We wanted to start a restaurant and we just kept getting rejected by banks. We you know, turned over every cushion in a couch, purchased a food truck and we started to get awards. We started to be invited to festivals and everything. And then that created the opportunity for our first brick and mortar, which we call our first neighborhood fried joint.
And that's when our warehouse got hit by a tornado. Oh that was the push. You know, this is the second time in my life a natural disaster has impacted me in that way. I hope that it doesn't always take a natural disaster to do that. At any moment, you can start fresh and change your mind.
You had to understand yourself and you really want to focus on what the business is doing. I know you mentioned into it quick books and it's going to take care of a lot of things for you. That's the one thing you want to do is get us much off of your plate so you can focus on how's this going to run, How are my customers going to feel when they're in there as opposed to and I remember to put that proceed in.
