    Then the money you pay them will have a nice smell of Persil after they wash it.

    Its located in a former stockroom of a clothes store, this is the first business ever there so the rent would be really cheap.

    If anyone didn't pay there should be someone waiting outside for them with a tazer.

    Myself and a few lads ate the breakfast there a few months back and the food was very good. We managed to chat to the owner for a few minutes and asked him how it was going for him, he said business was booming and often people would pay more then the price of the meal. Myself and the lads gave €13 each for our breakfasts which is about the going rate. I wouldn't feel right just throwing a euro into the box or something like that because in fairness the guy is trying to make a living.

    The only comparison I've experienced is playing a gig where a jar is passed around. The last one I did like that i was verily impressed at how much people gave, without having to. Some people threw in some shrapnel, but there were 5 and 10 euro notes too. I think people are willing to pay for something they like, and sometimes generously.

    Might work

    I thought the Dublin bike scheme would be over in a week and the bikes would be stolen and in canals
    Didn't happen at all

    Maybe Irish people would not take advantage and this could be a success

    I thought that would flop too.
    But dont you have to swip your credit card in order to get the bike? So no wonder people dont wreck them. Easy to trace.

    As for this whole pay as you please. People will take the p*ss.
    And Im not just talking about the hungry kits who'll gladly give 50 cent. But seemingly "decent" people will get slap up meals and only give a few euro. 'Give an inch, take a mile'

    You'll hear all the excuses in the world too. I reckon the most common excuse will be "sorry, money is a bit tight lately" as the person gives some change.

    It would be far to much of a risk to take, Restaurants cost huge money to run in Dublin between rates, rents, insurance etc etc etc etc etc, even if 50% where honest enough to play fairly the other potential 50% would have you ou of business within a month. nice idea though


    Well..this place isnt in Dublin. And oddly enough Killarney has high rent too.etc.

    Well yeah. I mean if i got rashers, sausages, eggs, pudding, beans, mushrooms, hash browns, tomatoes, toast and tea/coffee i think it'd be worth €13. Oftentimes i mightn't even eat dinner (maybe a sandwich) if i had a good breakfast.

    I cant help but give a plug to one of the best resturants in Dublin (IMO) while reading this thread ... :D

    The Full House on Abbey Street. All you can eat and only 6.20 per person. Like if the full house was "pay as you please" theres no way i could give less than 10 euro. But hey, they charge 6.20. So thats what I pay.

    Full breakfast...

    3 sausages - 2 of each black and white pudding - 2 rashers - beans - mushrooms - fried tomato - chips - tea - toast - brown bread

    If you lot think that's expensive ye must be having yer breakfast in a right dive of a place. €13 isn't bad at all.

    I've been to the pay as you please in Killarney a good few times and it's doing fairly well from what I can tell.

    Food's always been good there and I'd recommend it to anybody who hasn't been. There's a nice vibe about the place and I'd imagine not many people under pay to the extent that they're ripping off the lads who run it, anytime I've gone in there I've probably almost overpaid as I like to see a new business with young guys at the helm doing well - especially in a town like Killarney that's seen alot of shops close down in the past two years.

    Heard that the land lord did not have planning permission to convert any of the units and is now trying to force all the tenants to pay any fees involved.

    I also life the farm market idea which is in the end unit.

    The units were originally built by the UDC as craft units and sold to the present owner at a reduced price because of some stupid idea that he would develop a local craft business :confused::confused:
