1️⃣ Hated waking up at 5 AM every single day. I am NOT a morning person 😮💨 💤
2️⃣ I Locked the door and hid behind the counter during a massive rush on Juneteenth for about 25 minutes because my anxiety was though the roof then I opened back up 🥲
3️⃣ I rarely ate my own restaurant’s food. I was tired of seeing and cooking that menu. To the point where I STOPPED liking chicken 🍗
4️⃣ I cried in my car multiple times right before it was time to open up the restaurant and that’s why I was sometimes late unlocking the doors 🥲
5️⃣ Let customers make up “secret menu” items on the fly. That was YALLS restaurant clearly, not mines. I loved yall down 🫶🏾
6️⃣ Loved hosting events there way more than running the restaurant. The event space aspect was dope. We hosted some of the most beautiful events 🎉
7️⃣ One time I told my staff to tell someone I knew, when they asked was I there, that I wasn’t in the back 🤣🤣🤣
The restaurant industry ain’t NO joke. Comment if you can relate or are looking to get into this business ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
