Keep the job ads up, or tell you them to apply. As for the commisioners, just keep telling them to vote for certain laws, and slowly make them see the light. It's a grind to make them be proper lewded. But that's why you have events that still require 1.5 ingame years to fire. Now you see someone you're sweet on, sure you can pursue them, but remember money and time is a finite and VERY precious resource, while you build up everything, and ladies are very fucking demanding on both if you wanna do what they want all the time. Once you start to have a bit of surplus and had 2 bartenders and you got maintence under control, think about building storage closet and kitchen. Delegate maintencance to a janitor, while doing kitchen duty yourself, or vice versa, depending on what you get applying. And then slowly slowly build up form there. Maybe another bar. See what laws you can get fixed, and if ytou get the singers early, a seating area, so you can draw in more ppl, etc.
