Interview presentation“bilu’s restaurant” By Candido Gonzalez
Abstract In this presentation I will be talking about an interview I had with the owner and chef of a recently opened restaurant. I picked this restaurant thinking that since it was fairly new it would give me more up to date information to share with my classmates. In this interview I just simply asked questions like what motivated you to open a restaurant, why that type of food and some basic need to know things about the industry likesanitation, providers, budgeting, others opinions and menus.
History I started cooking at a very young age, I would say around when I was twelve. By the age of eighteen I opened my first restaurant in my country Colombia. Later I came to America and worked in restaurants in New York city and also here in Virginia. Now after all these years of hard work I once again have the opportunity to open my own.
What motivated you to open a restaurant? The desire to share with others about my country and the chance to make a dream come true.
How much of a budget do you need to open a restaurant? Well that really depends on what you’re trying to do and on how big you envision yourself. But never be discouraged after doing your numbers and thinking that’s to much for you.
Do you worry about your competitors ? Of course I do; If I don’t that puts me behind the curve and you always want to be on top of your game. “Never let your ego control you”.
Is there something you would like to change about your restaurant? Yes… My menu. Because it is to big, I would personally like something smaller and more based on my specialty which is seafood.
What types of food handling or sanitation process do you practice? We have what we are required by law. Our code of ethics. • Triple deep sink. • Hand washing station. • Dish washing machine • Freezers to keep foods at appropriate temps. • Serve every food item as you would like to receive it.
Who are your main providers? My #1 and the one I trust the most is Me! Because I will go out and compare prices and make sure that what I’m purchasing is fresh and of high quality. My #2 is Prime dist. But there are many others out there.
