Thanks for the survey. Many other stores like mine closed so I have picked up more customers, but my biggest challenge is hiring. Gone through EDD but no help. Any suggestions on how to recruit new employees?

KABBAGE is not for new business owners. It’s for seasoned owners who need quick cash, rather than ask a friend or family members. One needs to use the money for the purpose intended not otherwise or else it becomes a difficult loan to repay.

The old ‘word of month ‘is still working, however social media presence should not be ignored. Maintain excellent customer service, don’t over extend yourself on certain issues that may cause harm to the business, be kind, treat all customers with respect, keep moral high among employees. Always ask customers how satisfied they are.
Stay consistent with your recipes, if customers like the ingredients you are using, they will tell others and continue to choose your restaurant.

All types of marketing works depending on the ones your customers are most frequent.
The simplest, oldest is by word of mouth, however, today it has taken a different form. Since people mostly meet on social media they can forward, tag, share information between each other.
The first position you need is to have a social media presence. Where you post your business, follow people and others will follow you.
There is also the option of hiring someone who can help with your marketing needs.

Hello,
The bank is the best through the small business administration because of lower rates. However, I have used alternative sources of funding and the funds have greatly expanded my inventory.
One such alternative funding source is On Deck, less than 24 hours funds are in your account. It’s a daily repayment (each day ACH payments are withdrawn from your account). Depending on your personal FICO score the interest can be high. If your personal credit score is 600, or better it makes a difference.
Make sure the funds are used for the reason you borrow the money. Another tip, use the funds for items that produce income, especially, the first time you borrow from them.
Example of other sources are credibile, Kabbage, Mint, Behalf. Good Luck!

At the end, of the transaction remind customers by letting them know how and where to write the review.
You the business owner can prepare a guided format for customers to follow. If time permits the customers can fill out this format in your business, and you the business owner can enter their review.

In my business, I appreciate customers who spend over $100 by offering them a drink of their choice. However, now instead of the free drinks I offer them free bags.
Few people will pass on the free drinks but most are very happy to receive it.
