WOW
Oh the difference a few hours make. If you read my blog from early this morning (yes I get up at 3am and don't get to bed til after 11pm or so), you read that the bar/restaurant business is slow this time of year, especially on the North Shore.
I left the radio station (WZPT Star 100.7) and went down to the bararound 10:30a. Of course one of my bartenders no showed, so I put a rookie behind the bar....what a mistake.
Then it happened.
A group came in....then another and another and another....the next thing you know every seat in the building is full and so is the bar.
That is when owning a bar is the most fun and the most stressful. You know you have less than one hour to get a great meal in front of every person and have them, sat, fed and out the door and back to work with a very positive experience.
Easy enough???
I wish!
I was a bartender, a barback, a food runner, an expeditor, a busboy and a host and greeter all in that one hour.
We made it....no major problems...a couple of mistakes here in there, but for the most part I feel it went smoothly.
But that was not the end....from there we had about an hour down time...and it started all over again.
We had a small party from Alcoa that came by. The really had some great food and a good time...and the people started piling in again.
We really had a nice happy hour of people that work on the North Shore.
It's funny...we have not even advertised our food yet. Everybody that is coming in is saying that they are coming in via positive reccomendations from co-workers etc.
Our food really is that good....I just never thought it would take off this quickly.
You see, we don't even have a freezer in our building. Therefore everything we make is from scratch and homemade. Nothing EVER frozen. Fresh deliveries every single day.
Scott Tady from the Beaver County Times came by to check the place out. Hopefully he enjoyed everything and will give us a good write up???
I put every single dollar I have in the world in this place....I need all the help I can get.
What will tomorrow bring???
Who knows???
All I know is that I will be wearing many hats regardless of what the day may bring.
Oh....and by the way....if you are near the Waterfront tomorrow night....I am doing stand up comedy for the first time ever at the Improv starting at 8pm.
thanks for reading....
