Marcus Tullius Cicero. The Ides of March on Mar 15, 44 B.C. In this final episode of season 2, our man Marcus drives down to Latta, SC to help a mom & pop ribs joint expand. Background. Shuler's Bar- B- Que. The name comes from Norton's father. The establishment was opened in 1. It's typically packed with patrons on the three days per week that it's open. There's also a catering department which gets mentioned only in passing. Financials. The business grosses almost one million currently with profits of about 1. K. There's $8. 6K in debt left to pay off on the 3. In other words, Shuler's is doing pretty good. Norton estimates his food costs to be around 4. The other four days are used to prep for the open days. The price of admission for adults is just $1. Marcus thinks needs to be bumped up to $1. This creates long lines. Norton also insists on cash only and no credit cards because the credit card companies take 1. There are also far too few tables considering the demand. People. Please don't say . I could get Shuler to do Facebook. They and their crew hustle to feed the teeming masses that do up to 1. All is well on the people front except for Ewell the brother- in- law. He's married to Lynn's sister who Lynn wants to move back to Latta. There's been some talk of Ewell working for Shuler's in some never defined PR or marketing capacity. The problem is that no one can figure out what Ewell brings to the table to justify participation. Every time he's asked what he does, he makes vague references to doing . When you have long lines outside your door every day the last thing you need to worry about is Facebook. The answer is a shocking $2. This is from a small business approaching $1 million in sales. This is when Marcus decides enough is enough and uses the same tactic that worked so well in the Pete's Candies episode for getting rid of deadwood. He offers Ewell the manager's job. Ewell is then gone within a few days to no one's surprise. He later sends an email advising Norton and Lynn that he can't any do anymore . Pro bono, in case you don't know, is a Latin term for . He should have just said, . No need for a long- winded explanation. The Offer. Marcus offers $5. K to build a general store and increase the seating space. Norton counter offers with 3. Marcus responds with statement that his first offer is always his final offer. Just look at the previous episode where he backed off from 5. Marcus has backed off other times as well in response to objections and counteroffers. This time Marcus gets his way. The Growth Strategy. Marcus rejects the franchising growth option and informs everyone that he will only build out the existing location. This includes: -Increasing the seating by having an outside deck added to the restaurant.- Installing a second cash register and accepting credit cards.- Increasing the price to $1. Finding another supplier who offers a substantially lower price on the ribs.- Adding a gigantic flag post out front to fly a flag so big that it can be seen from outer space.- Opening the restaurant a few more days per week once all the process bugs are worked out.- Developing a mass market version of Lynn's biscuits. Business Lessons. Marcus won't be pleased to read this but I have to say it. This wasn't a good deal for either party. First off, there's nothing in the deal that Norton and Lynn could not have done themselves if only they had tried. It probably would have taken spending $1. K with a good consultant to hear the same ideas. They should have just said . If the deal had been for 2. I would have supported it. Second, for Marcus it's a business with a limited upside potential since he has ruled out opening more locations. Frankly the idea of selling the biscuits through grocery chains is pretty weak. While those biscuits served piping hot with a restaurant meal may make your mouth water, buying an altered mass market version in a package and eating it at home doesn't excite me. Don't get me wrong. I think this is a great business for the family but I just don't see it as having the type of upside that a guy like Marcus needs to justify the investment and risk. I hope Shuler's continues to be a success as they seem like very nice people.
