Biography: I grew up in southeast Indiana and my parents owned and operated a bakery. My dad has been a baker for over 40 years and still has the same bakery. I worked FOH at the bakery while in high school and summers during college. I still love to help with Christmas cookies and Ginger Bread House creations! His baked goods are the best!

My husband and I were owners of a steak house in Reno from 2001 to 2003. The restaurant was awesome and my famous salad was put on the menu. I don't really cook, but I bake and love to make salads with fresh, local ingredients. I am known for my salads and my cheesecake (my grandmother's recipe).

I currently live in Santa Clara with my husband Michael and I work for a telecommunications company in the corporate finance area. I am also a licensed real estate agent in Nevada.

I am a total foodie and Michael is a fabulous cook! We love to dine out and try new restaurants. I also enjoy wine, beer and a good cocktail from time to time.

Having expertise in your product is expected at a speciatly establishment. If you brag about how great your product is, then serve it with mediocre condiments, there is an immediate disconnect. Add poor customer service and you may never go back. Worse for the establishment, tell other about your experience...

Yesterday, I bypassed Starbucks in Santana Row for the tea place around the corner. A real tea house! I love tea and I was excited to finally try this place.

Well, my…

Butts in Seats

Posted on December 21, 2007 at 9:18pm 4 Comments 0 Likes

That's is a pretty old saying. I grew up in the bakery business and remember hearing my parents talking about "butts in seats, gotta have butts in those seats", whatever that meant. I know what it means now that I am always looking for new ways to bring in more people. Customer counts are pretty important and so is frequency.

Getting new and old customers in the door with growing competion is a challenge. Any ideas?

I found this group out of Mesa, Arizona. They are… Continue

Cheers
