❤️YOU WILL BE MISSED ❤️
Our Lacey location has been such a challenege from day one. My daughters dad passed away 3 days after I signed the lease and he was supposed to open this location with me and Manage the kitchen & train the (BOH) kitchen staff to help free up my time to train the (FOH), (BOH) and do office work (payroll) etc throughout the day. This would mean he would be there in the evenings to oversee that the (BOH) would run efficiently and everything would be consistant. I would be there in the early mornings through the beginning of the dinner hour so Managemnt would be there from open to close daily. Unfortunatley that didn't happen.
I went into this location only to find several building issues that needed to be addressed by fixing or replacing things to make it be functional. This became an issue as this caused me to open 3 months after my lease started which meant lost revenue and losing the first team I had hired in April 2023. I had to hire again before opening. With staffing issues in this day and time I had to start out being open part time. Finally the day after labor day we were fully staffed and opened full time. It has been a roller coaster since then with staff in the kitchen. It has proven difficult to make sure there is consistancy in the kitchen at night as I live nearly an hour away which makes it almost impossible to be there from open to close. I did try to fill Jay's shoes with other kitchen management at night but it didn’t work out. I have had a couple amazing people in the kitchen recently, but it came a little too late. I have put everything I have into this business wanting it to strive and succeed but unfortunatley I just need to find a location closer to my area to make it work the way I need it to and that would allow me to be there longer hours. I took a break from the kitchen around September as the 5 foot surgeries I have had made it nearly impossible to be on my feet for so many hours. I truly miss being in the kitchen and cooking. The doctor prescribed new shoes and now I am going to get back in the kitchen, unfortunatley it won't be at this location. I have some amazing loyal employees that will truly be missed.
I will now be catering food & have mobile bar business for all your party needs. Same great food as the food trailer and the restaurant had. I will be back to cooking again 😊. I will start the permitting process next week. You will soon be able to reserve a date in the very near future to serve at your location for a birthday, holiday, business party, neighboorhoods and events. Feel free to send messages, text or call 253-561-2128 to book as soon as I am up and running. If your date is further in the future and you want to book now to secure the date you can also do that. My liquor license will be for b**r, w**e and spirits (hard liquor). If you have any questions please feel free to message on facebook, email [email protected], text or call 253-561-2128.
Thank you so much to all of you for your continued support. Hopefully we cross paths again in the near future. Take care all ❤️
