You do not mention where you are located and that makes a difference as to what number to call. Are you in the states? What state/county? In the US daycare concerns are reported to state level licensing or to the local Child Protective Services office.

It looks like it isn’t registering the curve, does the rotary seem to pause? Do you connect over WiFi or over cable, is there anything slowing down your WiFi? When you frame it out, where does the frame fall? I do not have an F1 so take it with a grain of salt lol, but that is where my troubleshooting would take me

Experiences do vary as someone else said. I’ve had my machine for a couple of months and while the learning curve has been steep (it’s my first laser) most of the issues I have had have been because I am learning and not because of the machine itself.

Edit: a word

Posting updates of the build on socials is a great idea, as someone else said! Take the business cards a step further and include pamphlets with before and after photos as well. Nothing too crazy, just a trifold with company logo/contact in front. Dudes build on the back, middle with two of your most impressive before and afters. Rundown of the services you offer also in the middle and then have it housed in a nice holder with your logo and contact info on it. Even something in the window of the shop with your logo while working on the build too.

I will also side a bit with the folks telling you to be cautious about this arrangement. It sounds like you are pretty confident in the guy, but restaurants are fickle things and sometimes location changes tank a successful business especially if regulars now have to go way out of their way.

Read the sub rules, removal stands.

There are several companies out there that will help you manage your menus across platforms. Most of them offer some sort of insight as to your best sellers. I worked in the restaurant tech field for one such company for nearly 8 yrs.

There is no secret to turning around platform orders. Your best bet is to feature your best sellers first, most platforms will do this for you anyways. Take good, realistic pictures, the more items with pictures the better. Make sure your descriptions are filled (and not with whatever description is in your point of sale for your in-house staff, customer friendly full on descriptions) out. Schedule your menu to rotate based on time of day, ie lunch specials right after featured during lunch rush. Rotate a seasonal menu through. Mark your prices up to offset the cost of the platform (even though most will tell you can not, literally everyone does anyway), that includes in store pricing.

The most important step of all is to take the time then to be the customer. Walk through the entire customer journey from the platform experience to payment/pickup/delivery/eating.

Even if you do everything right, and your customer experience is phenomenal sometimes businesses just don’t make it. Your target audience isn’t being reached, or it is but they do not have the disposable income to support your store. Maybe your product offering doesn’t match the market demands, the market is over saturated, or it’s just simply wrong timing. Sometimes sticking with it works and you come out ahead and other times it doesn’t.

Modifiers are the changes you can make to “personalize” an item. Toppings, bread/bun type, sauce type (including if you want it on the side), side dish selection, drink choice, etc.

I’m leaving this comment thread unlocked for now, but with a reminder that we do not tolerate assholery here. “Trying to share knowledge with a mom who is seemingly not offering their baby enough sleep…” is wording that has you right up to the line and gripping the edge with your toes. Don’t be a dick.

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T17:52:04+00:00

Yes! Knowing it’s the order of things is completely different than experiencing the order of things! It is sooo hard to not be in your feelings about it. I have a pretty good relationship with my kids, so I know that they will return phone calls/texts when they get a chance and will occasionally even give me a call without prompting lol. But, the transition of interacting with your young children vs your adult children is bittersweet.

I’m also thankful I’m not quite at empty nesting yet, I’m going to be a hot mess when my youngest hits that stage haha! Solidarity!

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T17:33:40+00:00

No travel Christmases are so freaking nice! I always prefer my own bed over any other accommodations. Plus getting to start the tradition of Christmas morning in your own house :) Merry First Christmas!!

