Relaxed this morning. Got ready and went to BF and got some brisket, ham, mashed potatoes and banana cake for lunch at Ed's Dad's house. Carolyn, Melanie, Zach and William were there, as well as Ed, Todd, Amber, Bryant, Christian and myself. Mike and Tim could not come. We had a great visit. William and Christian are almost the same size, but you can tell Christian is younger by observation. It was nice to see everyone together.
I have hired a new employee (my assistant) and she starts working tomorrow. Looking forward to having some help, just need patience to train her.
Excited about some advertising we are doing for Bottomfeeders. We will be in the Tuscaloosa Magazine soon and have two television commercials in the works.
I can feel the business starting to look up. My presence on the scene is a help to my staff and my customers. Customers like for management to come to their table and ask how their food is. I know I appreciate it when I get special attention. The restaurant has some great potential, but needs alot of TLC to achieve my goal of consistency of product, good taste, and excellent customer service. I want my customers to tell others and to come back at least once a week. If I can get every customer that comes in the door to come back, I am achieving a great thing.
