[Autonomous]

I don't know the specific codes in Oakland but <100 people generally means
it's a "private party" with no special permission needed. You could get
away with much more if there aren't many people milling about outside.

4 events per month x 99 attendees x $20 cover charge = $7920/mo gross
income.
