Lopen 09/06/25 1:08:39 AM #18:	One person thing is probably whatever resale job you can think of that has the most valuable inventory-- and the inventory has to lose value if not sold which is why I think something like video rental store (not that these exist anymore, but like a comic book/trading card/hobby shop would be similar) is wrong. I actually don't think it's restaurant because I don't think the initial on hand inventory demand is as high-- I know people who have middling income who have successfully started food trucks. A grocery or general store maybe? That's where my mind is. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! <cite>Lopen posted [p:986317181] in What's the...

foolm0r0n 09/06/25 8:54:40 AM #29:	Lopen posted... I know people who have middling income who have successfully started food trucks Food trucks have 1 or 2 orders of magnitude less startup and labor cost than a restaurant, which is why restauranteurs do them before opening a brick & mortar. There's also an interpretation of "least profitable" which includes the chance that you will make profit. If you have high startup cost but your chance of making it back is good, then it's profitable even if it will take a while. Like buying real estate or something. Restaurants have high startup and labor cost AND low chance of ever turning a profit so it's gotta be that. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance <cite>foolm0r0n posted [p:986318891] in What's the...
