You took the plunge and it is time to swim. Good luck on your venture, it sounds like you have a great sense of business and a great plan. Remember even if the outside isn't what you like with the cheap blue vinyl, if you do great bbq people will come!

Hey Marubozo.
Congratulations on your decision. I really do hope it works out for you. I was wondering if you could give us some pics of the kitchen and working areas where the action is going to happen. Most of us are probably more interested in that than the decor! Cheers! (Subscribed) Bill

One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet is using social media as much as possible. FB, Twitter, and Yelp are all great free marketing tools and many people use them to find new/good Q.
Best of luck to you. I can't wait to hear about your progress. - Frank |

Well, pig will be in the new name, so I may have to do that. Those details will come later.

The kitchen is a blessing and a curse. It's HUGE, which isn't needed at all for this small of an operation, especially one that isn't cooking food to order like a typical restaurant. Kitchen area is probably around 800 sq/ft, and it has an 8x8' walk-in cooler, and 6x6' walk-in freezer on top of that. I just need to find a way to maximize the space. |

It doesn't look like the previous place was in business very long. Just a few months. I wish you the best in this business venture.

I am with Landarc. Open with the least amount of capital investment. Good food and word of mouth is KEY! Treat your curious, first time clients like your beloved family, serve them food that you, yourself love. Make it with all of your Heart and never compromise!
Give, Give, Give until it hurts. Then re-evaluate. Was it worth it? Monetarily, as well as Physically, Emotionally, & Mentally. Look at the financials after 9 mos, at least. Was it worth it? YES/No. Decision time...Can you, or do you want to continue?????? HAVING BEEN IN YOUR SHOES, I wish you the best! I would do it again, anytime! I am just Stupid like that!

Nice people and I eat at their place often, but they just spread themselves too thin with two places. But they are already sending business my way and telling everybody about this new BBQ place, so it should be a good mutual relationship since we don't step on eachother's toes in terms of menu or open times.

That is the worst side of the house. Good luck to you! I mean that with all sincerity. The "Why I can't come to work book" Is long and pitiful.

Congrats and welcome from the East side!
I look forward to coming over and meeting you when you open! Lots of BBQ joints opening in Michigan lately. What is your restaurant background? What kind of smoker are you going to cook on? Lemme know if theres anything i can do to help!
