A little bit of an introduction

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

I have dedicated my life to my business and the people that are part of it. I started working at a pizza place when I was 16 and quickly fell in love with the little aspects of what goes into each transaction. I call these little things "the games within the game." I am now 37 years old and own 4 pizza shops. I have seen trends and the workforce change over the years. However, there has always been a constant, I'm in the people business. If you ask any of my employees they would tell you that their job is "...to make sure our customers leave the store in a better mood than when they came in..." it just so happens that they do it with pizza.

This blog is going to about my business. It's not the surface stuff that every business owner whats to say about their business. It will be the REAL struggles that plague every business. These struggles range from day to day operations to tough decisions that can alter the lives of every employee.

There will also be some celebration of the good things!

Welcome to steemit! I've been here for just over a month and am thoroughly enjoying it. Congratulations on your hard work...going from 16 and working in a restaurant to owning 4 is a huge achievement! I taught high school for years then took a leave to run a restaurant with my husband. Like you, we believed in a happy experience and that only happened when we gave consistent customer service and food quality. It's a tough job for sure!! There's a lot of people to help here; it's a real community if you get involved. Let me know if you need help ever...so many people helped me and it was a godsend! Cheers!

You are correct, the food business is tough!! I'm sure I'll pick your brain!!

Anytime buddy! :)

Hi Ray - Welcome. Was sitting down now, getting ready for a good read. Now have something to look forward to. Any chance you're in the Los Angeles area? Would love great pizza and to meet people that actually care about others like I do. Sounds like your a great person. Truly looking forward to your honest and real posts!

I live in Decatur, IL. I've spent some time in SoCal, I love it! My wife's dad lives in San Diego and we just got back from there. Thanks for the kind words!!!!
