That lunch sure beat my PB&J sammiches.
I'd hold the GC's arse to the fire on this one. No permit = delayed opening = loss of revenue = loss of full payment.

And of course, the electrician shows up a day early to hard wire the smoker. Just great, because it's not like I'm in the middle of cooking about 100 dollars worth of meat right now... |

But the electrician is there, so that is a bonus with the way things have been going right?

And I guess there's always good to balance the bad because I just hired my two cooks this afternoon. Couldn't have asked for more qualified candidates. One lady who has been the sous chef for a resort for years and used to manage a staff of 11 cooks, and a guy who lost his job at another BBQ joint in the area when they closed. I was starting to grow concerned when the only applicants I had would either not show up for their interview, be convicted felons, or had absolutely no restaurant experience. |

Word of warning here, and I am glad you got two people on board just in time for opening. If you can, find out why the other place closed. If it was just time for the owners to shut down, that is fine. But, places that go out of business, often suffer from poor work and cooking habits. You want to make sure you are there, and see if there are any issues. A lot of restuarants shut down because the owner just doesn't pay enough attention to the details.
Now, send me some beef ribs

Sorry to hear about your troubles. As if opening a restaurant isn't tough enough, the stupid overreaching government makes it worse.
In a year or two, it'll barely be a memory

Amazing thread, it has solidified my thoughts....I never want to open my own place.
Good luck getting through the final hurdles! I wish you and your family the best. I live no where near you, but when they become available, I would love to buy a t-shirt.

After reading this whole thread and considering things that I've seen, I have to wonder is business for contractors so good that they can blow off customers like they seemingly do?

On the yes side, there is a lot of work out there right now. On the no side, it is not paying as well as it used to, so many of these guys book multiple jobs
