Gentlemen start your engines. Post #7

Hello everybody. Hope you’re having great Long weekend. Friday was a big day for me. I’m already starting to double book myself in meetings ha ha ha. Friday I had a meeting with the designer at 10:30. Forgetting, that I booked a bank appointment for 10am (silly me.) I haven’t even started this Resto yet and already I need a P.A.!

So I get to the bank. And get my new account set up with no problems. She was very nice to me this time so. Don’t know if she read my blog or was just happy I was doing my banking with her company. Anyway in and out no worries now just got to fill it now.

So after that, off to the restaurant to meet with the designer, Floor guy, Electrician and Marketing designer to measuring up things and such. We won’t be able to do what we wanted with the floor as the Resto is in the place of to separate stores and the floors are uneven. To fix it up right would cost a lot of money and seriously eat into my budget. So we can’t have that. I have to be careful here. It is taken every fibre in my being to come up with the money I have. I can’t be wasting it. I mean of course I’d love to dump a million dollars into the place but sadly reality has to be so rude and step in.  Resto’s are about the food. A nice décor and comfortable chairs. My chairs are a bit price but last thing I want is someone’s back to be sore have way though the main coarse and they can’t wait to get outta there. I want ppl to come to my Resto to enjoy everything. The ambiance, the food, the service.

We were at the Resto for 2 hours. I won’t bore you with the details but let me tell I’m completely drained at night now. All these meetings and designing and bank accounts are mentally draining. Of coarse I’m outta my league here as well. I mean I’ve be behind the stoves for 25 years. So this is all new and exciting and SCARY!!!  But it is starting to sink in now. (That I’m a restaurateur.) Jake had text me while I was at the Resto and he asked where I was, I replied LBM (Le Bon Marché) with out even thinking about it. Of coarse, he new exactly what I was talking about.

So not much exciting news to tell you at this point But things are in full swing. Have a good rest of the weekend and happy first week of school to the youngsters out there.
