I ended up with a commercial washer and dryer. The people I have been renting tables and chairs to keep asking about linens. Wondering if I should buy some linens to rent. And while I’m at it buy sheets, towels and shit to rent and launder them for all the people who Airbnb their homes. Got to price out what a wash would cost with detergent, energy and up keep of the machines to conclude if I can grind out a few bucks.

Or I’ll just sell the washer and dryer

I sold for a linen business several years ago. I got stiffed many times. I’m still owed money from years ago. I’ll never see it. @tullamore Do you want a great salesman ???

It’s a one man job, part time, until it’s profitable and scalable. And maybe it never will be. I’m need to gain more information. But trying to make my money work for me and create income streams. We will see what happens, but renting table and chairs is a good side hustle. Also it’s the time of year, graduations, nice weather, and weddings. Come late fall and winter i don’t expect much business.
 
Rented 200 chiavari chairs at $9 a piece this weekend. Chairs are probably around $75 new each, maybe a little more . I bought them used in bulk along with tables, 2 ovens, a fridge and some random kitchen crap, hotel pans, 6 pans etc. I need to calculate a price point cost on items I have kept and not sold.
 
Seriously, Tron. I love the hustle.

More questions - feel free to ignore Tully.
You rent a box truck? Where will you store the stuff in the off-season? Do the load out/load in yourself?

Do you have a standard contract? Anything to protect you from damage above and beyond wear & tear?
 
@Boner_18 I’ll answer any questions but I’m still in the early stages and still learning and figuring shit out. This side hustle started during Covid with restaurants closing and me buying up ovens and fridges to fix up and clean and flip for a profit. I ended up buying an oven from a catering company and went back the next day and bought almost everything they had for sale. That’s how I started the table and chair gig

In the beginning it was renting to people I knew and friends of friends. All cash no contracts. This year, within the last 2 months I set up a llc. I’m having a lawyer draw up a formal contract with disclaimers and shit, so going forward they can only come after the business and not me. I bought a box truck. Have plans to also use the box truck to cook out of for events.

I load and unload myself. I have no employees, as for storage I have a trailer on my property I use to store the table and chairs. Long term thoughts that need to be researched more is to take the equipment I kept that is my garage and rent a spot for a commercial kitchen. Rent the space out to other private chefs to use. And use the space myself to try and sell food to the events that need tables and chairs. Need to look into catering licenses and alcohol licenses. I also bought a horse trailer that I might turn into a mobile bar but that’s a winter project. I’m really just concentrating on renting tables and chairs at the moment. And maybe linens. I rented 5 60” circular tables today for $15 a table. Seems like linens from my research would be $15 minimum per table. I am bartending more than I thought I would be for my buddies restaurant. But that’s how I get a lot of my leads. So I not spending a lot of time on this. I’ll just grind out what I can this season and hopefully fine tune the business this winter and set proper goals.

@Shortstop You don’t want to be in business with me. I might shut the whole thing down tomorrow and buy a one way ticket to New Zealand because a girl in a sundress who I shared a bottle of rose with is going to NZ to backpack around.

The beautiful life, pal.

New Zealand is now at the very top of my bucket list after I put a check mark next to the French Polynesia a few years ago.
