time.
If I had a year and a half of experience would I be able to get an accounting or finance job in the Atlanta area?

2023.06.10 00:23 JorgeHoward Question about picking up orders from restaurant..?
Soo my mom currently delivers for door dash as a from of supplemental income. I want to help her out by earning some extra cash and get her ratings/acceptance up and I currently have her log in info.
So my question is, if I were to log into her account and try to accept some orders, would the restaurant know it wasn't her picking up the food and it was me? Like do they ask or check your picture/info when picking up a door dash order? I feel like it wouldn't be a big deal who's doing the work as long as the orders are getting delivered but I don't want to accept a delivery then walk into the restaurant to pick up an order and someone freak out on me saying, you're not "mom's name" what are you doing? Are you trying to steal food? blah blah blah
Anyone have any experience or insight on this? Thanks

*** It is so dead now that the homeless don't even go there!***
In the late 90's to around 2003 this place was pretty lively day and night. Since then it is literally a ghost town. We visit every couple of years and it doesn't change. Sad because it was a great place to take a date, family, friends & solo. From fire pits, restaurants with water views to boat tours & rentals. No more.
Fisherman's Village is a waterfront mall, commercial boat anchorage and tourist attraction located in the world's largest man-made small boat harbor in Los Angeles County at Marina del Rey, California.

2023.06.10 00:22 EarthWarping [Pincus] The team is believed to be looking for a home for John Collins, but some whispers abound that Dejounte Murray could be had in the right deal.
Murray is due $18.2 million this season but may not be open to an extension limited to a $25.4 million starting salary. Unless Atlanta can shed significant salary elsewhere, they may not be able to afford Murray at his current price, let alone on a new deal in his likely asking range above $30 million.https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10078715-two-3-team-trades-to-make-james-harden-think-about-the-houston-rockets
That's where Porter, with his long-term stretch, could help the Hawks under the luxury tax entirely. It would probably take the No. 4 pick, along with other considerations.
The Rockets get Towns to pair with Harden, a very different look than Green in the Warriors scenario. If Udoka expects a defensive roster, the front office would add two high-powered scorers who aren't nearly as impactful on the other end.
Once again, Houston gives up one of its top three prospects, No. 4 and other considerations. Would the Timberwolves say no to Murray and Smith for Towns? Do the Hawks turn down No. 4 and other playedraft pieces from Houston for Murray?
And there's enough flexibility to configure it in different ways, with Murray to the Wolves, Smith to the Hawks, throw in No. 20 or a Brooklyn future first—Collins could be added to the equation from Atlanta. There would be fertile ground for conversation if the three franchises were so motivated.
Or maybe Minnesota and Houston just leave the Hawks out, and Minnesota goes for younger pieces in volume from Houston and figures out a point guard later.
The Rockets have the cap room, young players, draft picks and Porter's magic bullet contract. The starting point is a "yes" from Harden, but Houston may not get that without lining up the trade possibilities first.
2023.06.10 00:21 dylan0o7 I think my gf is cheating on me and I'm too depressed to care about it or confront her
I planned 2 weeks ahead for a date with her and she arrived 1 and half hours late and only spent an hour or so with me with half of that time on the phone or in the bathroom of the restaurant. She also dressed up extremely well (she'd never dress like this for me). She said she had a dinner with a "new client" which was work related later that night, it was a guy and on a Friday night??. She apparently spent 4 hours with this dude and got home at 11pm. I don't know if this is the normal lifestyle of graphics designers, I'm an engineer and this sort of things that she tells me about that goes on between her and her clients are just weird from my perspective because in my line of work things work differently. I rarely even meet my clients on anything other than teams and it's a 5 minute call.

