Today was opening day of Curiosity Doughnuts and I fried all day long. I have the short shift because I get Amaya off to school and am back at home to meet the bus, so I’m there from 9:30-3:30, give or take. I arrived and started frying immediately. I didn’t stop until it was almost three. By then we were down to apple cider debris and that was gone in about twenty minutes. We were that busy. Also, we can only fry one dozen at a time, so that means I was playing catch up all day long. People can buy doughnuts way faster than I can fry them. This is mostly a good thing. Customers were coming in from the parking lot and telling us that people leaving the store told them they had to come and get doughnuts. That was pretty cool. Aside from the all too often heard “$3 doughnuts!!! Are you serious?” we had a lot of positive feedback. People bought one doughnut to taste and then came back for more. Do we have a lot of work to do? Yes. Are we tired? Yes. Alex is still there prepping for tomorrow. Totally looking for some good staff, but until we can find them, we’re making do with the amazing staff we’ve got. Surrounding ourselves with the right people makes all the difference.
