    The first two months were insane. Now I'm at 6 days a week, 11 hours a day (11am - 10pm). Probably 4-5 hours administrative and the rest in the kitchen yelling at Bangladeshi guys.

    Been here since February, opened April 15 and going great. Contract ends April 14 and we'll renegotiate on the Monday after Superbowl - so I'll have to decide whether I want to do this long-term here. Business is great, partner is awesome, getting laid at will - but it's really far from NY - haven't been back since I got here.
    He'd be totally screwed if you left or he could find a replacement? The recipes are yours?

            I wouldn't leave the guy in a lurch - he's been too good to me. He paid for my knowledge so a lot of my time is producing SOPs for everything. I already have all the recipes in powerpoint slides showing step-by-steps with photos and measurements.

            The hard part is finding someone who cares. Last Saturday night, I told one of the pizza guys that a pie was undercooked. He said it was only one pie out of the hundred we made that night. I told him that's the only pie that mattered to the customer who paid for it and ate it with his family. It's hard to get guys to become invested with passion.

            But we're doing it. Just rented a house where we are housing key staff free-of-charge. We help them get visas to stay legally. Trying to create and buy loyalty. It's the only way, because the goal from the beginning was multiple units and you can't be in more than one place at a time, so you have to rely on people who just want a paycheck. Like most businesses, really. That's why it's hard to expand and maintain quality and vision - not everyone sees it like you.

            Certainly has been a challenge so far. . .

                Yeah it's a huge job - why people opt for franchises because they've already worked out a system.

                I recently read a great article about California Pizza Kitchen's operation - incredible how detailed every facet is.

                Good luck!

                                    Main reason I'm overworked as I'm an anal mofo so hard to find people at that level that give a shit. Good Luck

                                            Thanks for the nice wishes everyone. Just broke our all time sales record tonight and we still have 2 hours to go!

                                            BTW - they don't have "Arugula" in Malaysia. It's called Rocket Salad! I believe that's a British affectation.

                                                    Do you deliver to Tokyo? I'll take three of the cheeseburger and fries pizzas. Start a franchise here. We could use a decent pizza place.

                                                            So Malaysia is the most popular immigration country? Even in top countries you do not necessary have majority immigrant staff
