buying Night Club with upgrades worth the money ?

[Yoloji]

currently I have a bunker , a MC and a vehicle warehouse. I know vehicle warehouse wont be helpful from NightClub and I have already upgraded the bunker fully.MC just started ,so no upgrades yet. Should I buy the NightClub for Hub? how much will it provide if i keep only 2 businesses running at same time..? What are the odds of playing solo

No... Night clubs are ♥♥♥♥.
On top of being terrible money makers, if you let the popularity go all the way down, you get endless spam calls about it. Keeping the popularity up is too much work for too little payoff. All in all, the night club dlc is a huge let down. Nothing to be excited about.

it's really great passive income. after you link your businesses you can literally do nothing. well unless you wanna fill up 7 different types of goods, then sometimes you might need to reassign your technicians. but other than that it's quite awesome lazy money. you only do sales and they are always 1 vehicle. if you already got office you can buy cheapest special cargo warehouse to add extra income to nc. and there is no need to upgrade ceo/mc businesses if you don't run them on their own. nor get suplies for them. just keep active.

this explained everything, every business u have will speed nightclub out, while u doing I/E this works on their own, and u just have to sell it when its like 900k+ once

Just 1 thing I didn't get from the guides over internet.can I still steal supplies to make product faster from bunker or it's just technicians of nightclubs I ll have to care about..

Techs work only in nightclubs - with no supplies needed.

All other businesses operate as normal.

Don't buy a nightclub unless you have:
coke, meth, hangar/warenhause, bunker, counterfeit

Once you have several active businesses and you plan on playing this game and keeping them active for a very long time it can be worth it.

This is the hourly income from the unupgraded nightclub technicians. Upgrading doubles the income:
Cargo 3.9k
Bunker 3.4k
Coke 4.5k
Meth 3.8k
Weed 2k
Cash 3.1k
Document 1.8k

As you can see the nightclub pays less per hour even when upgraded than your staff and utility cost for the corresponding business. Of course you don't have to do anything but sell, but if you need money now then beware that this is a very slow return on investment. Slowest in the game by far.

The nightclub popularity upgrade is not worth it because it requires you to do source missions and the payout is less than doing vip work.

It's great for passive production in the long run. Right now I'm having a coffee and doing something else while my nightclub techs will produce for xx hours, with all upgrades.

If you link it with your other businesses use the solo public server trick then the nightclub is great my nightclub has made 8 million on top of what my other businesses has made me

Sounds about right. Was it 2 weeks ago it was released? That's 300 hours. Some people are dedicated and don't care about their electricity bill enough to leave their computer on day and night.

[iMoveFasterAlone]

Yes. With a nightclub with all techs and the upgrades you can shop clothes, heist, race or afk. After 20 hours you sell for about 800K.

200 hours 8000K

2000 hours 80000K...

People are forgetting 2 things.

While nightclubs are endgame, they produce more money than just what it passively produces at first glance. For example, when you do Business Battles and collect both goods, that's often about 60k in money, as opposed to the 20-30k you get for just dropping it off in Alamos. This will help fil up your warehouse faster, which means more money production. And since I'm usually uncontested in lobbies with people for BB, I find it's easy money.

Additionally, for people saying the popularity missions are annoying, just rebook a DJ for 10k. If you have the upgrade for popularity, you just have to pop by your NC every hour and 40 minutes or so, collect your 20k, and then just switch your DJ to refill the half empty 5th bar to full. No missions needed, and you score an easy 10k profit for nothing, which on top of your NC production brings it to ~50k an hour with 5 techs on the best businesses.

All that said, I would definitely recommend you first purchase the 3 best MC businesses, because those can turn a profit for you on their own.

Assuming your numbers are true it is not "for nothing". Going to your nightclub, running to your computer, sitting down, logging in, switching dj, geting up, opening the safe, running back. Lots of slow animations there. It's going to take several minutes to do it before you are back to what you were doing. For 10k. You can do headhunter for 20k. It also only takes a few minutes and you don't have to babysit a supply bar neither.

How many 10k's do you have to collect to pay that initial upgrade back? That's right, 47. 47 of those until you are back to 0. The average once you have done 100 of those missions is 5300. After 200 switch dj/collect missions your average is up to 7700. 1h 40min you say between each? That's 333 hours of babysitting that supply bar for an average of 7700 extra every 1h 40 min. There isn't even a way to check your nightclub supply from your phone.

Maybe the hardcore grinder can make a schedule fitting this in. I won't say it is definitely less pay per time spent compared to headhunter, but it is definitely not free money.

If you think doing all that takes as long as a headhunter, either you've got a really really slow computer, or you're entering your nightclub the wrong way and go through the front door. That, or you're completing headhunters in a minute flat which not even I can do in an Oppressor MK2 or a hydra. And even at my speed, I usually end up waiting on cooldowns in some capacity, so might as well pick up my money.

Not to mention, you'll want the NC anyway for the Terrorbyte, which enables an easy 300-400k an hour in private sessions no less, so might as well invest in the upgrade to avoid annoying calls and maximize your per-hour cash flow.
