Experienced investors (probably alot through experience), all seem to say to avoid investing in start up restaurants and bars.
Too many overheads, too many of them in the first place, anything you do can be copied. People don't go out as much/drink too expensive. People don't go out as much in recessions.
Rising food prices/low margins.
Rising rents.
Probably be better off sticking 50k into Mackie D's, with fuck all stress.
I wonder if people partly open bars in Cambodia out of guilt.
Guilt of not doing anything.

The diatribe has actually become more civil here imho. Years ago he would've been called a cunt and told to fuck off much earlier on.Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Sun Jun 05, 2022 1:43 pmThis may possibly be because he started off boasting, then in his second post started abusing every other poster.

Most posts are just straight up personal attacks on the guy’s abilities, history, and personality. With a few worthy exceptions, y’all come across as a bunch of playground bullies, pretending like you’re helping him by telling him how much he sucks.

Seems like an awful lot of effort for very little potential return.Alexandra wrote: ↑Sun Jun 05, 2022 3:09 pmPretty much.ផោមក្លិនស្អុយ wrote: ↑Sun Jun 05, 2022 6:37 amSo was this just a long game to direct people to his site?
He copied and pasted posts from here to an SEO forum saying he did it in case someone meddled with his posts. Nobody ever did.
Meanwhile he had prepared his signature with “Omnilogist” to associate the thread with keywords he planned to spam us with and created a separate account with spam links in his signature to omnilogy spam sites and more links to his SEO forum.
Later he had that small tantrum about the 440 admins and mods, but no moderator action has ever been taken on his posts. This was his manipulative justification to try and divert clicks to his own forum and omnilogy spam links instead.
It seems he earns money from spamming links online and was testing the waters to do so here. He probably was genuine in exploring his potential to move to Cambodia, but he also wanted to monetize our traffic by stirring unnecessary drama.
His thread on his SEO forum where he copied posts from here and thought we would want to visit to read his answers has naturally had 0 replies from anyone other than himself.
It’s all very strange, perhaps too much of a genius for me to understand. Ain’t nobody got time for that shit.
Unless these are copy/pastes of similar posts on other forums… but still it seems like the effort/reward ratio is a bit out
Perhaps this is what clever people do these days
Well if this guy's mo is online scamming, perhaps Cambodia is the ideal place for him. I only wish he had been more honest as to his real skill set.
pew, pew, pew, pew!

Why are people being so down on this guy?
Isn't this a tried and tested business model.
Step one, travel to Cambodian.
Step two, take on a 5-year lease.
Step three, furnish the shithole with crappy bamboo furniture.
Step four, marry "barmaid or cashier"
Step five, sell bar/restaurant onto the next mug who wants to live the dream.
Dead fucking easy.

Hey – what’s the difference between a carrot and an alcoholic deathpat?Guest wrote: ↑Sun Jun 05, 2022 3:09 pmMany are dead. Not a few are in prison. Some spend their days kicking their heels and living in a fantasy world of self delusion and bitterness, subsisting on carrot salad and 1000 riel coffees in shitty suburban cafes. A few veni, vici and went home, leaving Cambodia to itself.
One grows in the ground, the other goes in the ground…..

Just continue with the stupidity here. The board needs action, it's a far cry from the good old days. Why would anyone try to get clicks from a board with so little happening to begin with?

Hope, as the story goes, is usually the last thing lost.
Since the OP is only beginning losing it, maybe he should consider swapping saddles
Switching from the Omnilogic pony to that Horticultural beast in the process for example
Green is the colour of hope

The most popular forum on his site is literally for like minded self identifying incels.
All this time, I thought it was a slur, not a club.

Unless you want the earky death. Don't.
I'm been trying to hire the wait staff for new restaurant I opening with friends in BKK, and I'm really starting to wonder if it is time to give up.
Are Under 30s Cambodias just too fucking stupid and lazy to employ and is it's all worth it? I start to think so.
To be clearly, this is no my first Restaurant in Cambodia and it is not my first time hiring Cambodias but my fucking hell it is so much more fucking shit and harder than it was 15 year ago.
Here is how it works.
I post on the Facebook or on the Khmer24 looking for the staff.
In the past I posted, they sent cv they came to see me and if they not complete retarded I give them job. Age. Sexuality, gender I don't give a shit. I just hire those I think are good.
Now tho get maybe 4 applicant a day.per post most from fucking ugly shit guys with no experience who just send the message "hey Bong I want job" "need staff Bong?"
Of course I need staff that's why I fucking post you little fucking Moron.
And the mustaches. Fuck.
I even get more fucking stupid shit like that. Bin.
If I get lucky I maybe get a 3 or 4 of normal looking guys and some girls send a CV - but before it was good now the cv say that is either they have 10 jobs in 2 years or no jobs for last 5 years.
And while i think of the cv. since when is "the news" a hobby?
Anyway I need staff so I not to completely waste my time and I set to do all interviews over 2 or 3 days.
Before. I ask for interview and they come.
now have to book 5+ people for interviews per vacancy per hour knowing that 1 in 7 will come (on time) 2 might turn up within an hour of the time and the rest will just never show.
I've had the excuses from "it's raining Bong i
cannot come today" "oh i busy now I come tomorrow" to "my sister wake up late so I no come today"
There more but I'm bored or hearing it.
All the excuses only come after I chase them they never send before I ask.
The few that turn in are a mixed lot.
I have had them turn up in the piejamers . In the clothes for the gym I have had them turn up and have no idea for what business they apply.
I have had them turn up and just sit with there mouth open even tho the CV says "English Excellent"
How?
It is the fucking huge pain in the ass here. Are the kids under 30 all too fucking stupid or fucking lazy to do the work now?
This is maybe rhetorical. I don't know but I think so
They turn up with bullshit idea of how much they think they can get for half the work and no experience and then sit there when yiu explain why no.
Here's the thing tho.
I'm offering salaries $400 to $500 in a restaurant. We don't open late, we don't open early, it's an 8 hour shift that is flexible from 10am to 10pm. I want quality staff and right this moment I am thinking I might just hire foreigner cos these young Khmer are just too fucking lazy.
Don't waste your time and money on these purple

If I were you I'd try to recruit college graduates. They're a bit better than the average lot. Tell them you're looking for customer service associates managers or something.
