I've been meaning to write about this particular week for awhile now, but understandably it's take awhile for me to get around to it! I've been exhausted and it seems like it's taken two weeks to recover!

Between June 5 and June 10, Starry Nights served food for nearly 450 people, including 100 people at Google on Friday and a wedding for 160 guests on Saturday. We prepped so much food it felt like we were a big established catering company! I got a great vision of what Starry Nights will be like in a year or two, when we have jobs every day.

To get all this work done, I hired additional staff to help in the kitchen, as well as new waitstaff for the events. Things went smoothly from the clients' perspecitve, but I was pretty stressed out a several points as witnesses/employees/wife can attest. It's a good learning process for me as I try to manage people to my vision, and I think my biggest challenge is being able to articulate what's in my head and what needs to be done as fast as possible. The other lesson I'm trying to learn is to not change my mind or a person's assigned task too many times.

It was very rewarding at the end of this long week to think about all the food we served. Each client was happy with the result and we created many satisfied guests. I'm looking forward to repeat business from several of these jobs.
