Thursday I order for Friday's truck. The app builds the list from what we actually bought over the last 8 weeks. There's no cushion. The supplier is 10 minutes away, and extra cases are just cash sitting on a shelf.

I used to find out how a week went at the end of the month. Now: last week, food was 23.3% and labor 19.5%. This week we're running 6% ahead of normal, and it's only Wednesday.

I built Keep the Dough for my own restaurant. Here's what it shows me now.

Picked up our new Model Y L. My wife loves it, and it's very roomy. Plenty of space for everyone. Thank you @Tesla and @elonmusk.

I could fly before I could drive. Discovery flight at 14. Soloed at 16. Commercial certificate at 18, and right out of high school I was flying right seat in turboprops and small jets. Worked the sales side too, and every so often flew out to repo one. Stories for another day.

Multiple wars. 5 presidents. 2 recessions. 1 pandemic. 24 years. Still stacking awards. Great job! @amorezionsville youtu.be/cQhaBASeymM?si=871h… via @YouTube

After the inventory system died quietly, I built a bot whose only job is watching the other bots. 26 checks, every 5 minutes. If something stops, it tells me. For some of them it restarts the thing itself. And a second, smaller check watches the watcher.

First test run of the review bot: 50 Google reviews pulled. 37 had never been answered. It drafted replies to the 30 good ones. The 7 low ones it held for me. That's the rule. It can say thank you by itself. An unhappy customer gets me.

I built an app to show me my real numbers, all the time. Today so far, against a normal Friday. Next week's supplier order, flagged when the last truck was heavy. On the App Store since August. It's called Keep the Dough. apps.apple.com/us/app/keep-t…

Building prep pars, I found our register rings up specialty pizzas two different ways. Count either way alone and you miss about a third of them. Every number I'd ever pulled on those pizzas was wrong. Nobody had done anything wrong. The menu was just built that way.
