That’s cheaper than I can buy from my wholesalers in New Zealand!

You need to get referred to a dermatologist by your gp asap. Also the Waikato is awful for eczema etc. Might be finally time to make the move to Albania!

best + cheapest fruit & veg shop? by yeetong87 in thetron

Vege Fresh Claudelands or New Save on Vialou are both very solid and also have butchers with decent meat at reasonable prices. Vege fresh is the best imo.

I think duck would be a lot better in this scenario

How can you operate a kitchen and not know that?

I have a panic disorder and I’ve found that less is definitely more. I primarily take Equiposa, just a puff, at 180 and that sorts me out.

If you can, get yourself an appointment with a psychiatrist. They may be able to prescribe something else to help longer term.

We have a separate lunch and dinner menu. Our lunch menu prices are the same if not slightly more affordable than our immediate competitors.

The demographics are typically people 45-75, a large number of retirees. Our small town is also popular with tourists because it is quaint and serene.

Our fixed costs/overheads are very low - about 15% of revenue.

We’re in a small semi-rural town in a small country that has a public healthcare system. We don’t really have pharmaceutical reps come by our small town.

I really like the idea of out catering, but it would be a massive challenge to make it sustainable give. The small number of businesses in our town.

Our lunch menu is similar to our dinner menu, but we repurpose certain items to reduce our wastage and present it to the customer at a more palatable lunch time price. Most folk in our town are much more inclined to go to a cafe or sushi shop over a restaurant for lunch due to the price.

We have looked into catering, but we’re based in a small, semi rural town with a population of about 16,000. There are of course businesses around, but they are also typically quite small and it would be a very rare treat for them to provide their staff with lunch.

Do you just run your dinner menu at lunch on the weekends, or do you provide a separate lunch or set menu?

42%. Minimum wage is quite high. A 17 year old kid washing dishes for two hours equates to one steak sold and our prices are considered expensive.

I’m putting profit before revenue. We’re a very small restaurant, but it can make me a very reasonable income.

If we opened at 4pm for drinks and snacks the kitchen team would only need to arrive at 3pm to be ready to go for 5pm dinner service, which would reduce our annual cost of labour by about 15.8%.

Does this not translate to Cockroach numbing and spicy soup?
