The phone rings.

I answer.

Hi. I’m John. I’ve known George the owner for years.

(I interrupt to say that our owner has a Spanish name that begins with a G. In English his name would be pronounced with a J. In Spanish it’s pronounced with an H sound. You know who really knows him by how they pronounce his name).

He doesn’t know him.

He then explains that he’s looking for takeout.

Which we don’t do.

But before I can say this he explains that he’s actually looking for Uber Eats.

I laugh.

You can’t get a regular Uber at my restaurant, let alone Uber Eats.

I explain that we have neither takeout or Uber Eats.

He expresses his displeasure and hangs up.

Perhaps it’s an untapped revenue stream for us.
