Aloha from Vienna!
After weeks of struggling with the last deliveries, handycraft-men and other stuff we decided to open last Thuesday morning.
Monday evening we had a film crew in the shop for a 30 sec spot which will be seen in Nov and Dec on all Austrian Airlines flights in the news and advertising section.... I have a preview but right now no chance to upload it on our homepage....show you later...
Anyway - wanted to close at 7pm after the filmcrew left, suddenly customers came in and ordered coffee - well, why not, we have everything important in stock.
At the end we had about 20 customers, maybe more (?) at the first evening.
Thuesday a bit more, and yestareday Wednsday even more!
Including some Japanese who bought lots of expensive chocolates, and 3 packages of coffee after they had several coffees and cakes.
(Australian Skyburry, Bolivien organic, Ethiopien Bonga Forest)
So the first two days where nice, knowing that we have not sign yet outside the door
I am glad that Luke is willing to make over-hours at the beginning. As I have about 10 people to train, this week is hard for me. I should order things, do some office work, make phonecalls for issing items, but I also need the time for showing everybody what and how he has to do it....
As the shop is very big I have lost 3 kg already in the last days (which is a good thing - no complaints here) but my hands and feet feel numb and the next thing I will do is buying one of this stupid foot-massage thingies
I'll send pictures soon, gotta run, sorry....
See you
Joey
