Cheap Bar Stools for that Second Wind
My brother Robert was one of those who got affected by the recent economic crisis. He was made redundant by his company but was given a small amount before he joined the ranks of the unemployed. As his sister and good friend, I advised him not to wallow in depression and look at the brighter side of things: he was now free to be his own boss.
Before choosing a career in Information Technology, Robert had shown interest in becoming a chef. He was the type who watched cooking shows all the time and knew the names of all the chefs in Food Network. He would take me and our dad to fine dining restaurants which had good reviews from New York Times and such.
Using the little money he had, he enrolled in short term culinary courses. Before long, he was whipping up dishes plated so beautifully I sometimes did not want to touch them. After a long family meeting, we all decided to pitch in and open a small cafe and deli. We wanted a small family place where customers can enjoy their morning coffee, watch the news and enjoy a good hearty breakfast.
Opening a food establishment did not come cheap. And while we were able to source out kitchen equipment from our homes, we still needed a lot of things for the cafe. Fortunately we were able to source out cheap bar stools online. They were really inexpensive and of very good quality. They were brand new too and we chose different styles and materials to give Robert’s cafe a more relaxed and modern look.
He now serves about 50 to 60 customers every morning, and those bar stools are always occupied well until closing time.
