Day 2 of refurbishing

During day 2 we acquired our Business Licenses from the state by registering online. ($70) We saved a lot of time as we didn't have to go to city, county, and state government offices. Also with setting up our business license online, we didn't have to go through the trouble of obtaining a ficticious name. ** All these steps, as far as business licenses, obtaining a fictitious name, tax id #'s, health and fire inspections difer from state to state **

On top of business licenses, the initial steps were taken to receive our 'Occupancy License'. An appointment was set with Paul Butcher for Fire, Health and Safety inspections.

We received our Liability Insurance( @ $890 / yr paid $445 down). The initial steps taken to receive this insurance were taken during the negotiations of property.

Workers Compensation Insurance was linked to us after registering for our Business License. (I've yet to fill out the forms, though this is still a day two procedure.... will fill in here when nec.)

Today the kitchen was straightened up and prepped for a massive cleaning. I purchased the wrong cleaning materials and should have just went with : Metal scrub sponges, DE greaser, squigy and then soap.

We had an appointment to get our compressor replaced as the one existing is water cooled. This water cooled compressor is extremely to expensive as it constantly needs the circulation of fresh water. That water is simply being wasted, and tacted onto your water bill. This appointment was cancelled, and we were informed that our new AIR compressor would be installed on "Whenever it got here"

We're not exactly starting this restaurant at the most opportune time, and are just grateful we received the keys 12 days before the starting billing period. Out of those 12 days, 5 days with other working human beings will be salvged. Amazing how time stops because some Jewish Preacher was born some 2,000 years ago.


** Continually throughout the entire refurbishing and opening process we're reevaulating menu, prices, marketing, suppliers... and I'm sure a bunch of other things that I just can't get my mind around right now.:)
