Okay....here we go!!

Hello Everyone! I'm not sure how many people follow blogs, but I thought it would be fun to write a bit about what's happening at Olives. I guess my goal is to write about the business side of things, as well as , the personal side. I'm not sure if that's interesting to anyone, or if it's more therapeutic for me to write about the craziness of owning a restaurant! For those of you who don't know about Olives, it's a family run business (see "about us" on our website). Since this blog is going to be more "story-like", I'd like to refer to everyone as characters. With that said, Olives consists of four main characters - John, my father, Executive Chef and "The Boss", Najwa, my mother and "Queen Bee", Meray, my sister, Interior Designer and "The Creative One". Then there's me, Karla, daughter, General Manager and "The Money Girl". There's a more in depth story about each of us, but you will get to know us better individually in later posts. We should probably start off slow! We have had Olives for 2 years now and its been an adventure of a lifetime. I hope you enjoy the ride with us!! Here we go......
