i'm over the caribbean thing. that was my bad. it wouldn't work. what about this though...
we open up a restaurant but it's actually three different restaurants but just all in the same restaurant. like from 6am to 11am the place is called "rise and shine" and we have a breakfast menu that is just rough ridin' killer. like bangin omelettes and bacon that you just can't even believe. then at 11am we change the signage out front from "rise and shine" to something like "pete's wing house" or "the burger hut" and we have different menus and just drop killer lunch food on people with a daily "burger" or "wing sauce of the week" special. then at 5pm we change the signage again and bust out different menus but this time we are like "fireside chophouse" and you get steaks and more steaks and probably a lobster special on wednesdays and there are fancy tablecloths and great deals on incredible food. also, if we do this in aggieville then we have 4th place called "after hours" or "the party shack" and it's open from 11-2 and we have great drinks and cool music and there are ridiculous lights that light up the ceiling.

Its like printing money.

Still gotta have really nice bathrooms. And in the evening there's an attendant who gives you a towel when you wash your hands.

yep. also, totally forgot that in the morning we have crayons and stuff for kids to color on and we will put what they draw on the wall. only til 11am though and then we take the drawings off but then put them all back up and in the same place at 6am the next day.
-
Do we have to get up on a ladder and change the signs everyday at 11, 5, 11, and close? because that is going to get old. We really need to figure out the sign situation before we worry about anything else.

that would figure itself out. lcd or something similar i'm guessing. or like a tarp behind a tarp behind a tarp type thing.

we're all set then. I'm in.

thought- silverware? different or the same? just riffing here.
-
how about its also a badass doughnut shop in the morning, froyo around lunch time and then awesome desert and pastries and gelato and stuff at night
-
i like this idea

This seems far fetched.

here's a thought, and I'm just spitballin here, what if we somehow integrated the restaurant with turntable.fm? like, the patrons could all spin and the rest of the restaurant could hear it? do you guys think that would be a good idea?

that's a great new idea aj. we're in. except "the party shack" part of the place. they'll probably opt out.

It's like everyone's brain got whiped and completely forgot about Sauces, home of 100 sauces and also home of the Birthday Sauce Splash Zone.

This is a pretty solid plan.
-
Will serve generic pizza and cheap beer.
how about good pizza and cheap wine and expensive beer?

PM me if serious. RD's ideas got the best of him and he has lost it. You appear to have maintained a level head.

oh hi nice to meet you.
yeah. you too.
say, can i buy you a drink.
sure. malibu and pineapple.
great. btw, where do you work?
at pete's wing house.
oh no kidding. i work at rise and shine.
wow. small world. say what's it like to work there.
well i like it. good hours and the management is great. you?
oh it's ok i guess. been thinking about doing something different though. maybe i'll apply at rise and shine and quit the wing house if i get hired.
cool. gotta warn you though. new employee training sucks pretty hard. over twenty omelettes that you have to learn all the ingrediants to and they make you watch a video.

Sounds horrible. Are you trying to close two of your restaurants before they even open?

but it's actually the same restaurant just different restaurants. get it? that's what makes this conversation so funny. i feel like your not getting it.

mornings it's a party drinking adults only establishment. evenings it's a family eatery with cartoons, characters in suits, games, the works. you corner the adult morning party crowd and the evening family party crowd because both seem under served.
-
from noon-4 it's shift change, puke hose-out, character skit practice, chicken finger frying time.
-
hilarity ensues when some of your customers from the adult morning boozeathon come in later in the day and just order coffee and rest their heads on the table while their 6 kids wild out :lol:
-
what about this one- it's a restaurant called "surprises". not a three in one restaurant combo plan. that plan was stupid and i can see that now. the deal with "surprises" would be that the menu may or may not change daily. like tuesday night you go to "surprises" and the menu is all italian food with pasta dishes and lasagna and whatnot and you think well that was pretty good i think i'll go back wednesday but when you go back, now "surprises" has become mexican themed with an all mexican menu and free chips and salsa. surprise. :dunno:
-
even the name changed, surprise suprise
-
even the name changed, surprise suprise
good catch. that was not part of the plan and i've gone back and edited my original post to reflect it. also the waiters/waitresses would have different clothes depended on whatever menu theme "surprises" was working that day, obviously.
-
Nose To Tail. It's obv. one of those "nose to tail" pig places but all it serves is noses and tails. none of the in between parts. also fries.

throw some kale on that menu and we could open up tomorrow.
-
you could fry the tail and it would look like a curly fry, you could call them rocky mountain fries
-
I'm open to this idea. Are we going to have an advanced point of sale system?
-
I would like to see tails, noses from a variety of animals, not just pigs.

