A Quick Update from John
I wanted to take a moment to share a quick update as I continue navigating the transition of the business.
At this time, I’m unable to commit to any new events beyond the end of October. I know this may be disappointing, and I truly appreciate your patience and understanding as I work through the changes.
Unfortunately, I also need to announce that October’s First Friday Takeout has been canceled. We have several events already booked, and with my current staffing levels, I simply cannot take on the additional workload of a pop-up without compromising the quality and service you’ve come to expect from us.
This was not an easy decision. I would much rather step back temporarily than put out a product that doesn’t meet my own standards or yours.
I’m working as hard as I can to move through this transition and build a sustainable path forward so that I can continue serving you, especially as we head into the holiday season.
Thank you for your patience, your support, and for hanging in there with me during this time.
I’ll be back.
— John
