MANAGEMENT

The present management team comprises of the founders themselves, with back-up from other family members. As we grow, we will take on additional help in certain key areas. Part of our basic philosophy will be to run our executive management "lean and mean." By doing this, we will keep our overhead as low as possible, allowing us to adequately staff our Restaurants. This will also allow us to recoup our initial investments as quickly as possible and enjoy a higher return.

At present time, Minerva is team of 5 individuals firmly committed to our concept. Others, who have helped on the development of this business plan, have expressed a desire to join in this venture at the appropriate time. Other key personnel are the managing partners and management teams at each location. Some of these candidates have been around since our inception and can potential be our working-Partners in our future locations.. No shortage of qualified staff or management from local labor pools in each market area is expected.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

Future organizational structure will include a “Director of Restaurant Operations” for each location. We hope that this individual will come out of the ranks of our restaurants' proprietor/managing partners or our senior Employees. This will provide a supervisory level between the executive level and the Restaurant management level.

Currently, we plan to have our accounting and payroll functions done by a contracted bookkeeping service. However, we will constantly monitor this expense and at such time that it is economically feasible, bring this function in-house. Other possible positions that might be added at a later date include controller, director of human resources, director of training/new Restaurant opening team coordinator, director of research & development, and administrative assistants.  Operations of individual Restaurants will be the responsibility of the “Director of Operations”.
