Cheese Mo'z in trouble?


CatMan72

Recommended Posts

Went into Dan Morgan's Cheese Mo'z restaurant last night and noticed all the sports memorabilia (signed Panthers jerseys, Dan's helmet, etc) had been removed. When I asked the waitress why it was gone she said "Dan came in and took it, that's all I can tell you"...

Maybe it's not a big deal, but I'm concerned that this may be a sign that Cheese Mo'z is in some kind of financial trouble? Don't know if Dan still visits this board (he used to) but I hope he does and he can respond to this to let us know what's going on (if anything) and if there is any way the Panthers fan community can help?

If you haven't been to Cheese Mo'z yet, your missing out... it's the best pizza I've had in Charlotte or just about anywhere else.

I never been there. Next time I'm in town, I'll try and stop by --- hopefully it's around.

Restaurants are a tough business. I've debated about opening one myself.

You have food cost issues, marketing the place, etc. BUT the majority of problems, have to do with hiring good people --- you get good people working for you, employees who want to see you and your business succeed, it makes it a lost easier. If you don't get that, you get some kid making $7/hr washing dishes and stealing food from the freezer! UHH

Customer service is also huge! I use to work with this restaurant whose owner would remember everybody by their first name! People loved that!!! The food was "good" - nothing "great" but the customer service was superior.

As far as cheap marketing, I recommend Facebook, especially if you're near college towns. It's great to promote drink specials, etc. I actually run a website design business, among a few other ventures, in Richmond and deal with a number of restaurants in the city trying to gather VCU students and encourage a lot of use of social media like Facebook, MySpace, etc.

Letting them smoke weed around the dumpster goes along way.

when you owe creditors they basically can put a lien on anything in or on your business. maybe Dan is protecting his assetts.

That's what I was thinking... getting the memorabilia off the premisis means it can't be taken :(

I can tell you first hand that restaurants are not the 'cash cows' they are precieved to be. I help manage a regional chain and though we've seemed to weather this recession, it has taken an enourmous toll on the independents or "mom & pops" stores. Only the really large umbrella groups have been fortunate enough to prosper (though at tighter margins) through these past two years.

Restauranting should be a last resort for someone wanting to invest into a new business, at least until the gloomy economy is gone for good. Even in good times, new restaurants have a 96% failure rate. You have to have a solid, LASTING plan with plenty of capital in reserve for the lean times. Most folks have neither of the last two. They have an idea that will sell, and initially it does, but when that newness wears off to their customers, they are adrift without any resolution of how to continue.

At any rate, I wish Dan well and hope he can right the ship. I met him at the lone Huddle tailgate I went to last year. Very cool dude.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
