[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Upscale comfort small plate menu for sharing.

It's not too late to pull out of this. I think I'm chickening out![/quote]

Well don't chicken out, if it's what you love, but for heaven's sake, please find a concept that hasn't been done to DEATH in the last few years. If I'm offered one more "small plate", I may scream. It was fun a couple times in 2004, but it's really, really tired now.

If you DO want to be talked out of it still, imagine your employees. Imagine how you're going to be washing dishes at 11pm because neither dishwasher showed up. Imagine getting asked for an advance on pay every damned week, by the same three employees. Imagine the hiring and the firing that is inevitable in the low-skill labor market.

And now imagine your customers! Not the friendly regulars, not the 5-star yelp reviews... but the ones who shoot cell phone video of your employees misbehaving. The ones who insist they know more about your menu and your ingredients than you do. The ones who get drunk and mistreat your staff.

Still in? ok, good. How's that new concept coming?  [/quote]
