Sales.....
February is notoriously the weakest month in the restaurant business. I dont care what category your food is under, February sucks! I say that to say that last week ended up being really strong and consistent. All winter has been a lot better than I expected. This week however, is looking rough. Snow hit yesterday morning and we all know what that means as southerners. Business was as slow as its been in well over a year yesterday. Its sunny and 54 today (supposed to be) so I'm looking for and/or hoping for a bounce. We'll see what happens. I'm supposed to be headed to Austin this coming Wednesday for the NBBQA convention but now have to figure out how to squeeze in Louisville also. Dont know how yet I'm going to do that but we'll see.
Please let us know what your thoughts are on the convention. I regret not being able to attend, but I look forward to attending next year.
