Fast update

Hi! Today we added to our staff, Amber started as our new bartender. Which means I now have more time to do other things. My to-do list is beyond reason. Two top priorities are one credit cards and two real plates! Believe me, I am right there with you on those things. We are still very slow here but doing better. We need a few better days, to sell a few more dinners a day so that we can hire a busser. Please tell your friends to come stop by and get lunch. We need it. Contrary to popular belief Tommy’s is not profitable. We are counting on a great summer to push us ahead. We need it. On top of a slow SF covid recovery, almost everything here broke. Side note, if you ever want to get into the restaurant business and you are putting together your plan, triple what you think you will pay for repairs and maintenance. We are currently getting the neon sign outside repaired, I am expecting somewhere around $7000 by the time we are done fixing it. And, I just received an estimate to fix our dining room fan and our A/C, $14,000. I think we will be a little warm this summer at Tommy's. All that after I just paid $8000 on plumbing issues. At the moment we do not expect to raise prices. Food cost has stayed steady, although the prices of meat generally go up in the summer. The truth is my goal is to bring the prices down, specifically sandwiches and sides. Did you know that the best deals right now are on the dinners, specifically the slim dinner plate, you get the most food per dollar on that one. I have worked hard to keep those prices down. We have a very small staff and we run a very tight ship. We haven’t raised most prices for three years, which is unusual. Turkey prices are still crazy high, they have not budged since last year’s bird-flu issues. Well, I got to get back at it. Thanks for your support and continued patronage.
