This week Ealána has Xero on her mind, the new accounting software that she's started using this week under the guidance of Colin from the FD Centre. She's also thinking about what her job title might be when the restructuring comes along. She has many hats! (not actual hats, well, she might have lots of those too; Cams doesn't know).

It's been an interesting week. Ealána's been super busy and it's been a challenging couple of weeks. It shows her grit and determination as a business owner that she got through and not only managed to give the appearance that all was well, but for the restaurant actually to flourish. Making these podcasts gives an incredible insight into the behind-the-scenes work that goes into making a successful night for customers. It's quite inspirational actually, and we hope that that comes through in the podcast, even if it's just a little. We would dearly love some feedback on what we're doing on our social media and with our podcast. If you have ideas or suggestions, get in touch through our Facebook Page or Twitter . It would also mean the world to us if you would subscribe to the show if you haven't already and give us a rating on iTunes. And a review would be doubly welcome – two worlds? Why not! Thanks for your ears, and keep coming back!…

Cams joined them on day 2 and sat in on the meeting with the web designer and the branding team and chatted with Ealána on the Ardrossan train from Glasgow Central. Forgive the ambient noise!
