I’ve been doing this long enough to know the food is the easy part. Getting found online is where most of us are flying blind.

Owner.com’s free Website Grader scores your whole online presence, not just the website, and it takes about a minute to see where you actually stand.

If you own a restaurant, the link in my bio will take you straight to it.

Working on new menu items both places. This is ricotta cavatelli, chuck tomatoes, olive oil and chicken sausage. I know I said no Italian at Beef and Bird but come on chicken sausage I might have to do a dish or two! Thoughts?
