Norm;
Leasing the Yacht Club restauraunt to an experienced operator may be the most sensible solution. As you point out, if they operate other restaurants they may be able to train, transfer and be much more effective with personnel, even the manager if the Yacht Club closes for any period of time in the off season. The Board would need to allow the leesee to set his own hours and length of season. They should be able to make suggestions, but the final decision should be with the operator. Depending on the operator they may actually be albe to draw more outside business and be profitable more than just June, July and August. The Red Roost near White Haven , The Old Mill in Delmar and Suicide Bridge Restaurant near Secretary certainly draw patrons from miles and miles away. In my opinion, an outside lesee to the Golf & Country Club is the anser as well. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Bob Thompson's efforts increased business but increased expenses at a rate where we have lost even more money at the Yacht Club. Al, George Coleburn in a recent letter to the Editor stated "Simple arithmetic shows that OPA looses 12 1/2 cents for every $1.00 that come into the Yacht Club". If Bob Thompson persists in increasing business we'll go bankrupt in no time. All kidding aside ,leaning on the Faw Casson report once again, it points out a number of inherent difficulties managing a "low volume" operation like our food services. Logic tells me that if we had a lessee,(outside management) a Restaurant Entrepreneur that had other facilities and experience in the area they could take advantage of "the economics of scale". Food costs would be lower, labor would be more stable and labor could be allotted among multiple facilities. It may reopen a Pandor's Box, but regardless of the outcome of the referendum I beleive that option should be revisited. Norm |
