If you plan to leave your business to your Ch*ldren, then its a good idea for them to know the business. Waiting tables to at Del Mar seems like a good perspective for someone who is going to run the entire business some day.
I think right now, the Mona Lisa has more to worry about an electricity bill that is at least 3k a month, payroll that has to be at least 12k a month. The business still needs major capital improvements in terms of room remodeling and construction. Then there is the matter of opening the casino tables, which have huge fixed labor costs.
All, this and the Mona Lisa has not figured out how to take a credit card in Costa Rica. One of the guys running the project is having the reception call the credit cards into another business. This is an obvious sign that the owners have yet to navigate the maze of Costa Rica banking, taxes and accounting.
Whoever you think is coming to get them, either the municipality, public security police or judicial police, they are all smart enough to just wait a year. If they make payroll through the end of the year, pay everyone their legally required Christmas bonus and are still standing this time next year, that's when someone in the government might lift a finger to do something.
After all, no sense running someone out of town when more than 50 percent or more of gringos just run their business into the ground first and/or manage to get robbed by business partners.
Well, you are half right in your 1st paragraph
While valuable, if all she knows is how to take a drink and a food order, would
you expect her to run the business some day of that is the extent of her experience - I sure would not - as a banker, i lent money to mostly family buisiness' for years, and realize better than most that if you share the last name with the owner, you show up and good things tend to happen
As to the rest of your post, while you are probably correct in what you describe, I think we should let them be open for a while, maybe 6 months, and see how they are doing then - with few exceptions, there is almost never a "good" time to open any service business, always challanges
