There’s a saying about throwing good money after bad. This example is the definitive definition of that. Take the words of the Amityville horror and “GET OUT”… There is no good thing that will happen from here on out. Take bodegahwy’s advice and realize that you haven’t even begun to think of...

If I were that seller and I knew I was bluffing you on a 30%+ “unreported cash” income I would also beef up what I told you my cheese / flour consumption was in order to make the numbers jive. DO NOT believe him. If it were true get all invoices from his supplier from him. Obviously he has to...

Me thinks at best they’re doing 1mil. That would bring the food cost to 34%. I think a lot of people on this board would be happy with that food cost. If you’re alluding to a food cost of 25% (assuming $345 FC on $1.35k revenue) I think most people on this board would ask what you’re smoking…And...

In September I was in the Lake Como area. At a restaurant in Lecco (Soqquadro) they had pizza dough fried in balls about the size of a large grape. The best bread based dish I think I’ve had. It was served with hummus.

If your dining area has good separation from the heat producing kitchen don’t over size more than 25% in the dining area. It will actually be counterproductive and not cool well. The kitchen is a different story.

As we say in construction…" if it weren’t for the employees, customers and suppliers I might actually like this business"…

Cape Cod? A local… Although it is slow in the winter now you should have seen it 40 years ago…

Look up rigging. That is the name of companies that move unusual items like pianos, factory machinery, large kitchen equip. etc.

There are a lot of states that have laws preventing the employee agreement you have. If anyone is thinking of this research it first. https://www.dol.gov/wb/media/pay_secrecy.pdf

If you sell the cd’s then you are also exempt as long as the cd you’re playing is for sale. I’ve seen a few shops with a dozen or so cd’s for sale that played the cd. There is a store around here that used to sell a lot of “hippie type” of clothing, accessories etc. They played Grateful Dead...

Jokergerm. You should be able to get PSF ballpark prices over coffee (or a pizza) from contractors in your area (for heated shell only). If they can’t throw a dart within $10-$20 PSF then you’re talking to the wrong contractor. I design homes and all of my builders will quote a price on a napkin...

Gotta love the Inland Empire…

GotRocks, if you use internet radio check our WERS. It is Emerson College radio station with professional DJ’s. They play alt / rock / current music and best of all they don’t have commercials.

They are called riggers. Look up and see if any are in your area and get a price. This is what they do for a living and you may find out it is worth the investment.

I have been looking at all the listing in the southeastern MA area and western RI. I see that most of them have been on the market for pretty much the last 8 months I’ve been looking. They certainly don’t sell quickly. Let’s say 70% of them are listed for $1. The other 30% they seem to want...

Is it really that difficult? Do you find that to be more with the kids in high school or the young adults in their early 20’s with no direction?

I was in the kitchen & bath business a number of years. The best place for an independent K & B retail store is within eyesight of a big box store. The both sell the same manufacturers with different names and the small store almost always has better trained designers and installers. The price...

There are a couple of chains around here (owned by the same small new england company) Papa Gino’s and D’Angelos that have rewards cards. I used to carry and use both when the rewards were cumulative. A year or so ago they changed the program and all points drop off after 90 days. I tossed the...

Yes, as one twitter response I saw wrote that…“the winner is…MMA”…

Sounds like a Bill Belichick press conference but if you say anything negative do you doubt some lawyer can sue you…
