John Smith is the key strength of the business. John has
been in the restaurant business most of his life and is well
known in the community. His previous ventures have proven
highly successful and generated profits in their first year
of operations only to show continuous success in subsequent
years.
John is literally a "hands-on" owner. He can often
be found in the kitchen cooking if his chef is off and if
his chef is there, he's the co-chef. John understands his
loyal staff and leaves them to do what they do best. John
ensures that he greets and banters with everyone. Anyone new
to his establishment is introduced and quickly put at ease.
John accommodates special requests on a health or diet basis
and is always willing to make something special and off the
menu for his best clients. It's telling when even his suppliers
join him for lunch, coffee or a drink before going on to their
next clients.
John has a loyal following. His waiters, chefs, and suppliers
have been with him since he opened Country Style Diner fifteen
years ago. When he opened Club 1, it was with one of his waiters
and an old friend. The same suppliers, builders, and designers
from Country Style Diner were used in Club 1 and with the
new restaurant, Delight.
John is a savvy entrepreneur. He is in tune with his financials
and knows where he makes money in his business and what margins
he needs. At Country Style Diner, he knew his sandwich bar
made the most money, so any expansion was first made there.
Because of Joe's loyalty to suppliers, he is able to negotiate
considerable discounts and is able to use credit from his
suppliers.
John's restaurants get inspected often, as all restaurants
in The City are, and e consistently receives stellar ratings.
He runs an extremely clean and organized operation.

Sam Jones's impact during this initial stage has been just
as critical in a different capacity. Sam's network and experience
in the industrial renovations industry has been a major component
thus far. Due to Sam's relations with other tradespeople,
management has been able to fully finance all renovations
(approximately $0.00) to date at a fraction of their normal
cost (approximately $0.00)
Sam has been contracting tradespeople and overseeing the
renovations to Delight fulltime since June 2000 and is committed
to managing the floor full time once Delight opens.
