Rainy Sunday

149 people had meals @ Br today & the feel from both front & back of house was that it went smoothly and customers were well served. Thanks definitely growth.
and last night we did 40 dinners with all but one party exceedingly happy with our top 3: food, ambience & service. I'm afraid one party found our non-huge portions not to their liking & felt they were under served in the food category - how to make known to a new party that we are not serving huge plates of food, I don't know.
This week some decisions will be made re: Valentine's Day menu & how we will execute on that day & most likely the Sat night (2/13) as well; another weekend of fund-raising for Haiti & probably 1--+ other really small things that are necessary for keeping the Br working day in & day out.
Thinking about hiring -- we continue to learn what the key traits are for workers at BR. Right now we are in fab space -- everyone on board wants to work following BR vision & they all see the value to them from what I see. The next big need, is waitstaff to support our volume growth. Know anyone who might be a fit? Reply here. So far the responses to a print & online local press advert are bringing out non-experienced candidates more than experienced. It's abit like the Marines: ' we need a few good ___(have they changed it to men & women?)

Pizza for dinner here, yeah Cranbury Pizza!
