Nightclub

Setup, step by step

1. 1Buy a nightclub — the Del Perro, La Mesa and Elysian Island locations have the shortest sell routes.
2. 2Complete the setup missions with Tony, then hire a DJ.
3. 3Assign technicians to goods in value order: Cargo and Shipments, South American Imports, Pharmaceutical Research, Cash Creation, Sporting Goods.
4. 4Own the matching businesses (warehouse, cocaine, meth, counterfeit cash, bunker) — technicians only accrue goods for businesses you own.
5. 5Dance, drink or do a club management job every 48 minutes to keep popularity high, then sell from the office laptop.

Best upgrade order

• Buy firstStorage floors (all three)

  Without extra floors the club fills in hours and stops accruing; this is the single biggest income change.

• Buy firstEquipment upgrade

  Speeds up how fast technicians accrue goods across every assigned business.

• Buy laterStaff upgrade

  Slows popularity decay, so you run the management jobs less often.

• OptionalSecurity upgrade

  Reduces raid risk; matters only if you leave large stock sitting for days.

• OptionalNightclub garage

  Storage and the Terrorbyte bay, not income.

Worth knowing

• •The nightclub wall safe caps at $250,000 — empty it before it stops filling.
• •Nightclub sales are one of the few big payouts that are entirely safe in an Invite Only session.
