THE PATIO IS WIDE OPEN

Creating new dishes that customers keep coming back for requires a few things.

- Cool ingredients - (That is where SCOOP comes in)
- Able to take a risk - (Opening a restaurant says it all)
- Marketing that catches the eye -(US Foods has it all)
- Staff that is excited or given incentive to SELL!! 

The weather for the weekend is getting warmer almost everywhere in the country. 

A balmy 45 in the Northeast. 

So, we can look forward to some patio planning activity.
