I think you have said a mouthful.

I have never run a restaurant but keeping current with bills is really important. Now that the snowbird season is over so is the big money.

The legal responsibility of the rent payments still go on.

I just don't know why some restaurants housed in Country Club facilities survive and others don't. Some flourish, like Mallory, Cane Garden and Glenview.

But when you are serving the public, you have to give them what they want and here it appears that is decent food at cheaper prices.

I wonder why some do it better than others.

The few experiences that I had at Havana made me think that the folks in the kitchen didn't have much knowlege of just simple cooking and food prep. I don't know if there is a real problem with getting decent cooks or what here. I know the pay scale is low.

I think that it could be run much better than it has been run, but now what? How long do you think their lease is?
