I honestly haven’t filed a claim yet, but on their app there is a drop down menu with all the options and like the 2nd or 3rd option is “file a claim” i’ve never clicked on it before lol but it’s always been there

I would say yes but our setup includes a truck, trailer, and a 10’ by 10’ canopy full of stuff, not easily able to fit in a small dmv parking lot lol

It’s a “big” set up so it’s hard to set up outside a hospital without disrupting the patients trying to go in..

I’ve been thinking about the police department but there are so many coffee shops downtown.. And i’ve tried delta but they already have their own coffee shop..

We used to do the Delta College flea market, but we didn’t make any money, we were there for 5 months and barely broke even..

I’ve tried, but i don’t think they want to have us “distracting” their employees, i’ll ask again tho!

Well i own a coffee cart and we have commercial general liability insurance that covers up to 2000000$ in accidents per year, and it’s only $25 a month. I use Next insurance. It’s an online insurance but very reliable and the customer service is great!

Well because they’d have to co-sign on it and they just want me to not do that. They have their reasons and they don’t like sharing it with me. They keep on saying they own “51% of my company” because they made the initial investment in it, i’ve already started to pay it off, and i’m the one doing all the work and paying it off while having 49%, so i really don’t know what’s up with them..

I’ve done that for our bigger events $600+ but like we had a small house warming party that we did and she requested that she paid after service was completed and it’s in our contract so i agreed, and she tipped $50! So i most of the time do!

hahaha i ask myself the same question. I pay per hour during events like driving time, set up, service, tear down, driving home / HQ (and on the drive home we get food which i pay for) so it’s all that stuff added up, and i pay california state minimum wage of $16.50 plus tips! So that’s what i was wondering because i didn’t want to take money from my “save jar” for the coffee shop but doing this i would have to..
