Our cafe in the Crimea. “Ponchitos” в Евпатории

Shel 64 day continuous operation “Pončitose”… When you travel to different places, It is sure to inspire some idea. Многие говорят: “How boring to live!” – But if a bit to see the world without this black veil before your eyes, be sure to see a lot of interesting and inspiration zacherpnёsh small spoon, and then, can, и целым ведром.

За пару лет проживания в Китае, мы с Юлей полюбили посиделки в “Старбаксе” and, of course, думали: когда-нибудь откроем свой собственный 😉 Будем там крутить джаз, that we like, and other background music, kofeek sipping and eating it with all sorts of snacks. And most importantly, to meet there with friends and organize something entertaining.

Less than two more years, we, наконец, opened his cafe in Yalta! Of the many options, which floated in front of us, most likely was the third trip to China to work. I can honestly say, nostalgia for a comfortable life flattered consciousness: when you go to work on weekdays, day break in sleeping or dining in a nice restaurant, sure you go for walks in the evening or have dinner at the cafe; nearby there is everything you need for an active holiday, there is always a means to pleasure, and there are already a vacation close, and can to travel to a new place, where we still did not get.

All this and so does not disappear from the horizon – the opportunity to go to work in China remains, but the thirst for new achievements spodvigla we ordered the machine for the production of donuts and actively engage in the search space for the first donut in Yevpatoria. One of ideological inspirers were our friends Krasnoyarsk (Sasha, привет!), for what they are most grateful.

The device was already here, but with rooms rather tensely. We searched for a major local newspaper advertisement every week, but it was not suitable, a week or two or three, and we have already started to experience, what I miss the seasons… but one walk led us out Karaev, in 15 minutes from our house.

So we decided on a location, near the waterfront.

In mid-spring, no one knew, Do tourists come to Crimea or not at all, for the premises on the waterfront asked a lot of money at once for the entire season and not the fact, get them to work. Now we can say, that a lot of tourists. Someone can be compared with two years ago Yevpatoria, but the incredible crowd, when on the beach there is no free space, housing does not normally remove – it too. The next year, people will be even more, naturally, if the situation will continue to calm.

We became engaged in repair – it is always one of the most costly and nice, that we have always been wonderful, people who can, who helped us and help in all phases.

Couple ideas, which should be remembered in any endeavor:

• it is not necessary to try to do everything yourself – cost-cutting, turn into a waste of effort and enthusiasm can quickly abyss;
• should not rush with the choice (места, providers, equipment);
• you need to cook and sell things, Services, to be able to do it with pride.

In fact, these ideas are very much, they are in Russian sayings about one head – “well, two is better”, and about “haste”…

The most important thing, about these good rule to remember, and their use in the. About the choice of things, which can be sold – very important point: if we sell coffee, then take a good (not cheap) and never dilute; If we spill kvass, then we return a glass “with slide”, filtered and tasty – best in town. Doughnuts do every day, glaze the top, now add the toppings – delicious. Therefore, we are happy to talk about and snacks to all visitors, I want to see a happy face, when they try it all. Sometimes you want to eat most of the range, only then remembered, that will sell nothing if, and we quickly “burned”. Milkshakes do with milk and ice cream – it was very nice to hear a few times, that cocktail “as in childhood” I turned on a traditional Soviet recipe (a little more vanilla syrup).

I do think, that in times, when the majority tries to save on all ingredients, and would gladly have made everything from powders, put a bit of banana in banana milkshake – it is fortunate for the client. People are tired of substitutes and would love to come back in the days, when nobody heard of MSG. Ах, if everything can be done only by removing the peel and squeeze the juice…

Ideas for the development of a lot, main question, to implement it all. Gradually our café has acquired regular customers and thanks to them that our café is constantly improving.

All of us are willing to development and prosperity, we will try to expand, and we want to express our gratitude to all, who helps us so our original idea.

P.S. thought, пока допишу статью уже и лето пройдёт 🙂 Ан нет, had.
