Business was awful today. 500 people at the arena next door, and I only had 20 sales all day.
At least I was able to sell 1 whole brisket and 3 tracks of ribs. Sadly, I have 1 brisket and 7 tracks of ribs left. Oh, and 3 dozen sausages.
This town complains there's nowhere to eat on the weekend, but when they have a place to go, no one shows up…

Sorry to hear that brother. Keep grinding 🫡
That’s just how it goes sometimes, especially at the beginning. Plus the month of January and early February are slow for pretty much everyone. Just stay consistent, focus on building a customer base and keep overhead as low as possible. If you feel like you won’t sell out, give people heavy portions or samples of things they didn’t order and let them know you tossed in extra. People love that and word of mouth will help you get your name out into the community. Keep at it
That’s exactly why I ended up closing my place, people would always be talking about how great it is and how they would stop by on weekends, then maybe a few people would show up.
