Business ‘Entry Pay’ after initial 20

[Schmichael]

Short description: Alter the way in which payment is calculated to a business owner.

Detailed description: Include payment for patrons beyond the initial twenty, at a reduced rate. The first twenty entries offer $1,000 each, however each subsequent entry could offer $200 each, as a way to reward continued openings.

Commands to add: N/A.

Items to add: N/A.

How would your suggestion improve the server?: With the current system, an opened business will reach the ‘daily 20’ (currently not even offering 20k a day, due to uptime) rather quickly during a busy period, leaving any extra time they’re open to offer very little profit. With roleplay being the main focus of a business opening, meaningful and prolonged interactions between business owners, staff and patrons should be encouraged.

Additional information: I own Outlaws and I have two sets of ‘staff’. They open at least once per day, but it’s realistically twice per day - there’s no tangible benefit for a business owner to do this, aside from roleplay.

I believe you are missing the point as to why everyone is playing here.

The thing is tho, business owners are losing money on openings, making opening businesses not viable. Supported.

What I wrote implies that roleplay IS a benefit, but my point was that I can roleplay regardless, without spending hundreds of thousands on a business and having to donate to set up a business ad. I already have things to do and people to roleplay with all day if I so choose, which I’m lucky to have.

 

I spent a lot of money on a business the day before door fees were removed.

 

You’re both misinterpreting something I wrote when I couldn’t sleep at 3am.

I own a business as well. In fact, I own two. However, I don't pay my staff $4,000 per hour to sling drinks. If someone wants a business to make money, they need to be smart with their finances. Don't pay employees $4,000 an hour, don't invest more money than you have, and be fiscally responsible. Otherwise, you probably should not be owning a business. The $20,000 can go a LONG WAY. I understand that you open at least once a day, on either shift, so I agree that the up-time problem needs to be resolved. But, still, $20,000 can go a long way if you know what to do with it.

Heavily support this suggestion as, at this rate, I am struggling to accumulate any profit since $20,000 is not enough to fund staff members.
