And tenemos fully llega, but if we're not fully staffed, we can't be fast. So try to hire people. Two weeks ago, I hired 10 people, right? And the thing with the food truck is that you cannot at the same time because you don't have the space, and I cannot bring you in on a Friday or Saturday because we are jammed with work. So I have to kinda tell people, "Hey, two come on Monday, two on Tuesday, two, uh, that." And, you know, that week, you know, that I call, I have to call and be like explaining the job, explaining where it's at, see if I get a good fit, right? And then you tell 'em to come, and only two showed up. And out of those two, only one survived. We already tried, marketplace. We now are trying indeed. So let's see how these people go, and you know, the reason why because we haven't really been able to be full staff here in San Antonio. It'll be amazing if people be like, "I'm not gonna make it, you know what? This is not for me." No, they just ghost. That's the reason why I haven't been posting. So we're chilling.
