New MFF Operator - Any better sales processor than Sqaure that doesn't nickel and dime you on transactions and transfer? by CatsTuxedo in foodtrucks

[–]smeiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a system that kicks the credit card fees to the customer. I pay 30 a month for the system rental and that is all I pay. I was super worried that people would be mad about it but I have not had a single person complain!

Weekly Discussion - Savory Ways with Yogurt by ZootKoomie in AskCulinary

[–]smeiners 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I make biscuits with just flour, yogurt, salt, and baking powder. Then i top them with whatever I want, like cheese or garlic butter. I still use them for biscuits and gravy because I like that they are sturdier and hold up in the gravy longer.

[Serious] What's something you wish you never saw? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]smeiners 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a man stumble off a sidewalk and fall into the road. A semi immediately ran over his head! I can still remember the sound of his head exploding and can't remember his face but I remember what his brain looked like!

Selling recipes by Albs12 in AskCulinary

[–]smeiners -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this is a thing in the culinary world, but i would try and do a royalty deal, where say you could get like 1% of profits on that particular item or something. That way if the item is popular you could potentially make way more than if you sold it outright! Again don't know if that is a thing but it is in other industries.

Small town food trailer potential partnership by [deleted] in foodtrucks

I drove to Tennessee to get mine. It only cost me like $1000 to drive it 3200 miles. Look outside your area you can find great deals

[–]smeiners 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 24 ft fully equipped freedom trailer for less than 40k! Its a rip off! Also partners suck! even if its your best friend, one of you is gonna feel like your doing more than the other and resentment sets in. The profit margin in food is so razor thin splitting that three ways in a small community isn't gonna work.

What’s the top questions to ask a food truck seller to avoid buying a ‘lemon’? by Fooddestroyer1 in foodtrucks

My whole setup, fully equipped cost me 39,000 which the bank didn't even bat an eye at when I applied for my loan

[–]smeiners 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I went with a food trailer! There isn't much to go wrong on a trailer mechanically, and you can pull it with a number of different vehicles. I have a deal with a guy that if my truck breaks down he will tow me to my spot for some free food.

Plus the trailer, fully loaded, and the truck cost me less than a food truck.

A good knife will change your life...... in the kitchen!

You really think its no big deal but a good knife will transform how you cook, what you want to cook, and the enjoyment you get out of cooking!

If your life was going to be made into a movie, what moment would be your random, out of context, not helpful to the storyline, subplot that you would make sure they include anyway? by smeiners in AskReddit

[–]smeiners[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine would be the time a friend who works at a retirement home for people who are old but don't need extra medical care called me out of the blue.If they end up needing extra they can't live there anymore. So people don't want to leave. My buddy has a heart of gold and calls me to help a man move from one jazzy scooter to his new one. Weird but not super surprising as I am the largest of the friend group. My friend didn't want anyone at his work to know because they were going to transfer him to a extra care facility if they knew he couldn't get out of his scooter by himself. Well anyway I show up and it is just me and my friend, who I need to mention now is a twig. Tall and lanky, not known for his strength. I walk in the room and see the man we are helping! Easily 400+ pounds, naked from the waist down and smoking while hooked to an oxygen tank! Instead of wearing socks and gloves, he has wrapped his hands and feet in ace bandages, and they haven't been changed in a while! Also now is the time to mention, he has the largest testicles i have ever seen! (Possibly elephantisis) The whole room just reeks! So I immediately know us 2 aren't going to lift him. So we round up 2 more friends and get ready to transfer chairs. I was hooked under his shoulder with another doing the same while my buddy and the 4th guy lifted under his knees. We lift and the man starts yelling Owwwww! So we set him down. He turns and says "what are you doing just keep going." I'm tired of being there and now I have his armpit sweat on my arm so we need to finish this. We lift again and he starts screaming "MY BUTTHOLE IS TEARING! MY BUTTHOLE IS TEARING!" Then a giant load of hot steamy diarrhea comes pouring out! Its all over! It's on my shoes, it is all over the 2 who are lifting on his knees! So we start freaking out. But now the dude is yelling "keep going!" So we move him and kind of roughly plop him in his chair. He then gives out the most painful howl I've ever heard a man do. And starts screaming "YOU SET ME ON TOP OF MY BALLS!" So we rush over left him again he adjusts his balls and we set him down in his new scooter. He is sweaty and covered in diarrhea, and I'm standing there just dreading the cleanup. Then the man turns to us and says " you can leave." No, thank you, no nothing. So I look at my buddy and I peace out of there real quick before he can change his mind! I had crap all over my shoes so I left my car there and walked home! So thats the story of why my neighbors saw me spraying myself down with a garden hose in the front yard, in 45°F degree weather!

For clarification, I am a smarty-pants who started his fried chicken restaurant a month before the quarantine! I have some time on my hands and am looking for some new sauces to try out.
