ROYAL RUBY • NIGHTCLUB • BEHEMOTH/PRIMAL

[SaberMaxwell]

Hello!
I'm probably going to convince nobody with this post, but I do want to bring up that it is expensive to stock these bars. For my own venue, we sell Mors as one of our primary drinks, sometimes selling into the thousands within a month. That takes gil to supply, and a lot of it. As well, the bartender gets an hourly wage, though I'm unsure if other venues practice hourly wages, so on top of all of that, sometimes we don't even go black on our bar earnings for a month.

As far as "buy out the bar for the rest of the night for 600k" goes, again, it's a gamble on our end when somebody does that. It's possible and has happened we've sold more than 600k worth of goods on nights the bar has been bought out. The items may be digital, but they take real time and resources to gather for and craft for.

We've always kept a strict asking price of 5k gil as a limit, and we always make sure what we sell is HQ.

Like I said, I probably won't convince anyone who's already figured it in their head that gil transactions tarnish the sanctity of rp, but managing a venue cost-efficiently isn't a lazy way to earn gil at all lol. At least the way my venue does things, maybe we're just tryhards who reinvest any gil we *do* make into the venue itself.

Legitimate question, if you don't even make a profit for a month sometimes, why do you continue to work under high operating costs? Sounds more like you need to cut corners until you gain the popularity needed to profit at your current standards or switch it up so you do make a profit (sell items that don't take as much effort to gather/craft for example, pay people for the night rather than by hour, etc.) It just seems kind of "no gain" to put in so much effort to make master recipes, for example, to ultimately not see much return.
