Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm always asking questions. The reason why is because the
fund begins when you start researching for answers, such as
with today's endless rising in food costs? Can restaurants truly survive? Plus,
when it comes to back to school, who's more nervous
the student, parents or teachers? My name is Arrow. I'm

(00:20):
a daily writer, a silent wolf. That means I stand
on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I happen to call it the daily Mess,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my
morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we
as people tend to throw things to the side because
we think we're going to deal with it later on.
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

(00:41):
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily Mess. Can restaurants survive today's high food costs?
I mean, come on, in every circle we stand, the
subject of high food costs is an automatic. If we're
feeling the pinch at home, what's going on inside the

(01:03):
business of restaurants? Well, research shows that those preparing are
outside the home meals can survive this rush of food costs,
but it's going to require a big climb. Many are
adapting to shrinking margins and shifting consumer behaviors. Small independent
restaurants are feeling the pinch. One owner recently wrote on Reddit,

(01:24):
I'm in a spot where there is little right sizing
left to do. Maybe my dreams of the industry are dead.
By the way, right sizing is a strategic process of
adjusting your company's size and structure the resources need to
match your needs and goals. Survival at restaurants requires menu
engineering time to eliminate the underperformers. Also, big today bundle

(01:48):
offerings combos that actually create a value for the consumer.
Diversifying revenue means think outside the restaurant catering, meal kits,
and more. Be active with your creativity. Hey, coming up next,
When it comes to back to school, who's more nervous
the kids, the parents, or the teachers? Hey, thanks for

(02:14):
coming back to the daily mess. When it comes to
back to school, who's more nervous, parents, teachers or the students.
We're going to break this down into three parts. Students
often feel nervous about socially fitting in adjusting to a
new grade can add stress to the challenges. The fear
of the unknown is always present now when it comes
to parents, anxiety quickly sets in when they start thinking

(02:37):
about the child and how they're going to adjust to
their new classes, and more importantly, how they're going to
adjust to their own life and style. It is going
to change. It's very real when it comes to how
parents deal with what's going on in their kids' life.
Most home decision makers retreat to being quiet, which makes
them tougher to explore. Now, let's focus on the tea.

(03:00):
Tea so much pressure. Imagine meeting a brand new class
of multiple personalities now tossing your needs to balance the curriculum. Oh,
and having to deal with parents good or bad ones,
those that are saying too much, and those that will
not even meet for a parent teacher conference. All three
groups run into several different levels of being nervous and

(03:23):
filled with anxiety. Parents and teachers, though, experience a deeper,
longer lasting effect. It goes the entire school year. I'm Meryl,
and that's the daily mass
