I spend the rest of the afternoon going through my ideas with Delores and Buddy.
They have an old computer in the back room, so we get on and map out all the different big events and festivals coming up in this area over the next couple of months.
“See, there’s a lot of end-of-summer events coming up on the bigger beaches,” I say. “With your license, you should be able to contact them and see if you can get on as a vendor. If nothing else, you could take your food cart up there and set up somewhere in town unofficially.”
“You don’t think it’s going to be a big risk to spend all that money getting the menu together and gas for the trip and everything?”
“The key is to be smart about what you serve. Only stick to your simplest, best items,” I say. “A few things you can make ahead of time and then just heat up on demand. Things that don’t take too many expensive ingredients. The kinds of foods that will appeal to people outside enjoying a day on the beach.”
“Crab cake burgers,” Buddy says. “It’s one of Delores’ most popular summer dishes. We could freeze the patties ahead of time and just heat them up on the grill when we get there.”
I nod. “Exactly. If you can come up with three or four good items like that where you won’t be wasting any food if you don’t sell out, you won’t be in danger of losing any money,” I say. “And at these festivals, you can charge a premium. One of the problems I see from the menu you used at that spring break event is that you were really undercharging for everything. No one charges less than a dollar for a can of soda at these things. You could probably sell cold bottles of water for a dollar each and if you get bottles of Coke instead of cans, you could probably sell those for two dollars each.”
“Two dollars?” Delores asks. She presses her lips together and settles her hands on her hips. “We can get those wholesale for less than forty cents a bottle.”
“Right, so every one you sell at two dollars is major profit,” I say. “Which you desperately need right now.”
“Well, I don’t want to be screwing people just to get ahead,” she says.
I want to laugh at how innocent and perfect she is, but this is a serious matter. “Delores, you aren’t screwing people. Two dollars is a fair price at an outdoor event like this. Besides, you’re not trying to just get ahead. You’re trying to save your diner.”
Her face becomes serious and she nods. “Okay, what else?”
I go through the rest of the menu with them while Mason creates a calendar of all the upcoming events along the Alabama coast for the next two months.
“The more of these you can get to, the better,” I say. “And when you get a little bit of money, I want you to spend some of it on flyers you can hand out, telling people where to find this diner. Trust me, when they taste your food, they’re going to want to stop by and visit this place. And if you get ahead, maybe you can invest a little bit of money into having the floors cleaned up or putting in new tables and such.”
She nods, but I see fear in her eyes.
“Try to keep an eye out for any catering jobs. Parties, birthdays, that sort of thing.” I put my hand on hers and squeeze. “It’s going to be okay, Delores. I won’t let you lose this place.”
“Heaven must have brought you through those doors to me,” she says, squeezing my hand. “And here I thought you were just some snooty little tourist when I first met you, thinking you were turning your nose up at my tap water.”
I laugh. I don’t tell her that’s exactly what I was doing.
But who knew how much ten days could really change a person?
I’m kind of starting to like the person I’m becoming.

"Dan ketika Anda mendapatkan sedikit uang, saya ingin Anda untuk menghabiskan beberapa pada selebaran Anda dapat tangan keluar, memberitahu orang-orang di mana untuk menemukan restoran ini. Percayalah, ketika mereka rasa makanan Anda, mereka akan ingin untuk berhenti oleh dan berkunjung. Dan jika Anda mendapatkan ke depan, mungkin Anda dapat menginvestasikan sedikit uang menjadi memiliki lantai dibersihkan atas atau menempatkan tabel baru dan semacamnya. "Dia mengangguk, tapi aku melihat ketakutan di matanya."Cobalah untuk mengawasi keluar untuk pekerjaan apapun katering. Pesta, ulang tahun, hal semacam itu." Aku meletakkan tanganku pada miliknya dan meremas. "It's gonna be Oke, Delores. Aku tidak akan membiarkan Anda kehilangan tempat ini.""Surga harus telah membawa Anda melalui pintu-pintu tersebut kepada saya," katanya, meremas tanganku. "Dan di sini saya pikir Anda hanya beberapa Wisata sedikit snooty ketika saya pertama kali bertemu Anda, berpikir Anda sedang memutar hidung Anda di air keran saya."Aku tertawa. Aku tidak memberitahu kepadanya bahwa adalah persis apa yang saya lakukan.Tapi siapa yang tahu berapa banyak sepuluh hari bisa benar-benar mengubah seseorang?Saya jenis mulai seperti orang yang saya menjadi.
