if he cooks enough for them to make money and not have waste that is prob a good business model
I would say his loss of alchohol sales in the evening if he runs out before then would not be a great business model.

But those lines at 11:00 AM man. That's pretty important stuff.

i saw him mention in an instagram post that he is trying to walk before he runs. Still gauging how much product he needs

He could always cook too much and sell any leftovers to any of the other bbq places for their use

cant see that asshat swallowing his pride and selling his leftover #realdealQ to another restaurant
If youre gonna open a restaurant, bbq or not, figure out a way to sell fresh food for prolonged periods. any regular restaurant would be crucified for running out of food (big rob) or for selling "leftovers" (blue oak).

those 8 people .. with BOB, Frey's and LA Smokehouse I am good to go with BBQ when I need it.Posted on 12/22/16 at 8:41 pm to GynoSandberg
Big Mikes is fresh daily. They do run out of food on occasion, but not very often
The extra sales from those addition 10 frickING HOURS far outweighs throwing out a little food at the end of the night

What Big Mike and Chef Rob are doing is something the French do. Especially the bakers. They wake up at 2-3 AM, start working, bust arse until 11-12, then close shop and prep for the next day. When they're out, they're out. They aren't motivated by profit. They make a good living, and make a badass product. Americans don't really follow that model.

It's going to take more than a "good living" to pay off that building and investment.
I'm sure his business partners will not expect a return on investment.

Something tells me we aren't talking apples to apples here with that comparison.

Well, haha
Most don't go all in the way this place has. This is almost surreal.
I don't want him to fail. But shite. This is like going to the roulette wheel with whatever it cost to build all those pits. Even without an awesome product.

A baker in Nice can get away with doing that because his family has owned the building for 100s of years.
I think this place was setup to make money.
Can't judge too much fromantic Day 1, don't know what to make of it yet.

I agree. I'm wondering if he really ran out at 12:30 today though.

Throw a few things on for a soft opening type thing. Build hype. Build his ego.
All of these things.
I think they ran out. But it seems they set themselves up to run out early.

Except the location, we will see.

If this happens for a few days, it could all be a marketing ploy. "We have run out of food for X days, we just can't seem to cook enough for our amazing fans, but we promise we will get it right soon!" That would make the place "hot" and generate buzz. Then they can ramp up production later.

Day two of greatness. Headed to the line shortly.
