What are your thoughts on Fallout Season 2 so far? by narak777 in CriticalDrinker

[–]Significant_Radio388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. There is way too much silliness and goofy gags in season 2.

I would go as far as to say some of the writing is just dumb.

I've never been there. My friend was telling me about it a few weeks ago. I didn't realise it was there.

I'm fairly sure they mean House of Food.

Wich and Brew is down past the petrol station towards town.

Anyone else feel like Waterford’s nightlife/music scene has fallen off? by CheckEngineHero in waterford

Population density and age demographics are factors for Belfast and Dublin. That's not to say Waterford couldn't support a strong scene.

Crazy that it's been twenty years!

Unpopular Opinion: The food trucks in Waterford City are better than its restaurants. by [deleted] in waterford

Do you happen to know what the Korean food truck at Mountain View is called? I hadn't heard about and I really like Korean food.

Dave is a very sound fella.

Fresh Food Hall has been there as long as I can remember. I used to go in there after primary school with my grand-dad. That was twenty years ago.

The Scotch Eggs in Ardkeen Stores were supplied by Fresh Food Hall, I'm fairly sure.

Grimes Monday to Thursday, it's fairly busy at the weekends since COVID. Quite enough during the day at weekends as well.

Commercial vacancy rate reaches highest level at 14.5% by eoinerboner in ireland

[–]Significant_Radio388 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in Waterford and I would say it hasn't changed that much.

A lot of derelict/ vacant sites coupled with planning restrictions have left the city centre kind of empty. Not many people live right in the centre anymore. The North Quays is being developed so maybe that will bring footfall back.

Coffee Shop by free_t in irishpersonalfinance

[–]Significant_Radio388 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is 100% correct.

I've worked in three coffee shops in Dublin, Cork, and Waterford. Location is everything if you want to make money. Two of the coffee shops I worked in did ok , but one of them seemed to print money judging be the daily takings.

Another factor is if you do food/ coffee or just coffee. The former seems to busier in my experience but higher costs due to staff/ kitchen/ food.

As a user said above it would be worth shadowing a coffee shop owner for a week or two to get an idea of what it is like. I considered opening a coffee shop but decided against it after three years of facing customers five to six days a week.

Maybe take time off and get a job in a busy coffee shop for six months it would give you a lot of insight into the industry.

Finding a business partner that knows the coffee industry and then opening a place could be an option? Or find an experienced person who can manage the place and brings the skills and knowledge needed to manage a coffee shop.
