It's even more important right now to let those contemplating a strategic move with their restaurant operations to make sure they are using qualified professionals to help. I realize every development dollar is important to operators, however true professionals always find ways to save even more as Team players.

I appreciate your comment and offer. I do not want to ruin any of my relationships either :). My husband and I are very new to the industry and want to do things correct the first time in order to set us up for success. Our partners are wonderful people and we all understand the need to be cost effective, but I don't want to create problems from the get go.

Take care,

Tammy
