New Gardendale Hours...Bakery Delights...Dealing with the “D’s”

Kairos Red Velvet Cupcakes Baking into Delicious Goodness



What’s Up Guys,

I hope that your week is starting out well. The past few weeks have been a little rough for us but we believe that this week is going to be a great one! I do have some news about our Gardendale Location. We have been very happy to offer Lunch and Dinner at the Gardendale Kairos, but unfortunately we are not generating enough business at night to justify having a Dinner Shift. Our Lunch Crowd however is great, so starting this week our hours will change up some in Gardendale. Monday through Thursday we will be open from 11:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m. On Friday nights we will open for a special “once a week” Dinner, and on Sunday’s we will continue to do the Kountry Buffet. This is not a decision that was made quickly on my part, and Kairos Kafe Gardendale will continue to be able to provide Dinner for parties and special events at all hours.

By streamlining our services I am excited because it will enable us to regain focus on many parts of Kairos that I feel I have neglected. Starting first we will revamp the Bakery here in Gardendale. It has a ton of untapped potential and things that I am excited about, but I have been so scattered over the last six months I haven’t been able to give it my full attention. Visions of Sweet Tea Cupcakes, Bacon Cupcakes, Cashew Brittle, Cookies and more come to the front of my mind, with some really cool stuff for the upcoming Holidays!

The Katering arm of Kairos will be receiving a makeover as well. We are looking over everything from the food to the services that we provide to see how we can make the most impact on your taste buds and your wallet. In the Works right now we have a plan to put Dinner on wheels for the North of Town Dinnertime and to put Lunch on wheels for the Downtown/Southside Lunchtime. We have most of the kinks worked out... we just have to decide what to call it!

Be patient with us as we learn. Beginning a new business in a new area almost always never works out how you planned. I have had some discouragements over the past few months. But I learned a long time ago not to let things get me down for too long. If I do then I’m headed for despair, and after that depression. These three “D’s” have always got me if I don’t learn how to get a handle on things starting with the first “D”. Just because I am discouraged that is no reason to give up. I’ve even learned that even when good things don’t work out then it just means that Jesus has a better plan for me. If you are discouraged today I encourage you to look at the big picture. Encourage me too if we travel in the same circles!

God Bless You. Thank You for supporting Kairos. Have a wonderful week!
