Buddy's Smokin' Bar-B-Que restaurant opened in 2014 and struggled to build a customer base for lunch, dinner, or event catering options. When the owners were planning the restaurant, they had projected they would sell 60 to 80 lunches daily with an average lunch price of $8.00 They believed that dinner business would be higher and they would also benefit from their approved liquor license, which could generate between 100 and 120 plates per day at $12 per customer. However, the actual daily lunch and dinner totals were much less and the owners were barely breaking even and wondered if they should close the business.

enjoy fresh, smoked bar-b-que meats. As a result of their marketing efforts, the restaurant is selling out of its product almost daily and has built a take-away business as well.
