Probably, ynur answer would be simply "good fond at gotd prices in a nice atmosphere". This is the aim of most restaurant owners and managers, and in Durham Region we are fortunate in having a numberef restaurants that f111 ail these requl- sites. Restaurants today face the same problems as most other retail out- lets. They must serve up a good product,and * to get the business it must be served up at a good price. Many restaurant owners have admitted to us in recent months that the biggest probemn they face is that of buying at a good price. They must keep a sharp eye open for the current prices of meat, vegetabes, fruits and other fond products. To buy right and beat out the competition is no mean chore. An od frienduf mine, sod his business a few years ago, and for by bas reasons..-of his own, Inntics decided to npen a sity of restaurant in a twn a fewmiles from nhere.

A Whitby boy, he has been involved in several business ven- tures, all of them suc- cessful up to the present time. Some months ago he opened a small restaurant in Peter- borough; a very lovely city, but in reality a depressed area accor- ding to unemployment figures. Along with several unexpected set- backs, this young businessman has decided that the restaurant business is not for him, and would like to sell it. We gather from those who have had bitter ex- periences in this busi- ness that it is one that is very unwise to venture into unless you have had some training and busi- ness experience. There are so many avenues that enter into the dining business. It in- volves among many other things, knowing how to buy right, how to prepare and how to cook the food. It is a very dangerous game for those without the know- how. - What this column is really all about is the fact that there are good and bad dining spots. The better ones are those that really care about their customers and put forth an honest effort to serve a dinner you will thoroughly en- PRINTING AND OFFICE SUPPLIES 218 Harwvood AveS, Ajax.
