Recommended Vendors

Hey y'all! Just wanted to shoot you a list of the vendor/merchant partners I'm working with to start my business. They offer great products and services and will compensate you for referring new customers to them. So read, click, and copy and paste into your own blog!

If you're starting a restaurant tell Hava over at Parsley App that Jase Grimm said you should get a free trial to his food costing/kitchen inventory management software.  Every good restaurant is built on a solid food costing percentage calculations; pick a food cost percentage goal for your restaurant based on your industry/menu items and stick to it. 

For a great digital display company contract Brandi Booth at Raydiant, it’s a great company that allows you to change your menu displays second by second, display social media feeds, create to do lists or communicate with your team. You could even video conference with your entire staff from home. They run specials for free hardware or monthly fees so check back often for the best price.
