Ways and Means To Gather Food Naturally or Organically

By

You can always go to a supermarket to pick up all the groceries that you want. Prepackaged stuff is everywhere, frozen dinners are about as easy as you get, and you could live entirely off of microwavable food if you want. However, there are definite benefits to gathering food naturally or organically. Though sometimes those terms can be somewhat ubiquitous, at least focusing on the ideas of natural food production can help you gather your nutrition in a responsible manner.

For instance, you can get your food through hunting, personal gardening, local sourcing, or even out hiking. All of these ways allow you a more direct route to the food that you eat, and in many cases it’s more socially responsible as well as community-oriented. [Read more…]

3 Steps to Take If Your Restaurant Business Isn’t Getting Enough Traction

By

When you have a dream, it’s the only thing you can think about. That dream emanates from your cells, and if there is ever a time you’re not actively pursuing the fulfilment of that dream, you feel lost. Dreams are beautiful things, and everybody should spend their lives in an active pursuit of that dream-never wavering, never backing down, and always doing what needs to be done to see that dream come to light.

The path isn’t easy, and if you’re in the restaurant business, the path becomes even harder to navigate. As is true with any business, the possibility of failure and the looming questions about  bankruptcy will come up, but you’ve got to do everything to push through. Restaurants are a dime a dozen and not only is it your job to make amazing food that people want to eat, you also have to figure out how to get people in the doors and keep them coming back.

Here are 3 steps to take if your restaurant business isn’t getting enough traction:

Evaluate Your Menu

If you own your own restaurant, the reason is probably because you have such a passion for cooking and creating new and amazing delicacies for people to indulge upon. However, if your restaurant just isn’t popular, the reason might link back to your menu. It’s the reason people come to your restaurant in the first place.

It might be hard to stomach the idea that your menu needs work, but if you swallow your pride, ask questions, and make adjustments to the menu, you might find that people start raving about your food and keep coming back for more. When the menu is beyond compare, people will want to share that with their friends.

Host Parties

In business, you often have to do things that might make you lose money on the front end, but will bring in money and business on the back end. If you’re not getting a lot of traction, try hosting parties, and opening up your place for events and catering gigs. Offer up free or discounted appetizers or offer up packages that get people dinner and a drink, coupled with a live show or a free dessert. It’s all about giving the illusion that you’re giving customers something they can’t pass up.

Bring in Entertainment
In the end, it’s about the entire package. If you have great food but your building sucks, people will not come over as often. If you want a restaurant that people rave about, try adding entertainment every now and again. People love live music and love enjoying themselves in multiple regards when they go out to eat. Give the customers a bite, they’ll take the line.
