I have been working for two days helping my brother getting a new fast food place started in Stackshead near Bacup, the place used to be a pub and has been empty since April last year, brother was told if he could get it trading this week he could avoid having planning permission as the licence for hot food didnt run out till today, so in a week we have transformed a shell of a disused building into an up and running take away shop. Myself and a freind have been printing menus shopping, learning how to operate a pizza oven while surrounded by electricians, plumbers carpet fitters, painters and decoraters, we opened at 6pm tonight and didnt have a customer till 9-55, 5 mins before we shut. We burned his pizza so we tried to cut the burned bits off and ended up with a pizza shaped like a 50p, put to many fries in at once so half were overcooked and the rest were raw, we only charged him a £1 and would have given him them for free, but by law had to sell something or we would not have been deemed to have traded, dont know if we will see that poor chap again, but wondered if anyone else had cocked up so badly on their first day at work?:)
