Nightclubs/Set Up: Staff

"Okay, here we go. Get us our staff. You can pick them up in any order. You're collecting our head bartender, the head of security and front of house, and someone to run your warehouse. Bring them all in here, and we'll get it rolling."

- Tony Prince to the player.

Set Up: Staff is a Nightclubs setup mission conducted in Free Mode in Grand Theft Auto Online.

Description
After purchasing a Nightclub and viewing the introductory cutscene with Tony Prince and Lazlow Jones, the player must conduct Setup work to start up their business. There are three setup jobs to be conducted, Staff, Equipment and DJ. The first two must be completed (in any order) before the third becomes available.

Staff
The player will be tasked to pick up three staff members located around Los Santos that Tony has poached. Tony requests that the player drives in his Schafter V12 to 3 destinations to pick them up.

Head Bartender
"You got Connie, the liquor lady? At the bar, we're keeping it simple. Beer, shots, champagne of course, and some really top drawer whiskeys. This girl does simple better than anyone else in the business. Doing simple really fucking well is an art form. You'll see."

- Tony Prince to the player.

Connie will be hanging with friends at the beach, anywhere from Vespucci Beach to Pacific Bluffs.

Head Bouncer
"Is Marcel on board? He'll handle all security and the whole front of house setup. Used to be I would work the velvet rope... but that's a young man's game. Marcel here has a lazer eye for good people and bad... he'll make sure all the right kids are coming in and all the wrong ones are staying out."

- Tony Prince to the player.

Marcel will be working the door of another club, often an unmarked underground location but occasionally an existing club.

Warehouse Technician
"That looks like Yohan, your tech. He'll run the... warehouse. You know... all your "other" businesses? It's an important part of the operation... the part that's paying the rent. He can plug into any manufacturing you have set up, and bring it through our storage here. He's a clever boy."

- Tony Prince to the player.

Yohan Blair will be with biker friends including The Lost Girl, in one of many back alleys in the city.

Collection
The player just needs to pull up and attract the NPC's attention (honking the horn is sufficient). All three can be collected in one trip.

After they have been collected, they all need to be taken back to the Nightclub safely. Harming any of the staff members or their friends before they get in the car, or destroying the car will result in mission failure. Other rival players in the Free Mode session will be unable to see the staff until they get in the car. Members of the player's Organizations or Motorcycle Clubs will be able to see the staff and their locations on the map, but will be unable to get in the car with their leader to pick them up, although they can spook or kill the staff and trigger mission failure. Rival players will be able to intercept the Schafter V12 on the way back to the club and take out the player and the staff for RP and an increase in their own club popularity.

After the staff have been taken back to the nightclub, they will be seen hanging around the nightclub waiting for business. Depending on the order the player choose to undertake the setup missions, staff members will either get straight to work, or will have to wait for the necessary equipment for the nightclub business to run.
