MUNGO EATS Latin America

Some days I wonder if I am cut out for this “business owner’s” job.  We are supposed to be opening next week, and although many things are going very well, there are still some significant problems, which may mean we delay opening.

The space is nearly finished.  We should be getting supplies like drugs and food this week, so in many ways, next week could be a go. There is still one significant problem though.  We had ordered some equipment from the States and we are still short on a few items from this order.  Specifically we have not received our surgery lights and a scrub sink.  Although I don’t NEED these things to function, it is possible that we will not pass our building inspection without these items.  They are on the drawings, therefore, must be in the space.  Maybe.

I spoke to the salesman that I purchased the lights and sink from to figure out when our equipment would be here, and he told me that he could not say for sure, that he could likely ship something out by next week.  Items form the States take about a week to get here, and they have been sitting in customs for a week, which would mean a 3 week delay in getting our lights and sink.  Unacceptable!

There is a chance that the building inspector will pass us, IF they are feeling charitable and we just explain why no sink and lights are present yet.  He/she is supposed to inspect the space today.  If he passes us, we will open the doors next week.  If not, we will scramble to find a local supplier for both the lights and sink and hopefully only be delayed a week. 

Keep your fingers crossed for us!!
