The fact I had to watch a video to understand the spreadsheet scared me ;)

Although my hubby thinks I LOVE spreadsheets...

You may have to translate Louise...I may need help! Although the first week of any of these challenges is a little tough and then it all becomes clear :D

[Jackie]

Checking in.

Heheheheh :-)

[Stacie]

I need to watch that spreadsheet video. Do we need a restaurant name and I guess in the next week or so should start figuring out strategy if there is one maybe. Early morning pre-coffee thoughts by Stacie...

[LaurLa]

Oh boy... this one does scare me. Please don't put me in charge!!

[Stacie]

Me either lol.

[Jackie]

I know what you mean. I read the rules and watched the video but still looks like a lot to keep up with.

[Snowtulip]

Looks like we’ll have to do some planning and maybe adding another tab to the spreadsheet to capture planning combinations?

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Umm...yeah I am lost at this point in time.

Let me know when we start palnning!

[Stacie]

So yeah, we're going to need a restaurant name and a brief description. We'll also need meal descriptions once we complete them. This is just what I get from looking at the spreadsheet, I haven't watched the video yet.

We should maybe add a tab to the SS for planning purposes.

[Louise]

I’m going to spend some time on this later today. I think I get it. Just need to make sure. From what I can work out how many times we use our book is dependent on its length and how we use it is dependent on the length of the word.

[Louise]

Has everyone got access to the spreadsheet?

[Snowtulip]

So glad you are feeling like it's making sense Louise! I can access the spreadsheet. I've seen some other teams practicing using the SS..I may do that...

[Jackie]

I have access.

[LaurLa]

I have access ... for all the good it does ;-)

[Louise]

I’ve added some test books to the spreadsheet and had a play. I’ve added an extra column to the books read sheet to track spell-it outs.
It seems our highest points come from Sandwiches and Fish and Chips.
Although we need to make sure to have some frozen foods and desserts for the teens.

For Spell-it outs we’re limited by the maximum number of items so if we wanted a peanut butter sandwich we would need to scavenge it whereas we can Spell a vegemite sandwich.

The front sheet auto tracks options used and options available which is good.
I did watch 30secs of the video but I don’t think it’s needed.

[Louise]

What we need before we start

A Description Of our restaurant

I can only view, i sent request to edit

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Description idea:

YOU PROBABLY WON'T READ THIS
Food For Thought's fresh-from-the-stacks menu and funky, mid-century Historical Fiction details have earned it a Horror cult following. Not just a restaurant, Food For Thought is a neighborhood nexus and sensory Book overload ... served with a spoonful of Romance. Think: Mystrey/Thrillers, bright-AF Fictional cocktails, Non-Fiction architecture, and offbeat Fantasy finds. Word! Eclectic is an understatement. But so is this: It’s sure to whet your literary appetite.

[Stacie]

I love this Abbie!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Is Lettuce Read the Resturante name, or do we still need to come up with that? I wasnt sure which was why i just but Name? On it

[Jackie]

Great description, Abbie!

[Stacie]

It can be, I don't think we officially decided that. My thought was Food For Thought as a restaurant name.

[Louise]

Love the description Abbie. Food for Thought is good for a Restaurant name. :)

[Jackie]

I like Food for Thought for the restaurant name.

[Snowtulip]

Awesome description Abbie, you are always so creative!

And terrific restaurant name Stacie!

Looks like we are moving along now.

[Snowtulip]

Looks like we may need a long book for the first round in case we get a dessert client...

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Don't forget you can't start it until after the challenge starts on 7/19

[Ghost in the Stacks]

I assume you meant 9/19. LOL

Not a problem

[Snowtulip]

So we get more points for fish and chips with vinegar...I have about 10 books with vinegar :D

Also, we can swap customers if we do the BOM!

Best hunt them out 😊

[Snowtulip]

Start is getting closer :). How is everyone feeling? Do we need to plan or just read?

Seems we should have a variety of meals since we have no idea who our customers are? But still read for max points? Not sure what the perfect combo is...
