Was a very good restaurant and Dan Morgan is a very nice guy but the restaurant business is brutal

Friends and Family of Sweet T's Diner, it is with heavy heart and deep regret that we announce the closing of the Diner. The current environment coupled with the circumstances beyond our control has presented insurmountable challenges we did not anticipate. Please know that we fought as hard as we could to keep the restaurant open - we simply could not continue to personally overcome these challenges.

Thanks for all your enduring support during this venture....we truly value each and every one of you."

I would not suggest a hobo turn to you for advice let alone a former NFL player. With that said, it sucks that it's happening but you win some you loose some. I am sure Dan is smart enough to use this as a learning experience and that will only make Cheeze Mo's stronger.

rest biz is super tough. guys i grew up with family has always owned one.

I know one of the dude's who owns Cosmo's and they just had a write up in the Ob about them being around so long. 9 years is like 20 yrs in the rest biz nowadays.

There was an awesome restaurant in Dilworth called Planet Grill years ago. Man that place was awesome. And always packed. And yet, it didn't survive. I think the owners of restaurants tend to put too much of the profit up their noses and it bites them in the ass.

Before I joined the Navy back in 1986, I worked in a restaurant. My job for about a year was to order all the supplies and assist in maintaining the books. Having good food was not enough. We had a manager who was an excellent cook, and good at managing cooks, but a poor boss in other aspects. Just had no clue about the personnel side of the business. Our profit margin was about 1%. The owner eventually canned him, and the new manager was about to get the profit up to a healthy 8-10%.

Fwiw, I wouldn't go back into the food business unless it was a last resort.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
