Work Is Non-Stop

 After four months in business, we figured our focus should turn to SEO marketing and pulling more reviews to raise our brand ranking in delivery apps. The names of the menu items seem to be too complicated and does not use keywords that consumer search for when looking for breakfast options. Our goal is to increase awareness of the brand along with visibility. Awareness can be achieved with SEO while visibility requires reviews from customers. We will leave a note in every order requesting reviews with some form of incentive, such as, a free drink on their next order. Adjusting the menu item names and description is in progress and should help with improving our SEO position.  There is a slight urge to expand the menu, but the concern is how can the inventory be maintained if the business is not making revenue. This concern signals that the business should focus on gaining more customers with a short menu that is served with consistent quality. Perhaps it is time to post busi...

Eggs For Days

One activity on my short list of things I enjoy doing is teaching. I like it because it gives me a bit more of hope in the future of mankind. It wouldn't be surprising that other people share this same inner conflict with the younger generations where they want to make sure this world is left in good hands after our own time. But why? Why do I care so much about the disruptive youths that I have a desire to teach them how to be better humans? Would they even listen to me? Perhaps I should just focus on those that are willing to listen. The class material for training employees to work at my business is in development and it should allow smooth process from hire to line work. In a way, might be beneficial to re-learn everything in detail, for as they say, teaching is the best way to learn. 

Better Late Than Never

There's about fifteen minutes left before it's officially tomorrow. I just want you to know that I started before midnight, therefore, should be counted as work from today. Since I am still awake from this morning, that means this entry is the what I thought about from this day. There is something that must be done and that is to write the training manual for future employees. Through experience of live orders we were able to develop some adjustments for more efficiency in the processing of ingredients to packaging. 

Resurrection and Colored Eggs

Never have I felt so lost than how I feel now. Owning a business doesn't guarantee success and no one tells you that there is no guide to take you there. Everything must be figured out by yourself. You have to do everything. And everyday it feels so overwhelming, not knowing if what you do today will bring profit tomorrow. I just feel stuck, again, but worse this time. What can I do to improve sales without having to use money? Pretty much, everything I can think of doing for marketing and advertising involves a transaction of money. What methods have I not tried that is low cost or free? The uncertainty of near future earnings seems to frustrate me the most. What am I overlooking, or have not noticed to work on? I can't just pray for a better day. I have to do something about it. But what? At this point, I guess, anything to convert sales.  Could it be that due to a sense of hopelessness I am more susceptible to be drawn into entertainment for the sake of passing time and to d...

Four For Fore

 It's pretty evident that I prefer physical work over technical tasks such as writing and administration, basically, office work. I feel like I have to know exactly what I want to do before writing anything. Even now, as I hesitate to write this, I am incrementally deciding what to write. This blog wasn't really meant to have any direction. It's just a way for me to let out my thoughts for me to ponder about as I read it over, later. More like a freeform journal than a book with a story and plot. ADHD is on full blast, in my mind. World news today is only adding fuel to the fire of chaos. I think I'll go back to reading daily. I don't see how most of the stuff happening around the world has any direct effect on me. As much as people complain about the evils of political leaders, I have yet to see any action be taken by the mass population to eradicate them. Just talk, no walk. Accusations and allegations but mass confusion causing deflection of blame to others who s...

TGI Good Friday

We have several projects in progress, simultaneously. The primary operation being the restaurant business and events planning as a close second. Let's identify the subtasks for these two categories and maybe we can relieve some mental pressure. It feels like there is an overwhelming amount of work that needs to be done, but it could just be my perception. The amount of work might turn out to be less than expected.  After doing some reorganizing of the shop, I think there is more that I can improve on when it comes to workflow efficiency. Space is limited, indeed, but I noticed there are some slow movers, like the brown paper bags, which I don't use, anymore.  I still have quick sessions of doom scrolling. Need to stop myself sooner and try to break the frequency. I should focus on work, but that mean I have to create the work that needs to be done to get me closer to my goals. What are my goals? I want to develop this business far enough to where I have employees running it fo...

Third Time's a Charm

It's only been three days and I can already feel the declining interest to maintain this blog. There are some specific questions that linger in my mind that causes this; Who am I to think I am someone of importance to write something for others to read? Who will read it? Why would they care? Nihilism is quite prevalent. We should change the lens which we see the world with.  What others can gain from my writing should not be more important than my desire to organize my thoughts. It would be difficult for others to learn anything from cluttered slop of info which they would have to organize themselves. We have some tasks to tackle, today.  Updating the names of menu items should be fairly easy in comparison to creating a kids menu.  Dammit, had another doom scrolling session. Maybe about 15 minutes. I had to disengage before it pulled me in deeper. Anything about conspiracies and government cover-ups seem to entrance me the most. But, why? I think a lot of media about cons...
