How Better Equipment Can Improve Efficiency for Small Businesses

If your team is working hard but still falling behind, your equipment might be the bottleneck. Many small businesses focus on marketing or hiring first; however, outdated tools often slow everything else down. When you upgrade the right systems, you not only save time but also unlock smoother, more predictable growth.

According to reporting on downtime costs by ITPro, organizations now lose an average of $15,000 per minute during unplanned outages. While that figure reflects larger firms, the lesson still applies: unreliable systems quietly drain revenue.

Dinner at Log Jam Restaurant

The Log Jam Restaurant in Lake George is aimed to mimic the Adirondack experience of being in a cabin and eating some fantastic food. The actual restaurant is huge, one room has a fire place, another has tons and tons of plants… it’s a very unique looking building that feels just like it’s own homey vibe. My sister works at Log Jam and has said the food is fantastic, so we were excited to go and eat! We did sit at the bar, though there were plenty of tables, as she prefers to do that. They do have a large menu with steak, seafood and a lot of fun dishes.
