3 Last-Minute Ideas to Promote Mother's Day

Here's my quick list of how to capture some Mother's Day traffic for your restaurant:

1. This Saturday - Head to the ball fields. Arm yourself with a little lemonade and about 200 flyers. Talk up that brunch and get Mother's Day brunch plans in the minds of the soccer, t-ball and baseball parents.

2. Hit the neighborhood. Visit your neighboring businesses to hand out some sweet desserts, a few menus/flyers and spread the word. Try salons, day spas, dry cleaners and…

Serving the Community & Enjoying Ourselves

There is an unbelievable amount of activity in the bagel shop recently. We’ve had several break downs of equipment so I haven’t made the time to sit and write. I’ve been out and about big time, from the roof to inside the oven. No joke. I wish I took a picture from the roof. I do not want to go back up:)

Steve, from…

I've Gotta Feeling That Today's Gonna Be a Good Day!

Ever since Bill aka @culturedude and Susan @culturebabe brought this video to my attention I've been playing it to launch every session I do and sometimes just to start or energize my day.

It reminds me of a concept Kathleen Wood, who provides growth strategies to Leaders and Businesses has been working with us on called "The Power of… Continue

Before you could say farm-to-the-table, there was my daddy

My daddy, never dad or father but daddy, loved to grow vegetables that along with fishing were his joys. I can’t rant and rave about his cooking skills, he could ruin a steak or burger on the grill in a New York minute but he could grow veggies. It was never one variety of tomatoes it was plum, big boy, cherry, yellow and other varieties or the cucumbers were the regular ones you know from salads, pickling cucumbers and lemon cucumbers. Corn and peppers, you name he grew it, out in our backyard… Continue

It's Cherry Thing-a-Ling Day in Batesville!

Every year for the past 40+ years, the Schmidt family bakery in Batesville, Indiana has produced these unique cherry delights called Cherry Thing-a-lings™. Thing-a-lings have an almost cult-like following with shipments being requested months in advance.

It started out to honor George Washington and his fondness for all things, well, cherry. Clem Schmidt, founder and owner… Continue

Playing hooky

Just wanted to take the time to give a shout-out to all the fantastic members of the restaurant industry who braved the frigid conditions to go into work today.

Outside my window, a blanket of snow 12 inches deep covers the ground. All area schools are closed today, as well as many doctor’s offices and day care centers. People don’t expect their kids to have school today, and many have opted to work from home rather than endure the freezing temperatures, slick roads and mounds of… Continue

2009 BE the CHANGE you wish to see.

It was the week before the election. I left Lexington, KY and made my way to Dayton, OH. The gang was late. I waited anxiously, texting to confirm ETA's and yelling for Nicole to hurry up. Slowly but surely the crew arrived and, finally, Nicole strolled out looking like "Obama Girl"…

Including bright blue heels.

I asked, "You sure you want to wear those shoes??!! Then, I decided to drop it. We were late and I figured what the hell, maybe it will work to our… Continue

Beyond Voting: Government is Everyone's Every Day Responsibility

Hello FohBoh, it's been a while.

It's really been an incredible and exciting year on so many levels it defies description. For me, one of the most important developments was the financial collapse on Wall Street and the subsequent outrage by the American People.

I think this year, our electorate has been energized like never before with the potential candidacy of Hillary Clinton and the candidacies of "celebrity" politicians like Barack Obama and Sarah Palin. And for those… Continue

Non-Operator What it is like being a new employee.

The quote below came from a new employee at a convenience store. She say a lot in one sentence. And we wonder why new employees quit at the end of the first day.

"Be nice to the trainee. Yes, they suck at working the register. Yes they have no clue what they are doing. Yes they are probably slowing down your busy life. But please understand that being a trainee suck, and knowing you suck...will it sucks."

Learn about how you need to treat new employees.… Continue

Food blog of the day

There are so many great food blogs out there that it's really tough to select just one to feature. So I'll be highlighting some of my favorites from time to time here.

Since I'm known for my unrelenting sweet tooth (which my dentist claims he doesn't appreciate... but it gives him more business, right?), my food blog of the day is Cupcakes Take the Cake (… Continue

Happy Fathers Day

I was just reviewing some recent photos taken and being stored in my files when I came across this one. That's my 84 year old father and my wife, Kim standing near his home in Irvine, California.

My dad is a former Navy man and proudly served in WW II on the USS Saratoga, an aircraft carrier with wooden decks. Funny, I have always remembed this fact about the USS Saratoga. Maybe it's because wooden decks seem like something from… Continue
