The first floor is a basic plan, and layout. There are two entrances. One is for the pizza shoppe (A), and the other is for the residence (B). With that in mind, there will be areas that will take up some space. However, this will be expected. The areas are
B Entrance
The entrance to the residency will be next door to the pizza shoppe while still remaining in the same space of the building. The entrance will have a public door that would have a locked mailbox for mail, and an intercom buzzer. There will be another door which will enter a small space to the elevator to go to 2nd floor. This elevator entry will be locked, and will require someone in the apartment to “buzz” them in.
The intercom will ring to an intercom box that will be close to the residence door. There will be an off switch so the buzzer will not ring when someone calls you. This will be for private time with the residents. However, for best results, it would be good to call the person you want to visit ahead of time to make sure they know you are coming. To me, that is just common courtesy anyways.
As for the mailbox, while it exists, it will not get used that much. The PMB will remain in my service even if I was to get my own place. This will provide for additional security, and assure that there minimal people knowing my address. I would not want to advertise my residence to 8 Billion people to know. I am fine with them knowing my mailing address though.
Garage
There will be a 2 car garage. One space will be for the residence, while the other space will be for pizza delivery. The delivery driver will use their own vehicle, but will place a magnet on the door to advertise the pizza shoppe when working. After work, the magnet can be removed.
Hallway
Between the garage and the elevator, there will be a long hallway. This hallway is only going to be 5′ wide, but this will be wide enough to support any needs. There will be a motion sensor that will detect motion, and turn on the hall lights. If there is no motion, the lights will be off.
Pizza Shoppe
As mentioned, there will be a business. This business will be a pizza shoppe that I will own. I would expect that the business will not pull a profit in for 2 years, so for that time, I will be supporting the business. However, the business will have a website, and 2 telephone numbers. The first one is the back office, and the second one is the public one for the shoppe. All outgoing calls will show the public number no matter which entity is calling.
The front of the shoppe will have a counter, and an ethernet jack for the cash register. The register will have a payment terminal that would support NFC payments. This will be encouraged when possible to assure that the card never leaves the owner’s possession. The front of the business will have a preferred toll-free number with reference to Big Frank’s Pizza.
The middle of the shoppe will be the oven, and prep table. There will also be grease fryers that would support French Fries, and provolone sticks. The rear of the shoppe is the back office where the manager will handle the needed day to day operations. The back of the office will also have a unique telephone number that vendors, financial institutions, and others will ring to reach the owner (Me) directly. My hours will be part-time, and only between 9AM, and 12PM.
