something normal seemed strange

yesterday while working the pick up window after a customer had picked up his food i stuck out my hand and said thanks. he shook my hand and said that was the first time he had ever been through a drive thru restaurant and had a person shake his hand and say thank you. we'll that's the way we do it at the italian gardens. personal service, restaurant quality food in a clean fast moving environment. we think we have found the magic alchemy for restaurant success. now we need to spread it throughout the country. ciao, john dicapo

New Loyalty Card

we are introducing anew loyalty card today. it will enable any customer to get a free pasta meal or sandwich with the purchase of 10. i have heard and read that loyalty cards are a great promotional item for businesses and we hope this is true. we are always trying to keep our good customers happy and attract new customers. i have several meeting this week that could change the direction of igtogo. we hope we can make a deal and start to move forward. we're sitting on top of a gold mine and we need to keep digging and grinding it out. it's a beautiful thing!. ciao, john david dicapo

another good week

we're starting to have good weeks back to back. that's a very encouraging sign.
we know we have a good product and a good name.
we have to make sure we keep our employees motivated to do the very best job they can do.
it's important that we grow and stay green.
we need to keep improving and continue to add more customers to our base.
we're doing the right thing we just need to keep getting better.

another good weekend

we are becoming consistently busy friday-sunday and that's great.
we have steady customers who now have igtogo etched in their weekly food schedule and that was one of our goals.
serve high quality italian food in a quick serve setting, providing value to the consumer with a smile and a thank you ciao baby.
it's working and now we need to expand.

it's getting close

we're getting real close to making a deal. we really need to grow. we have the best new food concept to come along in years and we need to expand it. it still boggles my mind on what business we could do in jo/co with the right location.
our barry road location is doing good. we have great managers and our staff is top shelf. i'm a lucky guy and i thank god for it.
maybe this will be the week we make a deal and break out. if not this week than next.
we will not quit until we have accomplished our goals.
ciao,
