amazing what’s on the net

Florida has pretty open records online available.  Food inspections are available online and our local paper regularly publishes a link, too.

Today I tried a quick google of a local restaurant to pull their phone number for a follow up (yes even I get too lazy to open a customer file) and guess what I found?

On the first page of google, before the page break, was a site that publishes restaurant health scores and this restaurant’s score was listed.  I think, now more than ever, it’s important to be aware that everything you do in your restaurant is available online.

How could it dramatically affect your business if they are searching for a restaurant in your area and your name comes up with a poor score?

I also wanted to share a nifty little program for the i-phone called :urbanspoon:  This program randomly picks a local restaurant for you according to price, location, type of food, etc.

Huge CASH sale coming & also other stuff

Sometimes you meet folks that are just so good they renew your faith in mankind.  The last week has been that sort of week.  We’ve met so many good people, been visited by so many regular customers friends who are just the sweetest and well it’s been a good week.  And you know what, in the process we also made a few new friends.

I also have to say that in working to help Pathways I’ve come across sooooooo many nice folks in Central Florida.  Not one person has said they’re too busy to help.  In fact we’ve had folks refer friends and step up to hire professional fundraisers, to help with construction efforts and dropping off clothing.  You are wonderful and we are making a difference.

It’s been a tough week for some of our friends in this business, too.  I sit here and cry while I type this.  The W. Family had to unplug their two week old grandbaby from life support.  My heart and soul cry out as a mother to them and I wish … well words can never even begin to express what I wish.  I wish to just envelope them in one big hug and hold them until things are better.  And the loss of the child… that can never be easy.

We are getting to that time that we need to blowout equipment as we have too much coming in and not enough room in all of our warehouses; thankfully for our last expansion effort I don’t have to worry about equipment replacing my desk this time.  Keep posted at the top of this site where we will have a CASH SALE listed.  There will be crazy prices listed there.  Prepare to buy some equipment you’ve needed.

I’ll post  in a moment listing a few of the items and prices.

Do stop in and say hello.  It’s not always about buying and selling restaurant equipment- sometimes it’s just about meeting another genuine human and appreciating them as a good person.  If you ever need anything and we can be of service to make a collateral contact for you or refer you to another good person in the business please let me know!
