[thechat] Bar snacks

[Isaac Forman]

The word 'wedges' is an excuse to charge $x for a snack. Your bar is next
door to your restaurant, so capitalise on having the kitchen nearby.

Do wedges with sour cream/sweet chilli, or crispy potato skins. And charge
for a bowl.

Don't put bowls of complimentary nuts or anything like that on the bar --
that's cheap.


Would running two venues concurrently with little/no experience not run you
too thin?
