    I spent 5 years in Ellensburg for school/work. Jim's restaurants were always my favorite and I got to know him a little in my later years. It's different when a national corporation owns a food establishment, it doesn't feel as local and community based. Jim's always felt local and my friends and I have life long memories in his restaurants.

    29:21 I worked for several places that didn’t know their numbers and didn’t even do inventory by counting… they had the underpaid cashiers eyeballing the shelves and would guess at if they needed more or not of everything. It was painful!!!! I created an inventory system and I know I saved them tons of money but they were awful to me on a personal level. They went out of business not long after I left (several places I worked for actually) and I’ve observed other local small businesses open and close in a few months because they were not prepared with a budget or a business plan. It’s wild.

    He didn’t make that kind of money dude stop with these, Thats just his gross revenue. He didnt make a fortune or make 35k a week.
    35k x 52 x 20 = 36 million GROSS revenue.
    Restaurant industry 5% - 10% profit margins so he would be lucky to make 100k-180 a year. And that’s him and his wife combined. So 50k-80k a year each.
    Not a fortune.

      Thankfully we bought all of the realestate we occupied and most of the time our margins are better than 10%. My suggestion is to find the information that will help you grow your business. In my video I talk about how a good budget really helped our profitability and focusing on our prime cost. Those two things will help any restaurant make more $$$
