I was searching through old posts to search for slimy stoneware problems, and I ran across the fascinating post by Dave ("DCB Took a Bath" Product Tips - 3/9/10 - don't know how to insert link) about doing a show at a commercial restaurant with the waitress doing very naughty things to his DCB!
Dave or others, it hadn't crossed my mind to approach a restaurant for a TPC cooking show.
I was just wondering how the show came about (inside contact? cold call?) and how well it was received. What type of restaurant? What time of day did you have your demo? Did you/would you do it again (assuming of course, that the waitstaff was chained up first ) How were the sales?
Having a food service background (way back when) I'm having a hard time imagining managers letting their staff stop working long enough for a demo and sales pitch? Did the mgrs have any idea (or even care) that you might be looking for recruits among his/her staff? (if you were, but obviously one person was eliminated that round :thumbdown
Thanks!
