After tomorrow. Nobody would ever know there was ever tile in the place.
This is a new business adventure. We just got the keys earlier this week. We've got a lot of work ahead of us but things are coming along nicely.
Plan to be open the first weekend of September for the start of the NFL season. Fingers crossed.

What did you use to strip that floor if you don't mind telling me. I just bought a new house and the front porch is painted about that same color and I would like to get it off instead of painting a diff color if at all possible.

I would be more than happy too host but wouldn't want to disappoint anyone. We could find a much livelier city. In fact the new bar is about an hour south of Fresno

In this case it was a cheap box store epoxy. I'm not sure of the brand or how long it was on the floor.
For the most part we just used high heat and a surface cleaner. It took about 80% of the epoxy off. Then we brought in the diamond bit floor grinder to remove the rest on day two.

In your situation I would apply a good paint/epoxy stripper. I usually use easy strip 1000 or 2000 depending what is on the surface. But the product is pretty expensive. I have recently experimented with jasco paint and epoxy remover with pretty good results after a thread was brought up here about stripping paint. And you can purchase that at a hardware store. High heat will help a lot.
If you post a few pics of your porch I or someone else here may be able to help a little more.
Let the product do the work. There is no need to be overly aggressive.
