rough draft restaurant

Being a business owner is something that I want to do after college. Knowing people who are some kind of business owner makes me want to strive to be one. I asked a family friend about her business and I find that it really helps to get advice from people who are doing things that you want to do. She recently just sold her restaurant and made another one.

Owner

What made you want to sell your business and start a new one?

The reason why I sold Red sea was because I wanted to start something new and I wanted to have a new place.

What motivated you to start a business?

Well I saw places on lease and some places just were going out of business and I thought of a restaurant to have and when I was telling my family and friends about what I was thinking I ended up really going for it.

What made you still go on during this economy?

Well the economy didn’t really stop me from doing anything. This economy didn’t really stop people from coming here to eat.

What is the main thing that kept you going?

What kept me going is my family they helped out a lot and the people that I serve always make me enjoy my day.

What advice would you give to people who want to start a business?

Well motivation is key so if you really want something go for it and if you think a lot about something try to put it into action.

Family friend

What do you like about the restaurant?

What I like about the restaurant is the environment and I like the food. Since it’s in Minneapolis I don’t go there a lot but it’s a good place to go out to eat.

What are the main dishes?

Well it’s an Ethiopian restaurant but the food is good if you know the food and the culture.

Do you spend your time here a lot? If so when do you have free time?

No I don’t come here a lot I eat if my family want to come and go out eat on weekends sometimes but I don’t really have a lot of free time.

How do you feel when you go into the restaurant?

The thing that I like about the restaurant is the feel of it and it’s a good environment it shows the culture and it’s just interesting to see the place.

Do you think there should be changes?

Well the place is nice and there really isn’t much to change and I like the way the owner put it to make creative so really there isn’t much to change.

What do you order when you come here?

Well when you go there the food is big enough for a family and they have a plate that 4 people can eat from but I eat the beef stew and ground beef there are different names for it but I’m trying to make this in English... but you just have to come here and see the varieties and the food its better than what I’m saying.

Knowing that the economy isn’t the best she still going and it’s not hurting her.
