Thank you all for helping us spread the word about The Temple Club and for your support. lets look at just a small thing that was brought up by the EBX. While immigrants come here lacking funds, connections and languages they do come here with the family tree and support to open these places with little labour cost.
This of course is the highest cost we endure. This provides the immigrants the ability to survive longer than others in some cases. I see the filed as more level here as I came back here with no funding and have to endure staff costs while trying to open a place in a lower rent area.
This does have some advantages such as if I do make it I can help be a anchor to attract more people to open more places near and around me. Getting involved in an area like where I am is vital to the other businesses that have already opened near me and need the attention of the media.
But the other places must understand you have to have something to draw people in and be able to create a customer experience that makes them want to return with friends. This is the key in my opinion that the immigrant business owners need to learn and or have faith in themselves. Im hoping that doing food that they would not due can show them that they can and should do.
I hope as a community we can all help encourage diversity and innovation even if its not new but very traditional food that can help give more color to the area.
Thanks, Geoffrey
