Another day, more leftover donuts.
I made the least amount of donuts I've ever made for a Sunday, and I still couldn't get rid of them.
The only days I ever sell out are my wholesale days when I'm only capable of making enough to fill my orders and having 3 or less dozen donuts left to sell from my trailer.
I'm finding myself asking the question of "why am I still doing this?" More and more lately.
Sure, I constantly hear people telling me how amazing my donuts and burritos are, but the numbers definitely don't show that at all. Most weeks I cover just above what my expenses are. I work 12 hours days when I'm open just to cover expenses.
I'm not looking for pity, and I'm definitely not looking for anyone to support me just because they feel bad for me.
I'm just not sure how much longer I'm willing to sit here busting my ass for the bare minimum, and not even that most of the time.
I love and appreciate all of my regulars more than they will ever know. I love the support that I do get willingly from my customers. I for sure don't take that for granted at all.
My wholesale accounts are really the only thing keeping me afloat, the only thing that's making me any money. But, that still isn't enough to cover everything with anything extra to save or go do anything.
I just needed to rant I guess.
My new sign will be going up this week, hopefully. And maybe that will bring customers in. I'm kind of out of ideas.
This is what's left from today. Text or dm if wanted. If not I will try to get them to Blackhawk Pizza later when I wake up or something.
