Any updates for the shop? Is it open?
No updates it seems...
shame, I would give them a try but wouldn't go blind down to rockdale.
I was think of going to the kellet st yesterday, but the same, no updates or answer.

I am stunned at the low quality of so many of the industry's web sites, and this includes some of Sydney's biggest names. Low quality photos and copywriting, what must be clunky content management systems, and a general all-round shitty user-experience. It's 2026 FFS. How hard can it be?
I've never met Jesse (all the best with your new venture) and I'm in no position to give her business advice about this particular industry. However, I do know that a 24-hour online advertisement in our digital age is the gift that keeps giving if it meets your market's needs.
It must be at least 2 weeks since Fireflies closed and the new place has not opened.
I’m sure there are good reasons, but without income for that long, most of the WL/MLs will have moved on to work somewhere else.
Still no roster and no certainty about when it will open.
The key now is communication to the customer base and Jesse has been silent.
Wish you all the best, the longer it takes the bigger the miracle needed
Have to say I am very surprised there is not at least an Update regarding where things are at.Quote:

Like you said. Wishing Jesse all the best.
Fireflies is active on WeChat, they may have had a hiatus...
Would you know where they are operating currently?Quote:

Better than me making an assumption and being wrong, leading you astray.
You have an update? Did you get a reply?Quote:

I slept in a mattress like 5 times only in 3 months, less than 20 times in 9 months, the rest are passing out in sofas, floor, even ladder changing a cat 7 or 8 cable. Just no break at all. When builder tried to list total detail of the $800k ish of works done, we estimated around 4500 hours in 2 months between 4 people. Thats average of 19 hrs work a day for 2 months lol.
Last 3 years was already hectic first time starting a business while also trying to start a family, and somehow i ended up with 14 floors in pitt st. This year as well it's my first time purchasing a whole commercial property and its definitely much harder than i ever thought. Had to learn way too much about everything as it's been 15 years since my last proper office job, and we do a lot of things hands on to every detail from the crocodile leather upholsterings to the diamond studdings to the gold wainscoting and ceiling wallpapering to even coding the security AI and operations AI and the 100-camera face recognition AI CCTV. Even the tiling and plumbing and the backlit onyx and agate prep, choosing which velvet and red carpet suppliers. I think we have like 50 different shades of black all around lol and 20 different golds and 5 different reds.
Its 90% complete and already open, 8 girls right now and quite a few are hot ones tonight. Too many young girls too so its quite a headache as obviously im not as young as 10 years ago when i was managing 485 rockdale last time.
Here is a sneak peek of how the place looks like now, it's also been 20 years since i last worked interior design so its definitely far from perfect, please please give me feedback, criticize anything thats not perfect. I can only learn quick if everything unsatisfactory is mentioned, otherwjse i dont know lol. So yeah, pls help tell me what to improve, so i can expedite this process.
As apology, for tonight, mention voucher code norestforthewicked for free house fee off any booking (just pay the girl)
Here's some sneak peek of what the garter looks like now (back to black):

Sometimes no girls at all too but, first 3-6 months gonna be like this, but even when no girls its a fun place good vibes. Help me bring girls and finish decor and brainstorm design ideas lol. And help me find investors too haha i still need to sell 10-20% of the building (passive investor) and/or 20-30% of the business because i need a few hundred thousand for operations and to finish fitouts. For stage 2 renovs next year (the 2 bar areas as according to floor plan and non-permanent swimming pool) we'll need a buttload of money. stage 3 fitouts, the backlit onyx or agate slabs for all the 16 rooms 1 whole wall each costs $9,000-15,000 per wall shipped from china its ridiculous. The 20 x 8 meter inside mural also not paid yet nor started yet lol and there's 2 of them walls.
Here's more sneak peek of the rooms, and what have been done already / target to soon to be done:

Have a look at the post made today under General talk
Can we get some more information around this? Can you get stats eg how often someone comes? Where is the data stored etc. I had thought to make a operations system integrated with a website similar to the systems you see in Japan with blogs where the ladies post selfies etc, better rosters and online bookings but got distracted with other projects and not sure anyone would use it.Quote:

Why Jesse get fired from ginza and other shops because of many things. Please bro go and ask people that really know the real Jesse and see how they speak of him.Quote:

People shouldn't support this kind of shop that doesn't pay workers
Still the same fireflies website. Roster today says there's one girl on from 7:30pm til 2am.Quote:

Im guessing it's a soft launch only at nights? Roster looks bare as, 1-2 ladies each night?
Photos look good but that's a serious investment if no income is coming in.
Hi all, sorry website is still under construction.
For quickest up to date roster in the meanwhile can call shop number 041 2216 19 7 or 04500 90 888
Tonight have 11 girls; 2 Thai Maya and Stacie, 3 Koreans, 3 Chinese, 1 American, 1 European, 1 Aussie
Terribly sorry if the shop look like a hoarder's house, we might have gone overboard with trying to fix the place up as quick as possible.
So far we have done around $800k ish in building improvements, still waiting for final detailed numbers from the building valuer as well as business valuer.
The good news is the place look tidy now and already have many girls, 11 girls right now and 6 staffs, 15 rooms operational but not 100% how i want em to look yet. Come right now, it's steak night tonight and its already quite lively.
Yes sorry about that, we follow the same timeline we did before, usually like in our 5 shops before, first 1-3 months we focus nights first, 6pm-6am. Daytime roster still wonky and unstable, usually around months 3-6 then we focus daytime, and after 6 months it shouls be more stableQuote:

A lot of them have successful day jobs - lawyers, architects, doctors and nurses, academics, engineers, they already make a lot of money so they just help us and the girls out of kindness. Some are even previously brothel owners and managers and help do reception for free if one of us have something to do urgent during work (for example if a girl ask for help picking up bags and driving her to friend place so she can run away from a abusive partner at home)Quote:
