      He’s willing to cheap out on the ingredients to save food costs without realising that the people that are interested in eating at the breakfast bar on a regular basis want that level of quality. Those options get cut back or swapped out for lesser grade options and they won’t stick around.

    I love it when the they say we started at 0 and our sales are up 50%. When you start at zero, It's pretty east to get 50% increase. Know a 50% year one to two increase would be worth talking about. I have watched many of these, and Shark Tank and Dragons Australia. These folks just don't like franchises.

      She's the host/narrator. The US version has one, you just don't see him in front of the camera. The UK version has one that used to be seen on camera but not anymore. He's in the back. These shows need narration, that's why they hire them.