2023.06.10 00:18 Pitiful-Special1472 23 [M4F] Europe - Cute anime husbando looking for cute anime waifu!
If you're a person, there's a 99.99% chance I'm not right for you. Consider skipping to the bullet points below before going through the wall of text.
The term "hopeless romantic" is a bit overused, but I do overly romanticize the idea of a relationship. The problem is, my expectations are unrealistic. To be clear, this is one of the most significant reasons I'm single. I'm literally one of those idiots with a list of checkboxes to tick and seemingly there isn't a person on Earth who ticks all of them. This is my little personal Fermi paradox - could I really be truly alone in a world of ~8 billion humans?
In a way, we're all alone in our minds. But I still feel like if I met the right person, we could understand each other on a deeper level. A level of understanding we just don't have with anyone else. It's this connection I seek. I'd rather have one relationship with a person I'd be happy to live and die with, than a hundred hedonistic flings.
I don't believe in soulmates just because I don't believe in supernatural stuff in general. And if I did, I'd feel wrong calling myself just half a soul. But the term exists because people who invented it had relationships that made them subjectively experience a connection that's special. One day, I hope to have that in my life as well. And considering how my odds are so low that I might as well call it magic if I succeed, my search for a high compatibility partner is similar to a search for a soulmate.
Sometimes I wonder. By the year 2100, I almost certainly will have either given up, died alone, or found someone and died not alone. It'd be nice to know the outcome, but maybe it's even better to see it happen.
This post is not trying to talk you into contacting me. It's just information about me so you can decide that for yourself. If you're not convinced, then I don't deserve to have you, simple as that.
It'd be best if you wrote a short introduction, but I'll respond even to a "hi". I also have a little conversational game prepared if you're into that.
Please include the 27th prime number in your message.
As long as this post is up, I'm looking to find you, even if it's years old.

Introduction
I have zero girlfriends and I would like to increase that number to one. I have absolutely zero reason to believe this will work, but I don't need to believe, I just need to make the post. Sometimes in life, if you want to see change, you try to bring change, whether there is hope or not.The term "hopeless romantic" is a bit overused, but I do overly romanticize the idea of a relationship.

Compatibility
- I'm looking for someone with traits and opinions similar to mine. After all, you don't have to make a compromise if you don't disagree in the first place! Of course some disagreement is welcome, fun even, but too much of it and there's not much of a reason to stay together. So be your own unique self, and see how many of my bullet points apply to you.
- I would also hope that you also know what kind of person you're looking for and you have reason to believe I might be suitable.
- Please do not play the favorites game (i.e. namedrop bands, movies, etc.) early on. Yes, I think Skyrim is great and Kimi No Na Wa is the best movie ever, but your taste in music doesn't tell me anything about how our daily interactions will go.
- I don't think MBTI or Enneagram are super accurate, but they're useful for giving a quick idea about my personality. "INTP 8w7" says more about me than "I like Italian food".
- This also means I care more about personality than looks. Obviously I have visual preferences, and so do you, but the personality barrier is hard enough to get over.
- I used to find the phrase "like someone for their flaws" dumb. But some things that society considers "flaws" could be exact thing someone special likes about you. I have lots of flaws like that.
- Similarly, you might have "flaws" I could find really attractive. In the end, dating is just a game where you try to find people with the same mental disorders.
- Age-wise all I care about is that we're in similar stages of our lives. Be old enough that your parents no longer have authority over you, but young enough to climb a tree.
- Location doesn't matter to me. I'm looking for online at first. I'm willing to relocate or travel together in the long term.
About me
- I'm an INTP. It's a nerdy, funny, not very emotional type. More chaotic than organized.
- I'm a 8w7, which is a bit unusual for an introvert. I'm more confident, a bit more adventurous (if words like that mean anything in dating bios). I can be assertive, but I don't like to boss others around. Basically, I still rehearse my lines before I order a pizza on the phone, but I actually end up making the call.
- I'm heavily introverted. A confident introvert might look like this. I don't like large crowds and prefer smaller groups. As in, groups of 1 to 2.
- Though I don't entirely follow any one philosophy, I like Stoicism and can be seen as stoic myself. I'm in control of my own emotions, and I'm still surprised how many adults are not.
- On a D&D alignment chart, I'd be a Chaotic Neutral. I highly value personal freedom, which is why I'm not committing myself to good nor evil.
- I'm an atheist. Yes, technically an agnostic, as most sensible atheists are, but I find that people who call themselves agnostic do so because they're uncomfortable with the more divisive label.
- I'm frugal, I like minimalism, and I'm interested in Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE).
- In my free time I like to immerse myself in the fictional worlds of anime and video games, because fantasy is often more interesting than reality. I also like being outside, hiking in nature.
- I'm 99% sure I want a childfree life. If I ever change my mind, it won't be anytime soon.
- I am exactly 1cm shorter than you.
- White skin, dark hair, about average weight.
- I'm a demisexual.
- Love languages are quality time first and physical touch second.
Dealbreakers
These are things I'm just not into. Nothing wrong with them, but they are not traits I'm looking for in a partner. Opposites do not attract in this case. Please don't message if they apply to you.- Religious people.
- Extroverts, "social butterflies".
- Piercings, tattoos.
- Drug addictions, cigarettes, excessive drinking (drinking in moderation is fine).
Contacting me
Please send me a reddit DM (envelope icon), not a reddit chat (speech bubble icon) because I notice DMs way quicker.It'd be best if you wrote a short introduction, but I'll respond even to a "hi". I also have a little conversational game prepared if you're into that.
Please include the 27th prime number in your message.

