Gratitude is a daily ritual at this point. I have to give it up to the universe for the metaphorical sunshine following the cold, dark months we have endured as an industry. As we come out of this pandemic, we continue to push and improve. We have (finally) begun to add to our culinary team…and this is no small feat. The choices are more limited these days; sometimes folks don’t show up for the initial interview and sometimes the timing is not right, despite the pull they may feel towards our property. We have seen the departure of some negativity in the Seattle culinary world. And we have a blank canvas of opportunity ahead.
The fog is lifting. In the coming months, we will explore a Sunday service now and again; maybe quarterly, maybe monthly? We will keep the smaller floor plan for everyone’s comfort and stick to our schedule of Thursday-Saturday service. And we will just “be” with this new reality post-covid (with any luck.) We continue laying groundwork for the leaders to come. Those that take what works and build on it; because the best way to create lasting change is to focus and to pay it forward…
