Looks awesome

Just pull off those stickers from the tvs boet!

Tue Sep 15, 2020 8:59 am

That was our start point....of course you cant see the prep area...store and office area...thats all behind the front cooking area....but equally as important.

Yeah...those stickers will come off once the Point of sale guy loads the menu onto the media players....

You got to understand that most of the details were done on Saturdays and Sundays...Kids were biatching like crazy because they see so little of us.

Our first scheduled opening date was the 11 September...

Until we realized what the date was

My missus liked the idea of being honest re the year...we can laugh about it later

I am vokked...exhausted...

It's not easy running a business and setting up another startup at the same time. Especially when your business is busy.

All I can say now is thank vok....

We just completed 3 days of training for the staff. It went very well. Our menu is simple which helped a lot. And we managed to get some really experienced staff so that helped a lot...our grillers are top notch. Our packer is a bit slow but it will get better with experience. Our prep is perfect. The tellers know what they are doing and my wife will spend more time with them.

This all came on because of Covid so that's the positive....

Monday I am at my job and the missus will be prepping for our official opening on Tuesday. Tomorrow I just manage a touch up crew and then its done...Tuesday I will be there as standby for the equipment but I see no issues after the training...equipment was perfect and my layout worked ... that's all I was worried about.

Wish us luck for Tuesday lads and if in the area pop in for a visit...marketing will start from this afternoon after we decided we are ready.
.
P S. This has been an incredible journey...so much creative juices flowing. So much to learn. As I have been saying to my clients that have been watching with interest....I now know what it means to be on the other side.

P.S S....My house and garden look like shit....

Don't think I'm made for the food industry. Up at 6 this morning to get 3 hours of work (accounting) in, but almost done and then a lazy Sunday ahead of me. Church, burgers on the Weber, MotoGP (go Binder) and movies.

Best of luck for the opening. I've told my family in Sunningdale to check you out.

Sun Sep 20, 2020 2:36 pm

Great stuff, Sards.
Best of luck with the new venture.

Sun Sep 20, 2020 3:22 pm

Best of luck Sards.

I’ll try to swing by and give it a try when I’m in that area again.

Don't knock it if you don't understand it. Come to think of it, you won't understand it if you only watch the high lights.

Boet, I'm happy to draw pictures if it will help you understand.

Also, don't take this bored too serious. Maybe time to take a step back and come back stronger?

I would only watch MotoGP if Malherbe was one of the riders.

Horses for courses, but I am on Average Joe and Nipper's side on this one.
By Jupiter, I can't think of anything more boring than watching cars going round and round and round...ad infinitum.

I only ever watch the start. Then it becomes a bit tedious

Definitely agree. Give them weapons or some shit like that and I'd watch though.

No surprise that a sport at the peak of technology, involving statistics and split-second timing would be too complicated to keep the attention of you slow, Boer types.
