Updated Recommendations on Tirzo

March 21, 2010 by kayfrank.

I have received email and been asked to be more specific in my revised recommendations on the restaurant lease matter.

Here is today’s expanded update:
———-
My position is that the Board signed a lease with Tirzo’s shell company just a few months ago. He has been in default since the beginning quarter by failing to fully pay all obligations–on time.

This shows he may have falsely claimed to have the resources to operate for at least half a year without having to make a profit. There is no reason to allow him additional time to pay anything, nor should he be allowed to get behind at any time in the future–in the unlikely event he is allowed to continue.

Tirzo’s key problems are that he has:

(1) Shown he does not have access to the resources to operate the restaurant and catering operations without having to make a profit each month,

(2) Failed to deliver the quality of menus, food, and services required to attract the board’s business and the vast majority of SCA residents and clubs,

(3) Proven he knows virtually nothing about how to successfully market his products and services,

(4) Demonstrated he does not know how to hire experienced employees and/or train inexperienced individuals, and

(5) Demonstrated he does not know how to establish viable business plans, manage his cash flows, or attract investment capital.

I sincerely want a restaurant in Trumpets that consistently provides both quality table services and high quality catering services. But, it seems clear that the board knows Tirzo is not capable of doing the job. Fact: when given a choice of caterers to use for the opening event at Liberty Center, the board did not trust Tirzo.

The association should use professional business practices to obtain a successful operator of Trumpets for the benefit of the residents and clubs.
