Wow!
First off, we are going to try opening Flapjacks Friday and Saturday nights from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM for just Burgers, Shakes, and Fries. Again this will be for take-out only. So it will be like the old days with “car hops”. We will try this. I would strongly suggest you download the ChowNow app so we can get the payment prepaid. The menu will be like the one we have at Taylors with a limited menu. However, we will still have lasagna and a meatloaf dinner that you can purchase to reheat.
Second. This is me venting. The government has told us that if we stay open they will give us money to operate for 10 weeks. The problem is when you apply you are in competition with 30 million other businesses. Ok, say the government gives the Bank of So & So $10,000,000 dollars to dole out, and the bank has 1000 businesses apply. If you’re the bank, you think, hey, it is too much work to go through all of these. Let’s just lend it to our biggest customers. Consequently, most of us don’t get any money. I don’t know if this is how it works, but I don’t know of any small business like mine that has received any response let alone any money. But, a friend of mine who has a large business has already received the money. Very large restaurant chains have gotten $30,000,000 so far. For me, my landlords are still charging rent, so in my present state, I am losing about $12,000 a month for each restaurant. So, if one of you knows somebody, let them know we SMALL businesses are having a very tough time, which means that eventually my employees, will have a tough time.
Third. So I still don’t understand the term “Noise Cancelling Headphones”. My son goes around singing and playing the guitar and playing the drums and we have to throw things at him to get his attention. Is the purpose of these so you don’t hear your parents. Because, if that is the case, they nailed it.
