The other restaurants tested had 85-90% chicken instead of 50%. The chicken ends up ground up into tiny bits and bound with other things - basically salt and sugar - so I don't think it is possible to have 100% chicken post-processing.

Recruiting (and hiring) is a core competency for every company. Especially for startups. A founder should personally be handling recruiting until the company is big enough to have their own internal recruiting department.

Isn't software a tool for leverage? If staff is additive, then software is multiplicative. The right software would allow a staff of 10 to do the work of 30 or 100.
