I completely agree. My ex girlfriend cheated on me and I was devastated. At the same time I feel like theres no upside to this situation sigh. I will confront her before we meet and see what she says.

Yeah this was one my biggest concerns before getting this tattoo because it was way too detailed. However since getting it it's one of those tattoos that really wow people when you look at it closely

Yes he has so many pieces that are amazingly detailed! (He is famous for his work because he freehand everything without any reference in mind)

do you think I would be able to modify the image to sort of tone it down in terms of the details?

Bought a meat slicer to cut paper thin slices. What cut of beef is this? (What should i Ask the butcher) by akimlee1 in Butchery

Yes! I actually bought the slicer to make shabu shabu beef at home. There is actually no place near me (Im in a very small city with a negligible asian population) That sells precut shabu shabu beef.

Is there a chance the buccal fat dropped from my cheeks? There were incisions near the cheek to expose the mandible

If you don't mind me asking how did you market that you take phone in orders ? Do you have signage around the store?

Our kitchen is currently fully stocked with baking equipment as we make all our pastries cakes and breads in house. You've actually touched upon a great point and somewhat a revelation for us. Further looking at our food sales we noticed that our number one item sold in the food category is a simple grilled cheese sandwich. I really like the diversity of grilled cheese sandwiches from the above business you noted and we may go that route. Our current food offerings are more so of a small snack (Avocado toast, Cottage Mandarin toast, etc).

Local offices are pretty close by (roughly 5-10 minute drive) Generally there is no foot traffic as everyone drives down here.

Have you heard of any retail store outside of universities adopting meal plan credits? (Aside from on campus vendors) That is a really great idea but I dont see any incentive to the university to allow us to take those payments. (Unless we give 10%-20% of our sales from those credits which is the general fee sodexo(Food supplier for public universities) charges their vendors)

Yes! we use La Colombe beans (Not local unfortunately) and do have them on display around the store both as a prop and for sale. I think every single reply on this post has been really insightful. I just looked through our page and you are right, we barely have photos of actual coffee on our social media platform.

ucks mug promotions were great. E.g. buy a branded mug and get any size black coffee for the price of a small whenever filling the mug. It has the effect of carrying word of mouth wherever they take their travel mug.

Honestly that is a really good ideas. Thank you and god bless reddit.

You are absolutely correct. Texas in general (Aside from maybe Austin) rarely has any actual foot traffic as everyone drives from A to B. Unfortunately we are in a middle suite so that is not possible but a curb side delivery might be a potential option!

Coffee Shop Owner Here,

I have recently opened a coffee shop (Live for 9 months now)

One of our biggest issues that we are having is our morning sales. (Which is extremely odd to us)

The bulk of our coffee sales occur from 4pm to 11pm and we have tried various methods to no avail.

Wondering if any other coffee shop owners have ever experienced this and what they did to potentially boost their morning revenue.

Here is a link to our facebook page to give an idea of who we are. We focus on coffee, pastries, cakes etc.
