The place is very small with less than 1,000 square feet. The dining room will only seat 15-20 and I'll have a couple of picnic tabels outside.

This reminds me of a very small Tex-Mex place a family friend had. He used to have a sign that said "Seating for 100 - 12 at a time." Best of luck with your new venture.

Same here and I like it a lot now that I can go out to eat wtihout smelling cig. smoke. There was a vast increase in membership to American Legion Halls and Elks Clubs. Not considered a public place as you need to be a member.

no ribs? i have considered droping ribs from my tenative menu but everyone tells me im crazy, but i see it as my highest cost, lowest profit, easiest thing to screw up, and piss people off food. ribs are either the best or the worst never in between imo.

UPDATE...
Tons of work.
Place dirty...so are my hands.
New paint smell.
Sign finally approved by the town board.
Still have to paint the front facade.
Hoping for two weeks to open.
Pictures are overrated.

The pics would have been nice to see how a modest place is put together.
Unlike Sugars (now defunct) place, something along the lines of what you are doing may be within reach of my business in the near future.
Thus wanting to actually see what you did with the place is a logical request.
I'm a nuts and bolts kinda guy- I like to know how things are put together beyond what I got from Sugars thread........................
I have yet to see how a raunt is actually put together with any kind of clarity. What equipment to buy, how it's set up for proper work flow, seating arrangements, etc.
What works, what doesn't work, what I wish I did differently....................
Best of luck with your place!

Yea right Mike, I tried posting (a while back) some of my own experiences (good and bad) and got flamed by a couple "guys" (i have to keep it clean..  ) for being "unprofessional" for not already knowing how to handle the given situation due to my many years in this business. So good luck in your quest my friend...  |
