9/25 Update

Greetings!

Well I'm another year older today. It is interesting that Red Room project is set to open so close to my personal milestone. We have a few touch ups and then the Fire and Health inspections to pass to open the doors. I don't foresee any problems.

The Candid Kitchen will switch gears in the coming weeks to document the behind the scenes action of this new restaurant. I hope ya'll enjoy seeing and reading about that.

I apologize for the poor quality of pictures. KP

The 10th of September

Landscaping is in! The building looks pretty nice. We're getting some static concerning a barrier fence on the roof because the air conditioning unit is situated within 10 feet of the side. Apparently that is holding up yet another inspection. You look all down the street and none of the businesses have such a feature. I guess you could say that we're breaking new ground in the area.

Time to rock!

Where we stand on 9/5

Still waiting for the POS system to be installed. The Walk-In IS operational now though. That is definitely good. The building is pretty much done. In the coming days we will clean and start to set the place up. Stay tuned..........

Update for 9/3

All the fixtures are being installed. The infrastructure is just about complete. The TVs have been installed and Direct TV is up and going. The Walkin Cooler should be finished in the next day or two. We also expect the POS(point.of.sale.) system to be wired in and installed. We should be able to finish the interior glaze work by this weekend. So next week, we hopefully, will start the operational things. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the final preparations go smoothly. It's close to time to clean and open the doors.

We're ready to get in the kitchen and start cooking so that we can give the Candid Kitchen a behind the scenes view of the Red Room Sports Cafe and Grill.

More updates soon. KP

8/27...the Big Install

Greetings and Salutations,

The last couple of days have seen a whirlwind of activity. I'd like to thank Mom and Jim for being so flexible during their visit this past weekend. I was a little disappointed that the RR was not open while you were here but it certainly didn't stop our fun. I sure did need to see you guys and it probably all worked out for the better anyway.

Yesterday I stopped by to check on the fellas and see if they needed anything. Low and behold there was kitchen there...not just any kitchen I might add but a mean and pristine one. There were also cosmetics that been installed and more being unloaded.

Today we run over to Sam's Club and pull the trigger on some technology and what not. I'm giddy.

Construction Update for 8/22

Things are starting to really move now. Look for yourself!

The kitchen is coming along. The vent system is in and has passed inspection. They're going to install the equipment early next week. The bar looks quite sharp. Nice flat black granite. The sign(s) speak for themselves.

Construction Update for 8/20

It's beginning to look a lot like a real business. Signs of progress are much more visible now. The place was buzzing with activity this afternoon. Proof that time is of essence and that delays are identified and resolved with haste.
