While I have managers handling the daily operations, I still oversee everything remotely.

It’s a very good buffet and it normally costs $13-$15, so it’s a small discount to get some good food, learn, and network.

Pricing - If you cannot check your competitions price and adjust yours daily you may want pricing software (PriceLabs probably best for single listing owners/operators).
