Mission
Develop an American style restaurant that will appeal to you and
your friends and operated by an American! This would include a central
location to the valley, easy parking, and a menu with your favorite dishes,
with a little flair, reasonable prices, excellent service, full bar and plenty
of space for parties. In other words, let's create something that does not
presently exist in PZ. These are “lofty goals” to be sure and that
is why I request your input.
My name is Chef Memo, “The
Happy Cooker” and I have a passion for cooking! It
started a long time ago in Cleveland, Ohio with a small sandwich shoppe and
culminated with my owning an Italian restaurant in the 90’s in Mesa, Arizona. It was a dinner house seating 135 with a
full bar and meeting rooms.
Though
I do not have that kind of energy today, I still love to cook for my family,
friends and our guests. I have an idea
that has been “on the back burner” for some time. I would like to share that idea with you and
request your feedback as to your interpretation of its acceptance in this
community.
The
basic idea is to prepare a complete Sunday dinner that would appeal to
Gringos! In the beginning we would serve
20 guests, reservations only with a set menu for a fixed price. We would offer alcohol and soft drinks. We would open at 2pm, serve dinner 3pm and
close at 6pm. The dinner would be a
social gathering with excellent food, good friends and affordable. Expansion would be by your acceptance of our
interpretation of the above. I have
been presented with an opportunity to lease just such a beautiful restaurant
that meets our requirements.
This is the concept, presented in its
simplest form. We can accomplish this goal together because you will have
direct input into the development of the restaurant and will be excited about
supporting and seeing your ideas at work in your New Favorite gathering place!
Do I still have your interest and attention? Here are some
basic questions for your input and feel free to make comments below. Remember
we are going to build Your Favorite
Restaurant in PZ, so be honest. This input will lead to our success and
your happiness. Thank You!
You and Your Dining
Habits:
1. How often do you eat dinner out?
2. How many in your party?
3. Favorite Foods (5) you would order when
dinning out?
4. Do you drink alcohol beverages when
dinning out?
5. What is your beverage of choice? Beer,
Wine, Cocktails, Soft Drinks or Fruit Drinks?
6. Price points you are most comfortable
with for a good dining experience? Give
range from low to high. Be realistic,
not including beverages of choice.
7. What time of day do you like to eat
dinner and what is your average time at the restaurant?
8. How far would you travel from your home
to dine?
9. Please tell me WHY you think this
idea WOULD or WOULD NOT work and what you suggest TO make it
work.
I
appreciate your time and effort with this plan and look forward to your
response via e-mail. No phone calls
please.
Pura
Vida,
