Running a business is nothing I believe you can prepare for in a classroom environment. As of October 20, 2009, we will have been in operations for a year and a half. Wow, what a ride. I often say to myself, "Can I ever catch a break?" Born in Youngstown, OH in January 1983 I, along with other staff members, never got to see the heyday of the city or rather the good times. Our orientation to the city was that of vacant buildings, drugs, violence, murder and an overall sense of hopelessness. And then, (for me) 25 years later I start a company and lo and behold... worst economy in decades. Geez. As Kurtis Blow once, so famously stated, "Those are the breaks!"
Well, you can do one of two things:
1. Sit there, complain and take it.
2. Get proactive and do something to change your fortunes
If you haven't figured out which of the options we're taking, the fact that our company is still existing in the worst economy in decades should give you a hint. We've been looking to expand and figuring out ways to better meet our customers needs and increase revenues. If you have any suggestions on how we can provide a better service, please let us know.
We want to do everything humanly possible to serve our customers but need to have the necessary sales to support our operations. If you like the service we provide and want more of it or just like what we stand for, a group of young, local entrepreneurs trying to add to the local economic firepower then please help us do this by supporting us with your dollars. Not only do you support us but also the local restaurant industry at the same time. And with your investment we will make it grow ten fold into a company that not only provides a great service, but generates tax revenue for local government programs, creates local jobs for web developers, software developers, marketing and sales representatives, etc. and is a beacon of hope for a generations of disenfranchised youth that yes, you can actually succeed, even in Youngstown, OH.
Best Regards,
Derek Caffe
