Decisions
Let me start by wishing everyone Happy Hanukwanzahindumas! (that should cover everyone).
Another crazy day at UGLY. I have to get rid of one of the staff...the worst I have ever seen. I will wait til after Christmas.
Another crazy day....busy for lunch, happy hour, then late for a big post Holiday party party. (whatever that means).
My manager Brian (who used to own the Dragon Ice Co. - which is why we have the best wings in the world) got me all fired up yesterday. He got me all pumped up! We have decided to lower our drink prices. My old manager (no longer with us...not dead...just not employed by UGLY) talked me into higher drink prices. You see, in the bar industry everything is based on liquor percentage! The higher you charge for drinks, the better the percentage.
BUT, the higher the drink prices the less frequent return you get on customers.
Lower drink prices...the less you make, but the better return on guests!
I am in this business for the long run. I am born and raised in Pittsburgh, so I want this to be a Pittsburgh bar....and I never want a customer to walk out thinking they paid too much for a drink.
So.....starting Monday....our drink prices will go down!
I am debating on whether to open Monday or not? Any suggestions?
I think it would be better to give my UGLY family the day off....
By the way....Chef Darrell makes the best lunch features...yesterday he made a bourbon mollasses (sp?) steak sandwitch....crazy good.
I hope tonight is busy. We are doing .50 cent Captain Morgan's and .50 Miller Lites. We actually lose money on every single Captain drink we sell. We need to get our name out there and make an impact....so hopefully it works.
New Years Eve....we just decided to do a huge Steak dinner....Black Angus Delmonico's...you get the idea.......plus no cover and $3 drinks.
This is a great business....
By the way I did my first stand up comedy last night at the Improv. People laughed...that's a good thing!
