A NEW RESTAURANT FOR THE COMING YEAR

I was told by a chef friend to visit her in at the restaurant that she operates. Her restaurant specializes in American dishes. Her restaurant has been around for about 5 years also. I believe we started the same year when I opened my restaurant. I also remembered that we both did shopped together and bought the kitchen utensils, woks, pans and other things that are essential in operating a restaurant. We also shared recipe books. I always borrow her recipe books because it was so unique and she likes to buy limited edition recipe books.

My friend told me that the American dishes that she prepares in her restaurant were not enough to get a large market share in the restaurant industry. She added that she wanted to co-own a business with me as her partner. But since I do have a restaurant, that idea was not longer gonna make it to reality. Instead of co-ownership, I suggested that she needs to adopt to the trends of the eating public. Introduce new foods in the restaurant, innovate and not duplicate what others already did.

Out of the blue, she made a decision to open a coffee shop and cake station. That was a good idea I told her because during our schooling at the culinary school, she always excelled in the baking sessions that we undergo in the school. She makes cake like magic and no other one can duplicate what she can do in the baking department. I am so happy to have helped my friend. She might open the coffee shop next year and I am excited to see that soon.
