Chapter 11 for El Cajon Brewing Company
Truly is a shame when businesses, especially in the restaurant, tavern, and hospitality induustries shy away from constructive advice and input -- or even a friendly introduction. So many operators feel they can do it all, know every facet of running a food or beverage business -- case in point here where they'd rather go out of business than accept some objective and constructive counsel or advice. Media is not alone here. As trained restaurant operations, brand, culinary and marketing experts, it's a challenge even getting in the door to see how things are going for new and, sometimes, even more difficult, operators who, while seeing continued slips in business, feel they can solve ANY problem. We all need good counsel, business mentors, some objective media reviews, etc. to make our businesses run better. Small businesses...don't try to be an expert at every facet of day to day operations - reach out - in the short and long term, it's the way business icons have succeeded, operating not in a bubble but taking any and all advice they can get to be the best they can be.
