Celebrating Catering

Cafe operators everywhere will empathise with The Real Food Cafe's owner Sarah Heward's poetic piece celebrating ten years of business.  It has been printed on staff uniforms and sums up the sheer hard work and hands-on involvement of every successful caterer.  Well done Sarah and the Real Food Cafe in Tyndrum, north of Loch Lomond. @therealfoodcafe

A Scroll sounds so much better

Doughnuts may sound a little too much of an unhealthy treat so I was tempted by a 'Scroll' from Crosstown Doughnuts - a clever way to sell a doughnut!

Chee

 Chee is how you pronounce QI which will be what all your customers are demanding from you in the near future.  Wireless Charging at their table.  The latest phones (such as the Samsung 6) have the charging system incorporated but for the rest of us there is a device that allows you to plug in and recharge your phone.
 Chee - Get with it!
