It is so fun to be in the restaurant business right now. When you place an order with our supplier you hope that it comes, and if it does come you hope that most of the products are on the truck. At FlapJacks we got tiny napkins we would use at Taylors and at Taylors we got large napkins that won’t fit in the dispensers. When we order bacon, we hope that we get bacon, and of course then you hope it is real bacon. When we try to interview someone over the phone we offer them $3.00 an hour more then we used to only to have them never show up for the actual interview. Then of course there are the days you find out a key employee got COVID while they were visiting relatives or you find out they were just at the zoo when they got COVID.
Any way if you come in and find us a little frazzled, please excuse us. I was actually hosting today in my shorts and tennis shoes. Hopefully things will improve but until then, please forgive us, or just bring us alcohol.
Folks, I will soon require all my employees to get vaccinated or they will have to get tested weekly. I do not see any reason to not get vaccinated. NONE. Now this may make things more difficult because some employees still refuse to and so we may lose employees. At this point, if we have to close 2 days a week but I feel it is safer we will do that. Anyway, it is sure fun to be in the restaurant business right now.
