Mike Morand replied to Mike Morand's discussion 'Business Planning - Equipment Capacity/Quality'

Brady, thank you for the response. You made a great point about the opening week needing the higher capacity. I would imagine the opening week, as a first impression, would be critical in putting a shop's best step (and product) forward to encourag…
