The Learning Curve

Well, Cafe Evoke Catering is finally official. Jenni and I took the trailer and cart down to the court house yesterday to have it inspected by the health inspector -- nice guy. We had to uncover everything and pull the cart out but it wasn't to bad. I like to think that it was good practice as I am still not sure of the best ways to do that. Really the only thing left to get done is finalizing the business insurance which is pretty much done. I also loaded the newest version of QuickBooks Pro for Mac last night and -- wow -- do I have alot to learn. I love the idea of being able to print customized invoices for our customer to make it easy for them so it will be worth the reading (have you seen how long that book is?). What I like about this version is that it is compatible with the new Tiger operating system that I have on this computer. It will update my iCal and keep everything organized -- once I know how to use it. Nothing else on the calendar yet except the Saturday event and the two on Sunday. I hope that we start getting calls and that the work Jenni did the other day in getting the fliers passed out really pays off. I think it will. I am also putting Cafe Evoke Catering on the websites that list all the caterers in town in hopes that people searching around will find us. There is alot to learn over the next several weeks -- how to record our finances best, how to use QuickBooks Pro, how to load/unload quickly from the trailer, etc. I hope the learning curve is short in all areas but I know that I will continue to learn things as I go forward with this. ...be bold Tagged: Cafe Evoke Catering, coffee, bozeman, montana, espresso, QuickBooks
