Sundays are often referred to as "freak day" in the industry for several reasons. One of those reasons is the fact that Sundays can be freakishly busy or dead in a restaurant. They're a total wild card. When we began opening on Sundays, we were generally very busy. Since Broadway Farmer's market, and probably a few others have opened, our Sundays in the shop have slowed down. This is a problem because in order to have both locations operating, we pay out about $200 in labor. If we only do $185 in sales at the shop, we're losing money. The farmer's Market has been consistently good, so it makes sense to focus our energy there.
Currently it seems the best thing for the business and the family would be to just work at the market and close the shop. The whole family spending the day doing what we love....being at a great Farmer's Market and selling great food from our surrounding farmers. This way we save our sanity, labor expenses, and utilities.
