My dad wants me to start a food business with him. I'm a NEET, never been employed, and since I plan to get into the food industry in some way I've brought up the idea myself before, but it's always seemed like something out of my depth. As tempting as it is I think it's ultimately a bad idea. I seem to be putting far more thought than my dad is into the danger of ending up in my 30s saddled by the debt of a failed business in my 20s. He says all these things like "we won't fail if we plan ahead properly and make sure to be clever about it" and how he had a small company twenty years ago selling photographs to publishers, as if that's anything to do with the skills required to run a food company. He brushes off the idea of what we'll do if the business fails with "we just have to not fail in the first place".
It's annoying how I'm the one in the position of shutting down my 50 year old father's crazy overly-optimistic ideas, isn't that the opposite of how it usually goes?

>>319207Does he have good ideas? What are they? Does he have a lot of recipes? Has he managed a restaurant before?
At least your dad is involved and calls you more than once a year. At least he includes you in things and thinks of your existence. Whenever i read or watch stories of parents who are actively involved with their child and trying to know them, involve them and the daughter/son just blows them off or mocks them it makes me so disgusted with you ngl. I have been wanting to vent about every instance I've seen of this shit for years because its everywhere and never get a chance. Well I finally found it, better take cover !

in reality, the global economy is on a downturn and people are tightening up their belts due to economic pressures.
I would strongly urge you to consider declining this offer, this is not the time to be opening a business without being able to to afford losing it.
In my corner of the world, people are buying less luxuries, being conscious about their spending overall and have seen an enormous amount of businesses closing.
Think about the amount you would put in to the business, could you do it twice? If not, you can't afford the risk.
Think, will this failing stop you from living a comfortable life in the future, owning a home and travelling?
Good luck nona with whatever you choose,regardless.

Frankly, if you have no training or experience in business administration, it will be a huge frustration and a waste of time. If you and your father are so keen to start this business, you should pursue one or both of those things before you begin. But it's worth a try; working for others as a NEET for so long is a complete mess.

Open the business debt free with your dad, however that works for you. You can start by offering small catering for parties to experiment with different dishes and make money to buy a truck and start by doing local events…build from there.
I sold my car, worked for 2 years a crazy amount of hours (like 70 hrs avd a week) cashed out my 401k, and built up my own dog grooming business. Took me and my amazing husband $18.5k and 18 months (only 1k build cost a month) with youtube guidance to finish buiding my 160sqft shed.
I have been open since 2024 and been making a steady $4k a month net since month 4. The key was opening debt free, and now the income is split 25% taxes, 25% business expenses and upgrades and 50% net.
You can do it, just takes a LOT of sweat equity to do it without being owned by loans and silly expenses.

You can try to convince him to put the idea on hold at least till the gas crisis and other problems stop for a while, because you need gas to cook unless you plan to use firewood or electricity.

Americans scream tyranny is wonderful, but Americans are unable to explain why Cubans try to escape even though Cuba has gun control and free medical care.

this is a bad idea, nona.
most restaurants go out of business in less than three years. that shit is HARD. you have to work a lot, you have to have a bunch of skills, and no, just because you know how to cook for yourself or your family doesnt mean you know how to cook fast, efficient and reliably for a bunch of people. very different skillset, plus the planning, the financial management and so on.
i have no idea why people always think restaurants are something easy to do. no one in their right mind would open a mechanical workshop without knowing their shit, or start carpentry or something. yet somehow people think having a restaurant is something you can just do?
>He brushes off the idea of what we'll do if the business fails with "we just have to not fail in the first place".
This man shouldnt handle money and you shouldnt get involved with that.

Does anyone get the feeling that if our overlords decreed that everyone must have their thumbs amputated, Americans would agree that the law makes sense and must be obeyed?

Maybe no one trust cops anymore because the Stasi have decided to work for the elites now instead of respecting the Bill of Rights.

Wow.
Americans are so depraved now that Americans say that mandatory vaccines that kill people are just fine because the lives of others don't matter.
