Food for thoughts

Trading at Fed Square has been full of trial and error, the occasional cut finger and Pete’s favourite job of building shelves without the right tools. Throw together electricity issues, new sinks and pushing a half tonne of cart up an incline every morning has lead to a journey of many learnings. Learning to use our new equipment, learning to cook the food, and learning to smile through many ups and downs that come with the start up off any new enterprise— such as an outdoor food cart. We often wake in the mornings praying to the rain gods to ward off any dark cloud the may loom atop Fed Square.

At the end of trading recently we reached a small but very important milestone. Our trainees arrived and completed their first of many shifts down at the food carts.  The truth is that it was a hard shift for some of them to come to work. It was an exciting change for others. The truth is, hospitality isn’t an easy industry. It has its slow time and its busy hours.

But in the end the sizzle off the grill smells good, the trainees all smiled, and Pete left with a blue bandaid.
