A special thank you to and Brent Xavier (Cornell Alumni) for helping me first strategize then properly structure the entity. If anyone is thinking about starting a business — I suggest Brent and Pact Legal is your first meeting. Brent is a first principles thinker and won’t bill for unnecessary work. Disclosure: I’m not an employee or investor in Pact - Just a believer and a friend of Brent. Excited to continue to work together!

Going from an idea to ex*****on in 6 weeks was a tremendous intellectual challenge for myself and the founding team. Taking classes at Cornell and running a profitable business was a tremendous opportunity and one that I never took for granted. I struggled and had victories — but the most valuable piece was the knowledge/friends gained along the way. I started 2S2G with $10K, a vision and a world-class team. I hope to restart the restaurant in the future once I’ve narrowed my career focus and established a reliable team. I followed every lesson I learned to ensure 2 Stay 2 Go was unit economic positive from day one. Attaching our second week income statement for reference (% is wrong for dine in revenue sorry). We broke even in 2 weeks and grew from there - was straightforward. Students earned “profit share” instead of a paid salary — inflating operating margins. Still is a cool story and I just wanted to say thank you to all that helped. If any ambitious students are up for a challenge come 3Q23 hit us up. I’ll personally be joining a VC incubator to help structure my next venture. All the best — Daniel. Thank you .capuano

Thrilled to have Jeremiah C. Swain and Nabila Okudo join Daniel Jones and the 2 Stay 2 Go team! Jeremiah and Nabila will work to further integrate 2 Stay 2 Go with Mesa Verde Restaurant Group and Soul of the South Catering -- our recent acquisition announced this week.

Jeremiah is a graduate of Morehouse College '11, the Culinary Institute of America '16 and Cornell University's MMH Program '20. Jeremiah brings the energy! He'll help lead our efforts in commercial sales, product development, and branding. From Union Square Hospitality Group to Coca-Cola and his role as CEO of The Other Narrative -- Jeremiah knows how to build a brand and we couldn't be more pumped to have him join the family!

Nabila is excited to contribute her design, marketing, and retail expertise to the business and hopes to leverage previous experiences as a Buying & Pricing Strategy Intern at Macy's and a Communications Associate for the Community Foundation of Tompkins County. From mouthwatering chicken sandwich pictures to logo redesigns and future cooking shows -- Nabila's talent will show itself!

Welcome to the team and let's get to work!
