A fresh start

Week one is finished. I am learning the ropes at Grizzly Peak Brewing Company for the first month or two while they complete construction on XXXX. Grizzly is about 3 doors away from where I'll be, so its a great place to set up shop for interviews and hold planning meetings. Naturally they want me to learn the company's operations before opening, so I've been shadowing Grizzly's GM and helping where I can. Grizzly consists of two bars, three dining rooms, and a brewery where they hand craft their beer (very cool process - my favorite is the red). There is one huge difference from where I've been - this place is busy...always busy. A typical night brings in up to 300% more business than I was used to, and that's not even a weekend. I think the hotel taught me to accept lower levels of volume - a lesson I am quickly forgetting. I am tired - but excited.

XXXX's Projected Opening Date = April 17, 2006
