What a week we just had! Storm season finally caught up with us, and it did a real number on our operations. Usually, a blackout around here only lasts a couple of hours, but this storm was a completely different beast.
We were left entirely in the dark for a few days. To make things even more interesting, when the power finally did kick back on, only half of our electricity worked—which meant our internet was dead for another full day.
While my wife and kids managed to escape the outage and head out of town to a nice resort, I stayed behind to hold down the fort and keep things moving as best I could. Of course, the exact day we would have been leaving was the day the power finally clicked back on at the restaurant. That meant an immediate mountain of work: inspecting the inventory, throwing out what didn’t survive, and grinding hard to get everything prepped and ready to open the doors again.
Back on the Restock Quest 🃏
Before the weather decided to interfere, we were absolutely flying through our card inventory. We officially wrapped up Opus V and are sitting right at the finish line for Opus VI. We honestly would have been completely done with Opus VI by now, but that’s right when the storm struck and pulled the plug!
Shipping Update 📦
If you currently have a pending order with us, thank you so much for your patience. Now that our lights, internet, and computers are fully operational again, we are working around the clock to pack, tag, and ship every single order out A.S.A.P.
The resilience shown in reopening is truly inspiring. Operational recovery, especially after a major disruption, underscores the critical importance of stable financial planning and managing cross-border capital flow. Keeping a close eye on exchange rates, like tracking the baht to php, is key to long-term stability and successful restocking.
