What made you smile recently (2025)?

A little scary, but we have a lot of data to show that it will work and even increase with less work and stress. Finally. Putting this old hash slinger out to pasture. .

I’m glad you’re recognizing that’s it’s getting to be too much and making a change, instead of just putting your head down and trudging through. Good for you and good luck on the (slightly) new format!

I am pinned down behind the line 4-5 hours a day.

I've been watching the line cooks for the past week or so. super heroes, turning out the same dishes, 500 times a day, 7 days a week. There's no glory in doing that, however, from a personal point of view.
If you've got other sales items you can prepare which will bring you in the same, or more money, take less time, bring you some peace of mind and give you the opportunity to be more creative, then that, to me, is a no-brainer. Go for it. It's not scary; it's an opportunity.
Bite off more than you can chew, then chew like Hell.
