progress report

Today is Sunday July 19th. I have been open now for 19 days. As of day 18, yesterday, I am pleased to report that I have sold 114 burgers (of all kinds: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, bacon cheese burgers. You name it; I've got it!) Also in those 18 days, I have sold 118 espresso/coffee drinks. Here is the tally thus far:

Cappuccino 2
Mocha 43
Latte 14
Breve mocha 10
Breve latte 1
Soy mocha 2
Soy latte 2
Hot Chocolate 14
Americano 6
Coffee 24

Obviously, as you can tell, mochas are the drink of choice around here. Everyone seems to like a little bit of coffee with their hot chocolate :)

This has all shocked me quite a bit. When I started planning this adventure a year ago, I really had no idea what to expect. I didn't know who was going to be in town; I had no idea how many fishermen where going to be in and out of town. Like I said, I just had no idea what to expect - it was all a guessing game: how much food to order; how many cups and plates to order; what equipment did I need.

I was sort of waiting for the worst. When I got down here and finally opened, I had 54 burgers. I thought that would last me quite a while - my mom and I were thinking at one point that I might only sell 100 all summer. Well, we were sure wrong - I hit 100 on day 16!

I will be down here for 43 more days -maybe more if I decide to stay a little ways into September, but by then, I may be getting a little sick of PA. Who knows?

So... if it keeps up like it has been, I will be selling 272 more burgers while I'm down here. I don't know about coffee drinks, though. They are sort of hit and miss. Some days I sell a bunch and some days I don't sell any. The golf tourney is in August, though, so there will be a lot of drinks sold then, I'm sure!!! It really depends on who shows up for the tournament. I hope a lot of people will come into town - at least for the second day!

The Tourney is August 19th and 20th... come one; come all!

Making some coffee...
