@Sandy, how you guy's planning to market the place?

SandyB · December 14, 2010, 08:07:18 PM

THE NEWS IS OUT IN THE AREA .. AND YES WE GOT A SPOT IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER ,, INTEREST IS HIGH AND YES FLYERS DISTRUBUTED BY LESSER FORTUNATE FOLK ... CONSIDERING A PAYBACK TO PAMPHLET DISTRIBUTORS FOR EVERY HIT WE GET ... SIMPLE PHILOSOPHY .. OF BENEFIT ...
BUT KNOW THE PLACE WILL SELL ITSELF ...

Hey Sandy, how about posting a telephone number for the restaurant, as well as address/directions to get there?

SandyB · December 17, 2010, 09:01:43 AM

@ Bertie , as things are going at the moment delays and obstacles ... awaiting a Telkom line ....

SandyB · December 19, 2010, 05:43:51 PM

Update .. things falling into place ,,, got the outside roof covering in place today ... tomorrow we doing assembly of interior ... so watch this space ,,

Well what a day !! We got to the shop at 07:00 and pulled day plan together : staff were all due to arrive at 08:00 for final setup and clean .. all arrived .. got busy .. later in the morning had a meeting and outlined game plan .. then me went off shopping for last minute ingredients as our one supplier let us down .. got back to the news the one waiter went off to " go down to the corner shop " never to return , bad enough we had to fire the aspirant chef after only 3 weeks trial , she had no passion for food and no commitment to our dream , found a mature ( my age divorcee who has walked lifes mile and is not afraid to work has a passion for food and our dream as it presents an opportunity for her too to share in our success ) ... interesting times ... here some pics of the now setup interior ,, no pics or anything on the walls yet but that's all to come ...
Please excuse some of the fuzzypics had severe shakes today ...
Note Paul and Gairo ( front of house posing )

Michele Alexander (Voden) · January 04, 2011, 07:10:23 AM

Sandy - your place is looking amazing!

Unfortunately when you need to employ a number of people there are always hassles but eventually you will find a team that will work well together and provide the level of service that you require of them!

Wishing you everything of the best and look forward to reading lots of reviews!

Please scan a copy of the menu so that whilst we're sat here eating our Spar food we can drool over what you have on offer!

Michael Alexander · January 04, 2011, 07:42:26 AM

Great Idea Michele, one scanned Menu please Sandy!

... and don';t trust anyone!
