Good news for Kids night!

Dear Kid's Night families,
A little while back I expressed a concern over the future of Kid's Night, due to slow business and a new CEO of the company. I mean the original Kid's Night was supposed to be a 5-10 (15 tops) minute activity to keep the kids busy while you waited for your order. Obviously we are way past that and I think what we have is special and unique. I like to think you do as well.

The good news is I talked to my district manager, and he too thinks we have something good here, and has no plans to let Kid's Night go by the wayside with budget cuts. I am, however, in talks with him about a budget for Kid's Night, another concern i had, but he is willing to work with us and come up with a plan. And he has seen the many nice guest feedback from those of you who took the time to do them, THANK YOU! If you haven't already done so, and you think Kid's Night is worth it, please take a few minutes to visit this website( Guest Feedback) and do the guest feedback. Be sure and mention the specific store and Kid's Night and Kid's Night Mike.This will help assure we get support in the future for what we do. I appreciate your help. Also take a moment to tell a manger at the store when you are in there.

While there is no "bad" news, I have seen the average numbers going down the past month or so. If there is something you don't like that we do, or something that we don't do enough of,  please let me know. If you haven't been in a while, we have changed quite a bit in the back room. I have rearranged the set up to make it easier to find things and get around the tables. I have also started adhering to the rule, less is more, offering as few options as needed. I heard an interview that said that when given too many choices, people will choose to stay away rather than have to deal with them. So I am applying this philosophy to Kid's Night. I think its working out nice, as we have been able to really concentrate on the few things we do. I will always have extras on hand for those who like a challenge, but we're going back to the basics, games, crafts, music and FUN!

So please, if you havn't been in while, come on back and give us another try, we miss you! If you no longer need/want to be on our email list, just let me know, no explanation needed. I look forward to a summer full of FUN at Kid's Night, and I hope to see more and more of you there too!
