Still in the same line with the last post...
We went for lunch at the new mall in town today, trying out a new restaurant, serving a dish from our past.
While waiting for my turn to order and pay for the food (it was done fast food style, with customers paying upfront before sitting at the table and wait for the food), I can't help noticing the covered computer/POS on the cashier's desk.
The cashier, as a matter of fact, was busily writing down the orders of the customer in front of me.
Twice.
Once on the official receipt (carbon copy), and another time on another piece of paper, presumably to be passed to the kitchen.
Moral of the story?
It would have been great if the business had waited until everything is up and running before opening its doors to its customers.
At the same time, deadlines are not known to respect Murphy's law, and ideal conditions rarely happen in real life.
Had the business waited for THE perfect day when EVERYTHING is in place, perhaps we wouldn't have been able to have our lunch there today.
The business could have done better, yet had it not opened, it wouldn't have made any money either.
This message is mainly for myself. The best time to start your business, or to really start working on it, whatever it is, is NOW!
