Sooner or later I'll write a "first months guide", since I am a serial restarter...Ok, so what is your advice if I want to start over, what should I prioritize with first? I know maintaining the business, but again how do I recruit people? I try to bribe them with higher salary they still refusing which kinda ridiculous if I should say myself lol.
First thing to do as soon as the home screen appears: "post available jobs --> bartender".
Unemployed NPC's will accept the minimum wage 99% of the times. Exceptions are: 1. If they already had a job but were fired; 2. If they didn't like the interview; 3. a bit of randomness. NPC's who are suggested by your daughter/sister will ask for much more, and I would avoid hiring them unless they're really really good.
The in-game help (upper right corner) helps you identify the most desirable traits/abilities/skills for each job. Also consider that each room as a "lewdness factor" (again, it's explained in the help menu.) As for the interview per se, you may want to find out a couple of traits, a couple of stats, and learn more about their likes/dislikes. The goal is to improve their opinion around 15%+ (they'll get the modifier "great interview") before you move into the next stage.
If you post a job and nobody seems interested, just roam around and click "consider for job" whenever you meet an unemployed NPC (be aware, though, there are minumum age requirements for each job).
So, an interview with a potential bartender: Learn more about traits (sociability + willpower); Learn more about abilities (lewdness + focus); learn more about their likes/dislikes (jobs is a good option).
Do not be too picky but consider that traits never change, abilities are hard to improve, while skills are fairly easy to improve, so it's better to have a bartender with focus 100 and service -50 than the other way around.
Contrary to what most people suggest, I think in v2 you should hire a second bartender early on: if they're good and their wage is low, they'll help you boost your satisfaction, fame and revenues. Also, you may discover some other traits/abilities/skills along the way and find out that a decent bartender can be a great cook or good singer...
Finally, you are going to ask for a loan sooner or later, so don't be too afraid of losing money in the first 5-6 months as long as more laws are passed and new rooms are built... And pay off the debt manually.
