We have had a few setbacks in the renovations in the restaurant. The first contractors we hired to do everything else with the restaurant don't know how to cut out the stove/3 burner that is connected to the wall and other appliances. This will probably delay us at least another few days as we search for someone who knows how to do this.
With that being said, I have done a lot in this time. I have interviewed a few people who all seem to fit what I would like in employees. The ones that have experience are going to be helpful because they know how to converse with customers, how to work as a team, and work in the kitchen. The ones that are younger and do not have that experience are friendly and charismatic and willing and wanting to learn.
We have been working on the menu and decided on grilled banana s'mores as a clever way of delivering the tasty beach snack in a different light. We are also thinking of other ways to make bacon cinnamon rolls. The current way takes 25-30 minutes and we need to somehow make it quicker but just as good. Thoughts?
Hopefully we will get the bank loan for the equipment we are seeking to purchase. Without it, we will be a lot tighter on capital than I feel comfortable with.

Updates
Let's update our status!
Menu:
Still working on some food and dessert items. The drink items are largely accounted for but we are still tinkering with food items that are sure to be a hit. How does sweet and spicy chicken wings sound? You want some pizza fries with that? How about some stoner tots? Bring on the smore dessert rolls! Any suggestions?
Location:
The old restaurant has finally moved out, so after the long weekend, the contractors will come and work on setting up the grease traps and then we can also get the place thoroughly cleaned and the back repainted and redone.
Staff:
Still trying to find a few more part-time waitresses/servers.
Paperwork:
Need to finish licenses, permits and other things but can't file fictitious business name yet because the old place hasn't officially "closed down" with the city.
Further updates soon!
