Operation Cafe 13th Jan

Last night by no coincidence, I was plonked in front of TV to watch something. A programme came on that was made for me personally via the universe. The reason I say this is that for a start, I don't own a TV, so for me to be in front of one watching it, is a rare as hen's teeth type of scenario. Secondly, I own a small cafe, like the one that was shown on TV, in a kind of reality TV show. I have owned mine for a similar length of time, (6 years) and have lost a lot of money through it as had he. I had the same types of problems as him in terms of what he was doing wrong, and how naive he was. I did the same type of mistakes as him. Anyway, it gave me great motivation which I had been greatly lacking. Today I was up there with a critical eye, looking at a money no object what would make it a successful cafe perspective. I came up with a list. Now my focus is to start doing the things I can do, and stay focused on my goal to attract the things I do not currently have. If I had to put a monetary value on what is needed to change, I would say I wouldn't get much change out of $100,000. This includes a new coffee machine, grinder, refridgerated food cabinet, Ice cream freezer, landscaping, menu board and internal and external signage, painting, new bakery chef, and new dinner chef, internet connectivity and computer terminals, new comfortable seating, and a feature wall, a new salamander and chopping boards. Heres the thing. I am actually technically broke. I have $55,000 in debt, and no cash. But, I believe I can do it. So watch this space, and see how long it takes me. I am picking that by the end of this year, this same cafe will be making a $10000 a week net profit. This post will be my cafe diary. 7th of March I have attracted a very large amount of help from a good friend Ryan,who has brought me his friend Tam who is a legend. They are giving me lots of help. Tam has brought in some of his friends and contacts, and is helping transform the cafe. I have manifested the capability of getting sky installed and Badminton screened in from singapore. We have a new menu on the way. I have had a big weekend which helped get me a bit of cashflow, and the season has started. Tam is working with me once a week. From next month he will be working with me every day I hope to get it set up. I have the capability of a new coffee machine coming in. I have some new decor coming. I have a new seating plan already in place. The floor in the kitchen is completely rotten and needs to be replaced. I am looking forward to the next few months. Money is still very very tight, but I have a feeling things are going to be very different very soon. It is the 24th of June, this is an update. Tam ended up charging me $500 a week. I nearly went broke. He is now gone. The cafe has had help from another person, Wayne and Richard who have helped transform it even more. I have new heaters in now. I still do not have a black board menu, but I do have lots of good feedback from customers. Also food is really good and new menu is functioning well. Still feel I will give it up at the end of the year though, and focus on academy possibly, otherwise give it over to the girls to run, if they want to.
