Late & short

Today flew by and I was startled into getting this short blog up.
Today we spent time looking at the full yr 2009. Not bad for a first yr (+ a few months) restaurant / bakery biz - this according to our sometime consultant who has over 25 yrs in the biz.
We are poised to find the line between red & black and cross over into the + category this yr. Could be 1Q, no guarantees in this biz or most others, so we continue to take a somewhat cautious and certainly pragmatic view.
The key levers are costs and the work to be done to fine tune in this area is a slog and we have to do it. Taking day by day and seeing the good result based on customer satisfaction is fine and so important to real success, long term - however right now we have to watch all the pennies, be considered in any new expense and keep moving in the line of business that is / are our core competencies. So - artisan breads & lovely fresh meals. That is our core.
It's late, that's it for now.
