Tassa vahan kevennykseksi menestyvan Ravintoloitsijan edellytykset, joita olen itse aina yrittanyt seurata ja ihan hyvin on mennyt
:D
A Restauranteur?s got to be everything to everyoneA RESTAURANTEUR must be a diplomat, a democrat, an autocrat, an acrobat and a doormat.
He must have the facilities to entertain Prime Ministers, princes of industry, pickpockets, gamblers, bookmakers, pirates, poopsies and prudes.
He must be on both sides of the ?political fence? and be able to jump the fence.
He should be, or have been a footballer, golfer, bowler, tennis player, cricketer, dart player, sailor, motor racer, shark catcher and a linqualist as well as having a good knowledge of any other sport involving dice, cards, horse racing and billiards.
This is also most useful, as he has sometimes to settle arguments and squabbles.
He must be a qualified boxer, wrestler, weightlifter, peacemaker and sprinter.
He must always look immaculate, when drinking with the ladies and gentlemen mentioned in the first paragraph, as well as bankers, swankers, commercial travellers and company representatives. Even though he has just made peace between any of the two, four, six or more of the aforementioned patrons.
To be successful he must keep the bar full, the house full, the store room full, the wine cellar full, the customers full and not get full himself.
He must have staff who are clean, honest, quick, quick thinkers, non drinkers, mathematicians, technicians and at all times be on the bosses? side, the customers? side and stay on the outside of the bar.
To sum up? he must be outside, inside, offside, glorified, sanctified, crucified, stupified, cross-eyed ? and if he?s not the strong silent type, there?s always suicide.
