  • Finance Your Restaurant Business.
    When it comes to financing your restaurant business, there are several ways you can go.

    Banks and commercial lenders will ask that you put a portion of your own money into your restaurant business, before they will think about lending to you.

    One gentleman wrote me an email calling my concerns ridiculous. He asked me what right I had to expect cash for my gift card and what I felt should be the refund limit on the card. He then informed me that there are far more grievous problems with gift cards such as expiration dates and balance reduction over time so my complaint was extremely foolish. My verbatim reply is below:
  • Business process -Re-engineering (BPR).
    Business process re-engineering (BPR) sounds esoteric at best, and maybe a little pretentious. Wouldn’t it be simpler to say business process change?

    Most people understand what a business process is but when you combine it with re-engineering, it suddenly sounds vague.
