Re: Biz down?
Mon, December 29, 2008 - 11:08 PMI work in a fairly large hotel. We host banquets, have a restaurant and bar and then of course room service. It's definitely slower than it should be but we're not hurting too bad .. yet..

Fri, January 30, 2009 - 7:55 PMMine is the same. Then again, I no longer work in the corporate world. I have been a personal/private chef for the past 12 years and I've been booked to the point of not advertising at all for the past year. All word of mouth. I have had to cut down on some of the fund-raisers for local non-profits that I used to be so much a part of, but otherwise my bottom line is still at roughly the same ratio as it was before 'the recession'.

Fri, February 6, 2009 - 10:14 AMPhilip, I can see how picking up new clients may have taken a serious hit in the past few months. I'm just in a good, stable place with my long term clients (and everyday I hope and *pray* that they'll be able to continue to afford my services). So far so good. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed though.
