So my husband and I moved back to my hometown about a year and a half ago with our four kids. We purchased a pizzeria. that was failing. We basically purchased assets because no processes, employees, we had to change everything. And my question is, do we continue or do we close? We are currently, we have cut all costs, you know, cost of goods are down, all of that.

Great question. It was failing because it was, the previous owner was using expired products. Um, the culture of the employees was toxic. Uh, so we were able to turn all that. We turned the culture and we're slowly going upward, but we made mistakes in the beginning that are basically have us by the throat. Um, my husband and I are not taking a wage. So we're basically on off tips.

We almost lost our house last year. Um, we can't pay our taxes, but, um, I don't know what to do because we don't feel like this is forever. I'm ready to move on, to be honest, but I don't know what the wise decision would be. And the one person that I wanted wisdom from was you in this arena. It's been rough.

Yeah, it's no fun.

Yeah, it's no fun.

Yeah, it's no fun.

We haven't been... To be honest, we've been just slowly going backwards.

No, no, no. We're not in the profit arena. I think I guess my statement about moving forward is, you know, we're losing less and less. So I guess we are not. We are month to month, yeah.

We're not, no. And we took advice from a business owner we trusted. We've never been in business. We were debt-free when we moved here. And we didn't know. You know, what you don't know, you don't know.

All sorts. We have a lot. Personal credit cards, we have $37,000. We were slapped with an $8,000 penalty from L&I from an employee that we inherited. We didn't know. We had to fire our accountant. So, you know, that gets all put on me. And we owe like $15,000 to the DOR. And then we purchased the business by an owner contract. So we owe him about $115,000.
