Today Fame is going to open. I instructed Dani and Sophie to put a poster in front of the store yesterday. The poster explains that the first 10 customers won't need to pay, and that if you called a friend both of you only pay half. The promotion will be valid until the end of the week.
The idea is to show how the restaurant works and to capture people's stomach.
Right now me and Lucius are helping the staff to get the last details in place. Outside the store there's already a line. Maybe because of Temone success, a lot of individuals are curious about the new restaurant style.
I'm not gonna lie that I'm a little nervous. What I'm trying to do is really different of what this country population is issue to.
But as my grandma always said: we won't know if we never try.
"Miss everything is ready, can we open now"
Wow, Sophie you are really excited ne?
"You should first give a speech for your staff"
"Me? No, no. Miss, you should be the one. I don't know how to do it"
I am too lazy to do, but Sophie looks really pitiful... haaa...
"Only today. However, I want you create some routine to open the restaurant, a shout a dance I don't care. This is your punishment"
(Later on, Sophie and staff would open the restaurant and perform a dance. This routine was so moving that the regular clients would always join them in the end and yell WELCOME TO FAME to the clients that saw the routine for the first time)
"Call everybody here"
As I waited everyone to gather together, I saw that very few people were someone that I didn't know of. The others were either acquaintances or my childhood friends.
"Guys today is first day of Fame. I can't put in words on how happy I'm for being here with you guys, even if you only knew me today I'm really happy that I can share my dream with you. This is the first All-you-can-eat restaurant of this country, so in some way we are all leaving a mark in our kingdom history! So have fun and make the most of today. Thank you for your hard work! Lets go team!"
Some people yelled while some clapped.
I really suck in making a speech.
"Lucius come with me let's greet our guests"
As everybody went to their place the doors of Fame opened for the first time
"Welcome to Fame. The Lunch Menu focus is meat. To enter Fame you need to buy a ticked worth 70 copper coins. The ticket grants you the chance to eat all the dishes provided on our many as many times as you want. Table for 1?"
...
Fame is packed. Because started to get a waiting line, we decided to open the private rooms at the second floor for public use.
Because of my status no one tried anything funny, but seeing the restaurant popularity I think I will hire some of the knight apprentice from Spero.
I sometimes sat down and talked with the clients, besides asking their feedback for the food, I also asked about their life, like kids, relationships and etc. I also promoted the membership system and Temone, and told them that next week I will open another restaurant with a different proposal and a department store.
Lucius would also go to the table and sell our products. Because of his looks he sells way more than the me.
Mon ~ so unfair.
On dinner time there was less people on the restaurant when compared to lunch time. But this was within our calculations. What surprised us was that 4 group of nobles came. All of them had a platinum member so they all opted to go to private rooms.
Because the dinner is pastas, I gifted each group with a wine exclusive to IP stores. Because it has many spices and the brewing require a special technique it's a bit expensive and we thought it wouldn't sell so well, so the stock only had 12 bottles. The result is that in the end of the night there wasn't 1 wine to tell the tale.
2 out of the 4 groups asked me where did I bought the wine. Answering them that is the house wine they sweared that they would become regular clients.
Maybe I should also open a winery?
