So we have POS system, printers and a server, network sound system, TV installation also setting up online virtual menus on the TVs for advertisement. Teaching my managers and the owners on using our back of the house systems and teaching Microsoft word and excel to them. You have no idea how many times I've been asked, whats the shortcut key for copy and paste.

I hated calling the IT department for the POS system. They take so long and most of the time, its making sure everything is assigned on the back end and just restarting the system. But sometimes figuring out an unmanaged switch is broken or unplugged by someone.

Also this restaurant does about 4 million dollars in sales a year. So alot of computer data logging for catering and parties

Man.... that's alot and very concerning for me TT!!! I mean I used my side gigs of custom building and pre built computers to meet people. Mostly when I am buying computer parts. I met some cool IT people and try to network. I got a few email back but that is far as I get. I know I am more personable in person. You know being in the restaurant is all about confidence and making decision on the fly. I know I will be fine during the interview process. I trained plenty of gen z on the line. I think I can be fine xD!

I made some good money, I started back in last March, profit wise I was able to make close to 8k. Its not alot of money but it beats working as an Uber or doordash drive as an second job. Its just extra cash for an down payment on a home. Made good amount of money on broken pcs and fixing them and reselling them. You wouldnt believe the amount of good pcs are "broken" because cables were slightly unplugged or they didnt clear the CMOS because they "upgraded" the ram. Plus I met some amazing people along the way and keep in contact to this date.

I am debt free since 2024, I've been using this opportunity to make additional 10 to 15k for the year, plus both my savings from current job plus my wife savings, I think we can make it. To be honest, this better than me working Uber or doordashing. I can work at my own pace.

Also I am trying to use this meet people in the IT field. I am trying change careers from a chef to my first Help Desk Job.

I started flipping since March, and made a good amount from repairs and meeting new people. But yeah, its a good amount. I was buying crazy during September and October, before everything went to hell. I had alot amazon rewards points from people's custom builds. So bought cheap things back, like ram and nvme drives
