The E-Entrepreneur

Like with most other companies that are starting out, our company revenue hasn’t reached the millions and the founders aren’t getting paid much. As a result, founders need to find a way to sustain themselves and often times it is through bootstrapping.

I am a horrible bad cook and for convenience, I eat out a lot. As you can imagine, for someone who eats 70% of her meals out, food is one of the biggest expenses. But it is also where costs could be reduced. I have never been a fan of the ‘extra’ junk that come into the mail, but recently I have learned to appreciate them. The coupons books for pizza , McDonald’s and from other fast-food chains now have found a way on my dining table than in the recycling bin. I have come to appreciate the $1.50 Mama burger (although I prefer the Teen Burger with some bacon, but I’m going to be accepting for now).

However, the most memorable meals so far have been at Bon’s, which is a restaurant 5-minute drive from our office.

Yup that’s right: $2.95 all-day breakfast and that’s including tax too! It comes with eggs, sausage / bacon, fried potato slices and toast. Bottom line: it is tasty, filling and cheap. Obviously at this price you can’t expect a nice view out the windows or world-class service. In fact the restaurant is somewhat sketchy, with writings all over the walls and seats that are ripped up. Want water? Gotta grab it yourself at the front. Nonetheless, we enjoy going there because that place has such an unique character and these $2.95 meals will be missed after the move to our new office location.
