I honestly must say I’m quite shocked. I was really hoping I could reach out for some specific assistance in developing a business plan. I’ve not asked any naive questions nor shown any lack of knowledge of the industry. In fact I work with you all on a daily basis as my career is focused...

Thanks to all those that have helped regarding the business plan question. Unfortunately It appears next time I ask a question I will need to also start a second thread…as to “Why I shouldn’t open a restaurant”…or “Other people’s horror stories”…So as to not distract from the original question...

I appreciate the feedback and concerns. My main focus is putting together the numbers. It’s a unique opportunity that presents itself as the landlord owns everything and isn’t liquidating. The previous business owner had some “unique internal challenges”. The building is fully furnished and...

My cool local place utilizes text messages to let people know what band is playing and what is special going on maybe two three times a month. I enjoy getting these messages and signed up for them. I also have unlimited text messages. It’s one form of successful marketing for them. On the other...

Still don’t understand…It appears you design websites from your web page but there isn’t a single online ordering customer listed just nicely done websites no way to place orders. I also don’t see any customers or POS providers that have integrated with you. Even if a POS provider CAN integrate...

The price of rent is all relative and as you look around talk with business brokers and other professionals FOR YOU AREA you will learn what is appropriate or not. Typically message boards bring out the naysayers, haters or just those that don’t add much helpful dialog. There are places that the...

There really isn’t much of a comparison. Deliver Plus is an older product designed with DOS ported to Windows. The development and addition of features has been minimal along with there marketing and adoption rate. Speedline is a complete opposite solid support addition of features and options...

Every shop needs good control over there books. It is super apparent that a POS isn’t being used or it’s use isn’t being enforced. A POS could track bar tabs, over and short trends for servers (or lack there of) Mega Touch pay-in’s etc… A POS always looks like an expensive line item but it’s the...

If you continue doing what your doing, your going to get the same results and most likely even less. You need cash coming in as fast as you can, call on schools drop off menus at local businesses think way, way outside of the box. Call up local charities have them staff the store answer the...

Uh you your employees your vendors whomever should never be seen by anyone eating, drinking chewing gum or whatever. Health...

Would like to help but…I’m a bit confused as to what features are important. I mean Pizza is super complicated fewer options are available that can handle pizza. If your not doing pizza than the options open up a bit more. When you say festivals it sounds like you need more of just a cash...

This is a good example of a lesson I was slow to learn myself. Ask questions…We often feel we know the answer and are quick to assume but without asking her why she was bothered one will never know. Next time you get a call or an employee comes up to you…just ask an extra question it’s amazing...
