Cosmo's Food for Thought

     I changed up the tag line from the show 'The Pawn Stars' to fit the Cafe.  We really don't know when someone is going to stop in, when, & what they will order!  It can make for some interesting times in this business.  You have to always be prepared for anything & have everything prepped up to boot!  It kind of reminds me of my Army days when our line was "Hurry Up & Wait!      Thanks to all who have come through our doors.  We are so grateful for your choosing to do business with us.  I hope we have served you well.  My promise is to always be ready & eager to prepare a good meal @ a reasonable cost for you & yours.  As always thanks for the prayers & for supporting this small business....   

    Well it's almost time for the 'Fair'.  This is the 12 days that brings fear to all of us other businesses that are not @ the Fair.  It can be a very slow time for food sales, etc. Than the hammer falls again because shopping for school cloths & supplies also begins in earnest!  We have to be realistic as money can only go so far when it's being pulled in so many directions.  Hopefully though we will hold our own & actually gain a little from last year.     We do have a catered event coming up in mid September for the Army.  Lunch bags for 50 on Saturday & a hot lunch for 50 on Sunday.  Very thankful for the opportunity to serve those who serve.  On October 5 we are catering a bagged lunch for between 80 - 100 for a Mennonite conference.     As always thanks for allowing me to share & for all your prayers & support.....

        We now have Pepsi fountain soft drinks available!  This seems to be a more convienient way to dispense these drinks & it saves me from making trips bringing in soda each week.  It is also an added bonus for our customers as is we will now offer one free refill for those dinning in on our 16 oz. size.  We still offer many of our items to become a 'meal deal'  & now it's with our new larger drink & french fries all for only an additional $1.99!  I am really beginning to see an upswing in sales & a lot of new 'faces'.  We also will be offering an insentive to new 'folks' by giving them a coupon good for a free beverage or 2 chocolate chip cookies after only a $5.00 purchase.  If we can hold our own during August & September (always some tough sales months in this business), this could become our breakout year!  Of course only time will tell & if we keep providing good food @ good prices with great service, it will happen.
