    nice . have you noticed a covid spike in online sales? 

    my wife has 2 online shops and let's just say covid has been good to her . like on par with xmass and she sells shit no one needs 

    Yeah it's spiked some, but it's a really weird thing right now. Our in store sales are killing it....but it's only for the ones running at full song.

    so do you guys just rent out a commercial kitchen every so often for batches or have your product made and bottled? 

    I have a bud who has started and brought a few food/ beverage company's to market all with the end game plan to sell to the big boys . 

    No, we are at the point were we have a co-packer manufacture it. I could never keep up at this point. In the beginning we made it at the restaurant but that would have never worked as busy as this had gotten. We hit 10,000 bottles sold in 6 months last year. I'm over 5k already so far with 2/3 of my stores throttled back.

    ok I just ordered the 5 pack .

    looking at his vendors looks like he needs to invest in a experienced marketing/sales guy unless he has no interest in nation wide 

    I appreciate the order.  It'll go out tomorrow UPS.  As far as the vendors go, we wanted to make sure that this thing would grow and sell.  I didn't take any investors because if this was going to win or fail it was going to be because of me.  I do have one distribution outlet that will take us to a more regional level, but that all comes at a cost.  I don't know if this thing grows with us just plopping the product out there.....we usually have people vouching for the product or reviewing it and that is how we started.  In July of 2019 we had about 20 stores selling our product, I expect that number to top 100 this year.  Slow growth is good with me, I just need to make sure we grow this business the right way. :bc:

    UPMC says feared coronavirus surge ‘simply hasn’t happened,’ will resume elective surgeries

    in Current Events

    Posted

    Of 5,500 beds in the UPMC hospital system, only 2% are occupied by COVID-19 patients, as are 8% percent of intensive care beds, according to Yealy, who also said UPMC has strong supplies of protective equipment such as masks, shields and gowns.

    The 118 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 at UPMC hospitals are “not a significant increase from last week,” he said.

    Yealy further said the rate of positive coronavirus tests done through UPMC hospitals has dropped to 6.6 percent, down from 12 percent earlier in the pandemic, another sign the coronavirus threat is declining in areas served by UPMC.

    Moreover, UPMC has been hearing from patients who delayed surgeries related to things such as heart conditions or cancer, and is “not comfortable with the disruption in care this has caused for people who don’t have COVID-19,” he said.

    He said the surgeries that will be resumed might be called non-urgent because they are done on a scheduled rather than emergency basis, but are “essential” to people waiting for them.

    Yet Gov Wolf still has the entire fucking state locked down.......Gotta love living in PA.

    Sell the rubs as an addition to the award winning sauce.  The rub helps complete the flavor profile of the award winner. 

    Oh yeah for sure.  They rubs are made to stand on their own but they really shine with our sauces.  That's the line we are taking on marketing these, I'm thinking the sauces will have enough weight to get people to try the seasonings.  As of this morning we have about 1/3 or our first order pre-sold, and are closing in on 15,000 bottles of bbq since late last June.  I wish you could see the support we are generating here locally....its crazy.  We will survive this and should come out on the other side swinging.  I'm honestly looking forward to it.

    If your rubs are half as good as your sauces you will kill it this summer  :yahoo:

    They are strong, but the issue with them is they aren't pedigreed like the sauces were.  I could walk in anywhere and say that Comp won the 2018 Jack.....can never take that away.  The rubs are different in that everyone can blend a few spices, salt, and sugar together and whammo....."taste this incredible, one of a kind rub!!!" I'm skeptical just because I thought there was no way the BBQ would take off.. and luckily I was wrong.  We will see, they are a great product, but they have some stiff competition.
