donna: hi, this is donna at stein meat. we still have a balance of $2,300. : well, i'm sorry, but somebody from billing is going to have to get back to you. donna: okay. ira: this is ira from stein. man #6: let me call you back. donna: bye. not in. he's not in? ira: there's an old balance, 60 days today. woman #5: i just don't have it right now. woman #6: the number you dialed is not in service. donna: out of business. amber: let me ask you, what should someone be doing in this situation in general, if you wouldn't come in? lemonis: what i would recommend is that you start tightening up people's balances. instead of doing $50 million of revenue, you may do $30 million of revenue, but if people are always paying late, and you keep shipping them, then they're going to start using you as a bank. what you're doing now is ringing the register but never collecting it. what's the point? everyone on the team clearly understands the importance of collecting this money except for frank. frank: hey, kelly. it's frank over at stein meat. i need two cases of 18-by-20 and

you see, i started by going to this "business" in brooklyn called stein meats. wow. ary meat house in new york, they would supply people like peter lugers and wolfgang's -- some of the best steakhouses in america. walk me through the process of how it works. howard: this is the receiving area. we get all out fresh meat through here. owners alan buxbaum and howard mora had taken over "a. stein" from their fathers who founded the company. and their hamburger, the brooklyn burger, was the staple at new york's three biggest sporting venues. good burger. it's the best. it was a $50 million business, but something didn't smell right. so the money that the customers owe us -- those are the receivables. correct. how much is our total receivables right now? couple hundred thousand? almost $4 million on the street. are you kidding me? so, based on that information, the offer i made was to put $1 million in and own 50% of the business. and the way i arrived at the $1 million offer was the receivables and liabilities -- the assets and the liabilities were off by about $1 million.
