How big of a war chest do you actually keep?

For those of you who run a profitable business that pays you and all your expenses AND has money leftover, how much do you leave in the bank before investing elsewhere/expanding/new stuff? Doesn't have to be a dollar amount, if you go by X months business or whatever.

Just a rant: getting paid!

Oh my god! Why is everyone a terrorist when it comes to paying??? This is my biggest pet peeve in working for myself, that nobody feels like they have to pay me on any sort of reasonable time table. I've offered discounts, I've included penalties. People will say, "that sounds great, when can we start?" And I'll say "yeah right away, I just need this invoice paid first" and then they'll go radio silent for nine days! I'm frustrated today, ALL weekend I've been expecting two invoices paid and finally after two days of nothing I've reached out and it turns out one is still "thinking about it" (no they weren't. When did this even happen?) and the other hasn't gotten back to me now for a third day. People man...

Independent cafe or franchisee of a global restaurant chain?

I'm considering investing in a location for a small business. The location is facing the highway and a couple of minutes away from a prestigious university campus. As this location (miles of it) was owned by a tycoon, no other infrastructure has propped up to date. There's also an upcoming suburb with over hundred families right behind the location. It's a town in the making, and I see huge potential in the next few years. I've got two options: Cafe - Independence, absolute control. Lesser visibility due to limited advertisement. Franchisee - Stability and brand recognition via national televised advertisements. Lesser control and fractional profit margins. Which of the two would you suggest? Also open to something entirely different.
