The week

By now you might have listened to the new audio blog in the previous post. It was just a trial run and has no content, just wanted to see what it was like. Its a cool new feature that Mike Causey has turned me on to. I will only audio blog only a couple of times a week for general content. The business blogs concerning my experiences opening a BBQ restaurant will still be in type form. I'm looking forward to the audio blog, it enables me to blog on the fly. In the next few weeks we're going start adding some video content as well.
This past week ended up being a really good week. Again, sales are all over the place and have no rhyme or reason to them. Wednesday night was a very, very slow day. I started to anticipate us having a really bad week. Thursday picked up, Friday was o.k., and then Saturday hit. Saturday, thanks to a couple of small catering orders that added about $500.00 to the day, we set a new record day in sales. To set both gross sales records in the month of February, which is the absolute slowest month in the restaurant industry, is a very encouraging sign for the year to come. I am going to revisit extending the porch on the front of the Joint to make it a deck for this spring. I'll submit an application for that this week with the city. The picture is of singer/songwriter Kaci Allen. She played a few weeks ago.
