Funding, partially through donations, is not sustainable.

FWIW it sounded like they were short on money to repair their cooler, not short on money for operations.

Sorry, but repairing the cooler and whatever is next is part of the cost of operations. I guess, using the logic presented, if my HVAC goes out at home, I should expect my friends and neighbors to kick in for the repairs/replacement. Guess running a business doesn't work the way I have known it to work for MANY years.

I guess in my mind operational expenses are more day-to-day costs such as supplies and labor, but I admit I’m probably wrong.

So, now they still have many of the problems they had before AND everyone thinks they're closed now.

Equipment repair is part overhead and part operational expenses for a business. At least that is what 35+ years in industrial maintenance management has taught me.

Now, if it's a total replacement, that is capital and depreciated, but I didn't see anything metioned other than repairs. Even if it's capital and then depreciated, that cost needs to come from the day-to-day profits of a business

Noli's is back at it again on Facebook

Make better pizza and have better service and I'll gladly support. The construction inconvenience doesn't bother me one bit.

It's hard to want to support those shortcomings. Of course, for even the places that have poor ownership/management, no doubt they still provide jobs and likely have good people who get caught between the harsh realities. It seems perhaps appropriate that the establishments not on their A game are the first ones to complain or succumb "to the streetcar". Still, even the better run places obviously have taken a hit from extended construction.

I wonder if some of the grant money could be spent toward generic or flexible food trucks that could operate as pop-ups for some of these food establishments? There are places and events that are sure to have more proven foot traffic that could be taken advantage of for supplemental income. The Gene Leahy Mall for example has plenty of regular foot traffic(construction be dammed) and yet generally has lackluster options for food trucks. I swear half of them are churro centric. Other than Terrible Gerald's, which usually sets up in the Old Market, it's not like the areas has an excess of pizza by the slice options. This could be good for Noli's, Izzy's or even VIP who seems to be holding their own.

The short of it, go to where there's known high foot traffic and maybe there's a couple of different trucks that could be operated at low costs with some grant money. Have one truck that has an oven for pizza and another with a grill/flat top/fryer that could be useful many other cuisines. Then have them rotate use in the parks and big events.

Thats a good idea. So many of these businesses like to complain (I am sure to an extent it is appropriate) but think about something to do rather than not changing anything. I mentioned the situation of Addy's downtown and how they weren't serving food after the Keith Urban concert last year even though it was a Saturday night. Then they complained about not having business. Meanwhile, DJ's right across the street, planned and kept their kitchen open a little longer and made bank on the amount of business they got as a result.

One thing Noli’s could do is offer slices throughout the day like VIP pizza and others. I went once around 3p and they weren’t serving slices anymore, only full pizzas. There have been many times I’ve wanted to swing in and grab a slice.
