6 Business Activities
2, Raising Capital- We put about $30,000 into renovating a foreclosed building and managed to turn it into a shop. We have received about $20,000 from several investors, with the largest commitment from one elderly Jim McDonald, affectionately called "Ol' MacDaddy"
3. Employees & Training - We have seven employees, including ourselves, of which we have trained. We have a total of three cooks, two waiters, one cashier, and one dish washer.
4. Buying Goods & Services- We get our coffee and our bread from the local grocery store. We get fresh vegetables and meat from local farmers. However, when it is not the farming season, we get our vegetables and meat from a Wal-Mart in the nearest city/town that has one.
5. Marketing Goods & Services - We advertise in newspapers, on a web site, and on the radio.
6. Maintaining Business Records - We use Microsoft Access to keep track of inventory, customers, and costs and profits.
