Yesterday fell right in line with every other Tuesday for since October. I guess we've finally hit our stride. Our daily sales through the week are becoming very predictable. Hopefully in the next few weeks I can start concentrating on catering for the spring. Relatively speaking, in relation to other bbq restaurants, we did not do much catering in 2007 because I didnt want to lose focus of the Joint. I wanted all I could get but was careful to go get what I asked for because we could have overextended ourselves and hurt our reputation by not being able to adequately service the demand. This year we are better suited and more comfortable from an operations standpoint to take that on. In the next few weeks I'll outline a sales plan here on the blog.
Glad to hear things are going smoothly. I've been following along, and it's been exciting to "watch" your place grow. When you have a chance, maybe you could take us through a typical day in your life at the restaurant, if there is such a thing. I'd love to read about the nitty gritty.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Hey...we love your place and really enjoy going out there. Can you do me one favor. The past three times I've gone to your place on Friday nights to get brisket tacos you all have been out of brisket. It never fails. Each time was approx 7 o'clock.
ReplyDeleteThrow one more brisket on the smoker for me on Fridays would you?
