PREPPING FOR A GIG

So I am going to try really hard not to turn this into a venting session  lol, but I feel i need to say these things.

Its tough sometimes to get potential customers to understand that its really not as simple as us going to our meat supplier and saying " Hi mr butcher please can you prepare 50 beef patties 30 chicken patties" and thats us ready to come to an event.

We have spent a lot of time stuffing our faces in the name of RD, testing out different combinations of things to get our patties tasting just right for all of you.  In a way I suppose we should blame all of you lovers of all things burger boys, we are fat because of you :-)

Its hard enough to even decide how many of each type of burger to prep and I do not know how many times we have come with less boers because at a previous event only two people wanted boers then the next event EVERYONE IS ASKING FOR BOERS!!! hahahaha but its great cause it means you love a little of everything we do and you must have a fix of a little bit of everything once in a while.  We have not reached the levels we want with our boers as yet due to financial constraints but we have been speaking with a supplier and in the next month you will be getting a taste of sausages made by one of our business partners.  You can imagine how excited we are for this to happen.


Prepping is a mammoth task and aunty feels the brunt of it when she has to clean up after a prepping session.  Add the fact that our burger baby will want to "help" mommy make tomato jam or help daddy make bbq sauce.  Not to mention when a customer requests pineapple salsa or mushroom sauce, GUY WE MAKE IT ALL FROM SCRATCH.  Now because we want everything to be fresh we wake up at unGodly hours to make the caramalised onion, tomato jam, or our awesome whiskey bbq sauce and coffee rub and any other special condiments that customers would have asked for.

THERE IS SO MUCH WORK BEING DONE TO DELIVER.  I think this is the same with any small business that makes its own products.  Lets respect each others grind and pay what the proprieter believes their products is worth.  When you have a taste and you feel it is not value for money by all means stop buying but if you love it pay whats due.  As businesses grow they begin to enjoy reduced costs due to volumes that are being pushed so be sure to watch this space and eat and grow with us.

The ride may be bumpy but you def wont want to miss out.