2023.06.10 00:16 Fur-tastic_Wolf Questions on sexuality, gender and all that
Okay so basically I made this post to try and have answer on what actually qualifies me? Not that I feel like I don't fit and that I need to, just that I am planning on doing my Coming Out to my mother ( I live alone with her, dad is homophobic cause of trauma) but I only plan to do that when I can actually describe where the hell I fit, as to not make a mistake myself.
So here are some basic infos :Let's start from the beginning, I was born male but never really fitted but in more details,
Around 5-7 years ago I identified as Bi-curious but later on noticed that bi was more appropriate,thing is that since I were a child, I never liked the imposed "masculinity" all males are subjected to, so to keep myself from getting ostracized from society I just created a persona, a "mask" so to say, it has been around 3 years since I started to not use that "manly man" persona, that was a good thing but as time goes on I am more and more lost, first of I at first thought I was JUST Bisexual but in reality I have noticed that in terms of sexuality I am more towards Pan-sexuality, that for me is pretty clear.
Now the part that I have a lot of trouble with is gender, I always felt I'd prefer being female, I just made myself forget it before, since then well mentalities evolved and I had the chance to get a VR Headset and I was a tad bit addicted at first because of simply being able to be a cute girl in VR, I felt much more at ease, I was more open too I had never been to social but it felt like it helped immensely.So a conclusion would be trans right? but here's the problem, even thought I deeply despise my current appearance due to my birth sex, I can't bring myself to give it up I read every thing about hormones treatment I could find, I know the good and bad sides of it. I don't think I'd ever want children but for some reason what really fucks with me(excuse the language) is the infertility, it makes a lot of sense and (for now?) there's no way to keep that from happening, I hate my beard, I hate my muscles, that's just how I've lived my life.
Ah yes, to help justify why I think Pan defines my sexuality, basically be it a ftm/mtf/f/m or even agender ( Though since I'm a bit dumb I'd have trouble addressing them, cuz pronouns ), I feel both romantic and sexual attirance towards them, but if I have to pick one, well I'd pick 2 those would be mtf and male.
If you're reading this, well first thank you for trying to help some random peep on the internet, I really appreciate it, this is still pride month and I don't want to just stay in the corner for ever, I hate having to hide shit from my mother I hate not being able to tell her about my real likes and all that, basically I hate pretending to be someone I'm not, I proudly wear a pride badge in my social life but my private life thinks I'm the straightest dude on earth ( What a lie that is ! )
If this wasn't precise enough and you need more info, even if it can be related to a sexual topic ( in that case please use spoilers and warning [ Keep this PG !! ] ) just ask away in the comments, just don't forget to mention me !
