Whistle while we work...

April 28th , 2010

It's been a week and half since we got here in Dallas. After 4 days of classroom training we finally hit the store for some real training. We were slammed from day one. Man can the people of Dallas eat chicken wings.

I think I've been dreaming of cooking chicken. It might get worse as we are going to work the late shift this weekend.

I can't wait for next weeks mid - break when I can see my lovely wife and kids again. Enjoy the photos of Manny cooking and prepping :)

Bumpy, Bumpy, Bumpy...

To say the trip started on the wrong foot would be an understatement.

I made a mistake with my seat assignment and found myself in the middle seat sitting next to a HUGE smelly dude. For someone that is 6'4" this is not a position thats favorable. After 5 minutes of thinking I'm going to be using a barf bag I hear, " I think that's my seat, but do you want to stay there?". Now the noble thing would have been to stay there, but I was already cramping up and nasseua was setting in so I said "No, I'll take my seat". I'll have to be nice to rude people this week to make it up.

Flight from Miami to Dallas was like driving a shopping cart off-road. Had worse expieriences, but it just about the entire ride. Pilot climbed to 38,000 feet and then dropped to 26,000 feet trying to find a a smooth ride that was not there.

One nice thing, we got upgraded on the car, a Ford Flex. Very nice!

Grease Pit and A/C in Place

April 18th, 2010

Finally the infamous grease pit is in place. This one issue just about took Frank's remaining hair off his head. You'll recall we had to adjust the placement from the back to front (underneath the parking) because of the way plumbing was laid out.

Also, all the A/C is in place including duct work. Finally actually looking like a restaurant.

I'll be leaving to Dallas for training today with our GM Manny. Really tough leaving the kids and Kelly, but I just have to look at the finish line and get it done.

Construction Advances

April 7th , 2010

Met with our GM and Frank and I were astonished at the progress. All gas and plumbing lines were complete and the finishing touches on the drywall were going into place. All phone lines were wired and the concrete was filled in where the dug the grease pit trench.

Man the place looks incredible even without the finshes. A/C and tiled kitchen floors are next.

Passed Inspection!

Well this week we passed our plumbimg inspection and rough. Corporate sent us appointment meeting for early May to review punch out items?

Manny, our GM, is attending a class on Food Safety management today. This is a requirement before running a retail food chain. I have my class next week!

Inspectors coming today

March 29, 2010

Just spoke to Jim and he's confirmed that we have our first inspection today. Should be smooth, but let's not get too cocky.

There is so much behind the scene work that has to be done thats its almost mind boggling. Frank been busting me up to finalize the Merchant accounts and I have corporate asking me to begin thinking about menu pricing. This is just a few items and I have to keep my clients in our other business' happy. It's Monday and I need a drink....

New PM...things keep moving

March 25th, 2010

Our new PM, Jim, has things rolling along. Plumbing trenches have been cut and the counter has been framed. Check out the pics...

Personal Matters

March 23rd, 2010

Another detour struck our project as Joel, project manager, had a family matter to deal with. Our construction company has assured us that they have someone ready to take his place. In the meantime, a personal friend of Joel will help keep the subs in-line so we don't lose any time.

Joel thank you for your hard work this past week and hopefully your family can get through this time period.

Trip downtown

March 22nd, 2010

Frank, Joel, and myself took a trip down to the processing office of the city. The suggested that the changes could be done as a revision (thank goodness), which is infinitely easier than going through the whole approval again. Yay City Officials!

Frame me a picture

So after hitting our slight snag, Joel decided to put the cart before the horse and continue framing and electrical before finishing the plumbing. You can see from these photos that alot was done in just 8 hours of work.

Snag, Snag, Snag...

March 18th, 2010

Well only three days into construction and we've hit our first snag. Seems the plumbing line (pictured) in the back of the store was trenched too shallow. Its fine for toilets but not for grease trap, underground tanks needed to collect fats and grease during food preperation and cooking. The grease trap needs gravity or a pump to push the grease to the pit. Obviously, a pump means more expense. So Joel, our project manager, suggested we dig a trench and connect to the forward line. This means the pit has to go in the front and not the rear as intended.

New drawings need to be commisioned and sent to the city for approval. Ho hum...

1st Day of Construction

March 15 th, 2010

We met with the project manager and handed over the keys. He will be meeting with the sub-contractors to finalize a schedule. First up is all the framing...

Started Construction in Hialeah Florida

On March 15, 2010 we finally started construction on our franchise dream of a Wingstop in HIaleah, FL. Its been two years since we began our journey. I wanted to begin this blog once two things occured, the SBA funded our project and we broke ground on the location. At least in my mind this is a point where its almost a certainty.

I'll be doing a few flashbacks to fill you in on our journey. Hopefully I can recall a few items clearly.
