Big Plans and Big Future

Whew! She said yes. I'm so happy. Yes...what a beautiful word.

What Next?

Business is going well, I'm planning on proposing to Sandy, the weather is warming and things are going well. But, what's next? We're going to start selling bags of flavored coffee and teas (the shipment arrived and it's delicious), also we pre-ordered the autobiographies from Pennelson Publishing, dad's busy with baking and we're budgeting for hiring a baker as he's getting older and will want to retire soon. We need to do some renovations to the building, make it a better flow for customers.

Business is Booming

I am glad we decided to add the bakery to CupaJava. It has been a hit. Residents love the new cakes and pastries. Sazo and I are going to add a selection of coffees and teas in addition to the books and magazines. I must contact Pennelson Publishing to get the latest copies of thier books. I hear the autobiographies of Josie Harlow and Carla Niven are going to be released soon.

Business as Usual

Finally we rehired the old employees-well, most of them. Silas is back working with us as a barista, or is it baristo for men? Matthew is back, not as a manager as before, but a cashier. We decided it would be best since Sazo and I both work at the shop and we can do sales and misc work around the store. I've been baking cakes and pies as fast as I can, but we still sell out of them rather quickly.

We're ordering custom uniforms for the staff, a new menu board for the shop and I'm even importing some new recipes to sell new baked goods in the store. I must admit, Sazo made a good move by expanding the coffee shop to sell baked goods and books as well. He is considering adding a small section to sell coffee makers, but I think we should focus on custom items.
