Last Hurdle; First Day
We need approval and license from the NEA to start operating as a restaurant. In order to do so, we need the shop to be ready for inspection and also submit supporting documents. Liquor license was more straightforward and done online.
Today was also the first day that the restaurant saw it's full crew in action. Previously we were operating on a skeleton force of MD, Ops Manager and Head Chef. Everyone was at the shop today to receive goods and to pack things up. We have helluva lot more cleaning to do for the rest of the week. Surfaces need to be wiped, a few times, tableware need to be washed and don't forget the kitchen equipment that must be prepped for use. We need to decide where to keep everything and label the cabinets clearly. Everybody's morale was high and excited to setup a restaurant. People were eager to get things done and enthusiastic in helping one and other. Also, it's a good break from the monotony of working in an established establishment.
The staff of neighboring restaurants dropped by during their break time to say Hi and left some words of complements on the interior design of our place. Seems like a friendly bunch, them all! Especially, the manager of Grill-out, next door.
The menu needs to be type-setted and pricing of items finalised. It was a long way to get here from scratch and we are so close to our goal of opening our doors to you. We wish we could give you The Date right now but without the certainty of the NEA license it is just not possible.
Hang in there Fans!
