Another week in the books

Well, I made it through another week. This was a really tough week. my first week of doing school lunches. 3 days last week I was at work at 730 am, when I'm not used to getting there til at the earliest 10am. I got a lot of stuff done last week though. The store is looking great. We've been cleaning, re organizing, and last nite I even started painting. Everyone has noticed the changes and seem to be drawing some energy from them. A few of the workers are more conscious of their service numbers and that helps the store as well. All in all, it's going pretty good. This week I need to start formulating my marketing plan to help bring sales up. Let's face it a few new coats of paint and elbow grease can only go so far. Eventually, they'll be looking at the bottom line and if it's not rising, they'll be looking to replace me.

I definitely want to begin with a business and lunch marketing campaign. That is our biggest need right now, i think. To me, it should be the easier one to fix then the residential. We know people eat lunch at work during the day. It's just a matter of getting them to want to eat at our place.
