my friend is starting chef and i have done it for a while and is a bit hard to stock, so we decided to do a conjoined buisness, we share resources, we share a vendor, we share profits, its just twice as easy to keep your vendor stocked and only have to do half the food, whatcha think
PS: i didnt get brandy
i will make some anyway

I think it's a good idea as long as you're both ok with sharing everything. If one person spent more on resources and it gets thrown into the pile, they can't still think of them as "their" resources because a t!t-for-tat (edited because, evidently, "t!t" isn't appropriate language) thing will sour the relationship quickly. Personally, I don't think I could ever go this route. I've spent upwards of 30 million getting all of my resources together, and I have enough to maintain as a well-oiled machine of one for quite some time, but for a chef that's just starting out, to be able to pair up with an established chef is a great thing. I just think that dividing everything up on a fair schedule by sharing one vendor could be tricky, unless you're using something like Merchant's Friend, that lets you track all the sales from a vendor. There's also a lot of trust involved, since the person who owns the vendor will really be the only one to see what's happening with it unless there's meticulous record-keeping done by the other person. At any rate, best of luck to you and your new partner! I'm sure it'll be a great partnership.

Me and 2 other chefs did this about 7 months ago, was a great move for our business and we went on to be the best stocked with the best stats on the server.
I'd recommend it.

Sounds like a bit of a pain to me
Since you're sharing a vendor one of you has to pay the other for all of their sales. Lot of micromanaging there. But if it works for you, then great.

Me and another WS on Wanderhome have been doing this with our weapon Business for over a year now. Has worked out very nice. We share a crafting house and crafting clothes and loot componets.
