For my "ask somebody" I obviously did my uncle Jay Manning who owns the restaurant. I talked to him about a week or two ago about his restaurant. I told him I was doing my English project on his restaurant, he was flattered when I told him. A lot of the information I'm about to summarize that he told me, a lot of you may already know. You may know this through my article item from my bundle two. I met up with him at his house, which is literally less than five minutes from the restaurant. He told me about the history of his restaurant and some of the updates he has done and is planning to do in the future.
The history behind the restaurant is that he opened it over twenty years ago. Its an "American" food restaurant. At the same time he had another restaurant open named J&B's (after my two cousins, Jay and Bret), this was in a town nearby. Although that restaurant closed because the no-smoking inside law was passed so he lost a lot of business an was unable to keep both restaurants open. So now he just owns Crossroads Cafe in Acton, MA. It has a wide variety of items on the menu and a decent sized restaurant. He told me he has about 40 staff members. The updates he plans to do is the computer system and maybe make re-arrange the dining room to make it more accommodating for more people. He also plans to update the menu soon because it hasn't been changed in a few years, he says because people love the menu now he doesn't want to change it. I think that he could update it a little and everyone would still be happy. Again, talking to my uncle about this restaurant has taught me more than I ever knew before.