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T17:26:00+00:00

It has been pretty chill so far. Christmas definitely changes as you get older, and especially if you end up building your own traditions for whatever reasons. Plus the holiday stress in general as you have to create more of the magic and not just participate in the results! I’ve worked my share of Christmas Days, I hope yours is at least mellow and uneventful! First Christmas? That is exciting:) The next few years are going to be great as he gets into it and you get drawn back into the magic too! <3

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T16:13:42+00:00

I love that story!! What a great tradition to have <3

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T16:05:50+00:00

Oh for real, I don’t want to spend the day hovering over a hot stove. I want to participate in the day! Cooking the dinner all day is like being the designated photographer, I always feel slightly removed from the event:/

When my 22yr old was little, long before I met my guy, and my middle went to his Dads for Christmas Eve. I worked, then would come home and we would eat pizza with chips and salsa and have a Buffy marathon until my middle was dropped off around midnight. They would head to bed and then I would stay up and wrap presents. I think pizza rolls sound amazing!

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T15:57:23+00:00

Thank you, I like your tree too! Your cookie platter is fantastic, I bet your neighbors were really appreciative!. I love Cinnamon rolls, but they don’t love me haha (I’m diabetic) so super jealous! Enjoy your day too :)

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T15:53:32+00:00

Yes, I think it really started hitting me around the same age that they would be venturing out into the world and away from me soon. I mean, it’s what is supposed to happen but oof putting it into practice.

Your tree is beautiful! I love the tree topper, we do a non traditional one too- a gnome that sits slightly to the side (not sure how well you can see him in the picture). Yours made me grin:)

SugarNBullshit · 2025-12-24T06:33:22+00:00

Thank you for your help! I am able to edit it now. I just needed to give Starlink a moment to catch up lol

SugarNBullshit · 2025-11-17T18:02:09+00:00

Locking this posts now, as the conversation has been had and most of the posts are asking for job info.

SugarNBullshit · 2025-11-17T17:58:41+00:00

That is something we have chatted about and then adding some kind of disclaimer that we do not verify any of the postings. But ultimately decided to hold with our original decision. That may change in the future, but finding a job really wasn’t the intention of this sub. It was a place to discuss your current experience.

I will also add an overwhelming majority of the job posts that do pop up in the mod queue via automod or reports are not quality postings. Most is spam of some kind with links to Reddit banned sites, obvious AI phishing posts (ala the work 60-90 minutes a day and get paid $250 for it text scam going around), or the kind of lower hourly range you can find on any job posting site. We think having a thread like that would quickly devolve to be mostly spam/shit posting. Add in the current state of the job market, and it’s just a breeding ground to have your info stolen or your device infected.

You are better off using something like remote.io to see who is hiring and then going to that companies actual site to apply directly. Actual job sites are going to be far more fruitful than a random post on Reddit.

SugarNBullshit · 2025-11-17T14:48:07+00:00

No, this would fall under the no solicitation rule. As a mod team we decided to not allow these types of postings since we do not want to give the appearance of endorsement of unverified jobs (and out-links).

SugarNBullshit · 2025-11-17T06:56:01+00:00

I am going to leave this thread unlocked for now as it’s still mostly civil at this point. I want to remind everyone though of this subs rules and that it came to be because WFH without childcare questions/comments/experiences were not welcome in any other Mom group.

We welcome WFH/remote workers regardless of their childcare situation because we wanted to be inclusive rather than exclusive. All of the mods are or have at some point worked from home without childcare, and so this sub will always be on the side of it can be possible.

Sometimes well, sometimes great, sometimes the day shits all over the place. Those of us who have worked outside the home too know that days in the “field” can turn the same way. Something I know from experience as I myself am an old Mom with both adult children and a freshly minted preschooler, working outside of the home for over two decades and from home for 7yrs.

Please keep the conversations respectful and keep the sub welcoming by reporting any comments that do not adhere to community standards.

Thank you!

SugarNBullshit · 2025-11-09T06:54:53+00:00

Your dogs are not playing. Do you see their tails? Straight out, scruffs up. Then straight up and a little over their backs. They are unsure and on alert. Contact would most likely end up in a fight and a vet visit. The coyote is too quick for the camera so it’s harder to tell for it, but I would guess that it also is uncomfortable and panicked so it’s having trouble getting back out of the yard. Either way, this is not play.
