What are you doing right now?

ya i hate the no more credit call. funny thing is before i make that call i call my vendors and competitors to let them know. so when the go "we'll ill just take my biz elsewhere" its all covered. i love it when the come back at the very last min after they tried everyone else and no one would sell to him. plus at that point i end up charging more because its some sorta rush.

well, in this economy, lots of vendors are scrambling and will gladly take on this 'whale' account no matter how mis-managed they are financially.

Typically what happens is an account goes on COD and will keep working with you as such until the company starts looking for some effort on back invoices to be paid. At that point they move onto other vendors and aren't able to get credit terms with them, but they can go COD and only have to worry about current bills. Then collections court call to collect the money due to us and the restaurant goes out of business. It's about a two year cycle if the operator decides to stay open that long. As you're aware many restaurant owners are entrepreneurs that make their real money elsewhere, so when the restaurant closes, they write it off as a capital gains loss. This latter reason is the very reason why it seems only chef owned establishments make it past five years.
