It is not necessary to continue beating a dead horse.
Nothing is going to change.SAMIAM has been running a very successful business for many years. His customers are happy and his waitstaff is happy. He has explained his philosophy multiple times. And he has stated that he will also take a personal check. That’s too hard for you to do too? Maybe you’ve lost your chance to try his delicious food, because I’ve heard that he may be selling the restaurant. Maybe the new owners will raise their prices and then accept credit cards and then you can go. |

In a previous message the owner announced the place is for sale. He has also stated he is unable to find the help needed to continue the hours needed for dinner. What’s that do to the cash flow. Also previously stated his past success was helped by his lack of debt. The new owner will have debt from the purchase . What’s that do to ROI Also stated a potential inability to increase prices as that would have a negative impact on his gross. New owner see that comment and buys this ? New issue , cost of food has in many cases doubled , can’t afford to hire and costs have doubled and can’t increase prices. This might have been a VERY successful business in the past but it seems right now this is a business that needs a total overhaul and new business plan |

I truly fear small businesses will become a thing of the past. Maybe a one or two man trade business will continue but businesses with say 5-30 employees just won't be able to sustain.

Then again, I understand that a new tavern / eating establishment is about to open in Alton Bay.

Way! I can’t use my credit card!
With everything we all have to fret about these days, having a hissy fit over not being able to use a credit card takes the cake! You clearly have too much free time. Get a hobby…..or better still, buy the V.K. and run it the way YOU want.

The only restaurant around the lake worth going out of my way to get cash for is Pop’s Clam shell!

You don't tip in cash? Waitstaff? Marina gas attendants? People who go above and beyond making deliveries to your home? Maybe it is just me, but if I don't have cash in my pocket it feels like something is wrong. |

I went to the Village Kitchen for breakfast a few days ago and heard that they are now officially under new ownership.
I knew it was for sale, but found it surprising that it had actually transferred as the meal I had was as good as I've always had there. Hats off to the new owner(s) for keeping up with the quality, staying with the great prices, and providing the good service! The hours until 2 pm remain unchanged. I did notice that each table prominently displayed a new sign (in a clear plastic stand) that credit cards are not accepted for purchases. I have no idea if the new owner has also purchased the building or not. One of the issues of that particular building is the current shifting (or sinking) of the floor in the middle of the dining area (don't place marbles on the tables). You can bet that solving that building issue will be time consuming and expensive. Owning a Restaurant in todays environment is difficult and I want to wish the new owner much success! |
