Working at the Restaurant :: Management Business

Leonardo’s Restaurant is located on 7575 Merriman Rd. in Romulus, Michigan. This restaurant is right next to Detroit Metro-Airport, so that tends to bring in a lot of business. Leonardo’s started out as a carry-out restaurant and gradually moved into a sit-down restaurant. After three years of being in front of the complex on 7575 Merriman,, the owner built a new restaurant in the back of the complex. The new restaurant is 8,000 square feet with a bar area and a banquet room, which was not at the old building. Leonardo’s Restaurant has been up and running now for seventeen years and depends mostly on the travelers for its business. Leonardo’s is a family owned business which two brothers share the ownership together. At Leonardo’s it is imperative that every employee does their job and contributes so that the business can run smoothly. The name Romulus comes from the story in Greek mythology of twins â€Å"Romulus and Remus, sons of war, Mars.† The story tells that these boys were being cast out by their uncle being left to die, only to be found and cared by a â€Å"she-wolf† until humans discovered the babies and raised them as their own. The name was chosen due to the population of wolves in this area during the 1800s. Romulus has a population of 23,616, which was recorded in 1996, its city color is green and white, and it is the home of Detroit Metro-Airport. Romulus is home to a wide variety of businesses and industry due to its transportation assets, a strong economy and skilled labor force. When I opened the cherry wood double doors of Leonardo’s Restaurant, I saw to my right the bar area with high chairs outlining the bar. Behind the bar is a huge mirror that stretches across the whole back of the bar. Aliening the mirror is an abundance amount of alcohol lining up across the mirror. To the right of the wall of alcohol is a cappuccino and espresso maker. The bar itself has an evergreen counter top with cherry wood lining across it. When moving into the bar area, I seen that there were booths and tables both an evergreen color with the cherry wood trimming outlining the booths and tables.
