The hard part is finding someone who cares. Last Saturday night, I told one of the pizza guys that a pie was undercooked. He said it was only one pie out of the hundred we made that night. I told him that's the only pie that mattered to the customer who paid for it and ate it with his family. It's hard to get guys to become invested with passion.

But we're doing it. Just rented a house where we are housing key staff free-of-charge. We help them get visas to stay legally. Trying to create and buy loyalty. It's the only way, because the goal from the beginning was multiple units and you can't be in more than one place at a time, so you have to rely on people who just want a paycheck. Like most businesses, really. That's why it's hard to expand and maintain quality and vision - not everyone sees it like you.

Certainly has been a challenge so far. . .
The "don't-give-a-fuck" attitude is because the service industry is notorious for over working and under paying. It's really hard to give a shit when you're not being compensated for the hard work you do.
