The Shepherd Mountain Hotel (SMH) is located near the famous Shepherd of the Hills area on a lake in the heart of the Ozarks, located \u0096 as mentioned in their website \u2013 in the heart of Missouri. The Lake of the Ozarks is the Midwest\u0092s premier lake resort destination, offering world-class boating, golfing, shopping and fishiing, and a wide variety of lodging, restaurants, state parks, and other recreational activities. According to the website, Lake of the Ozarks vacations are de ned by the Lake and its many waterfront accommodations, restaurants, recreational and entertainment venues.<\/p>\n<p>For over 30 years, the Rockyhill family has managed The Shepherd Mountain Hotel, employing family members in management positions headed by the patriarch of the family \u0096 John Rockyhill Sr. in the hotel and overall management of SMH, Inc., his wife, Mavis Rockyhill in the kitchen, and John Rockyhill Jr. in front of the house and bar. The Rockyhill Family had established a statewide reputation for clean rooms, along with good food and generous drinks all at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<p>SMH Business Summary:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 A full service hotel with 90 rooms ?<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 A 120-seat restaurant &amp; bar ?<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 Open for Breakfast, Lunch &amp; Dinner \u0096 7 days a week ?<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 The physical plant is a traditional double loaded slab constructed ?on the water. Note: The hotel and restaurant are over 50 years old and are in need of a major renovation. ?<\/p>\n<p>The Present<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago, the Rockyhill Family decided to sell the business as John Jr. (the Rockyhill family\u0092s sole heir) had a problem with alcohol and did not want the responsibility of running the family business. Because the hotel and restaurant\/bar had an excellent reputation initially there was a lot of buyer interest when the family announced that ? the SMH was for sale after three decades of family management. Unfortunately, the local economy was still struggling after the last recession, gas prices continued to soar, and revenues and occupancy were trending downward at an alarming rate. Adding to the increasingly desperate situation, Mavis Rockyhill- who had always masterfully managed the back of the house operations for the restaurant \u2013 developed health problems of her own and retired from day to day operations leaving her son John, Jr. in charge<\/p>\n<p>Desperate to sell, John Jr. took over all responsibility for the restaurant and bar. He thought he could reverse the downward trend by hiring a group of new, pretty, young college woman, putting them in new skimpy cocktail uniforms, paying them at below the state minimum wage (but augmenting their wages with a bar surcharge on the guest bill which was to be shared equally between the servers and the house.) All bar employees would be hired\/recruited from the local community college in order to lower labor costs and also to attract a younger crowd to the operation.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTyj99p60XCLyLk1htB7-1neRt8-2QdnenNlQ&usqp=CAU\"target=\"_http:\/\/onlineclassesguru.com\/orders\/ordernow\"\/><\/center><p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shepherd Mountain Hotel The Rockyhill family has owned the Shepherd Mountain Hotel for over three (3) decades.