Would work great in most of johnson county, but I don't think we would grab as many ppl with this scenario in aggieville. Remember, its all about the shirt sales. Dirty innuendo customized to every game day or other such event/holiday.
-
surprises is a pretty good name for a strip club. might steal that one.
-
i've thought about the whole "surprises" concept all morning and have decided that it maybe is not a great idea.
what about this though...the place is called "hot and cold" and the menu has two sides. one with hot food-soup, french fries, etc and the other has nothing but cold food-potato salad, fruit, etc. you then pay like $6.99 and you get to pick one item of each side or three items for $9.99. drink menu would be the same-one side hot drinks one side cold drinks and the hot side would probably be yellow,red and orange themed with like a sun and the cold side blue with a snowman or something. :dunno:
-
if you picked 3 it would be unbalanced.
-
nevermind. i think "surprises" is back on and i've decided to just use the "hot and cold" restaurant idea as a menu concept for "surprises".
-

Good move. Calling it Hot and Cold seems like a great idea until some other guys open a place called Fire and Ice, then everybody gets the two places confused and then both of them go under.
-
so we all just forgot about Sauces. Ok.
:don'tcare:
-
Logistical nightmare.

Also, it should probably be on a lake.
-
we will need a menu item of such enormous size that if you finish it within 8 hours you get it free. the secret is that
A) it's impossible to finish. the thing is huge
B) it's super salty so you are constantly thirsty
C) we don't have free water. water is $1. also no free refills on any drinks including water. also the cups of water are super pud sized. you'd need to drink over 100 to work on the huge item for the full 8 hours
D) the huge menu item is $100 if you don't finish it (which you can't) and it only costs us, like, $8 to make
E) we make it seems like it's easy to finish and that any dork can do it and you are a super loser if you don't so they keep coming back trying to and ordering tons of drinks
F) kids meals are buy one get one (but the first one is like $15)

ok, new concept for aggieville only restaurant. you know all the places like so long and rab and taco lucha are kind of small and sometimes there's a long wait to get seated. or maybe you're with a group and half want to go to coco bolos and the other half want so long. well what if i opened up a restaurant in the middle of aggieville and the menu was one big menu made up off all the other aggieville restaurant choices but i would charge like two dollars more or something and then my staff would take your order, call it in to go, go get and then bring it to your table. that way you could all eat at a different restaurant but at the same restaurant. :dunno:

just call it changes and use all of these stupid ideas. also play tupac on repeat.

i just meant a central aggieville location but can see where it was confusing. also the best part about this new restaurant is that we wouldn't need a kitchen and from my research that means that we probably will not need as much "startup" money.

Oh, and the tip jar? It will be for receiving tips, like “smile at a stranger,” “put flowers on a grave of someone you don’t know,” or for depositing one’s own tips for others, Cindy says.
They couldn't be more awful if that was their only goal. rough ridin' YOLO Grill. What assholes.

one of those places where they wait staff are complete assholes to everyone. but, in ours, we actually hire assholes to be the wait staff. we will be able to hire them cheap because they are pieces of crap who probably can't find real work instead of normal waiters acting like pieces of crap. the customer thinks it's great and plays along but really is getting their asses kicked by our waiters.
-
expanding on that idea we start a place that is kind of a tongue in cheek illegal immigrant establishment. it looks like nobody speaks english, nobody's getting paid a living wage, everyone works 80 hour weeks, no benefits...the works really. we really ham it up with funny advertisements on the theme. the catch is we actually hire illegal immigrants and take advantage of them and get completely loaded on cash.
-
ok, we do a miles and points theme. we know a ton about them so we can really be experts here. with every meal you get free advice on how to best travel and earn airline and hotel points. we offer free consultations and you can sign up for travel cards and make reservations right from your table. then we steal everyone's identity.

Fountains of Youth
restaurant with various contintuous running fountains of liquid food coverings i.e. golden corral's chocolate wonderfallTM
but it will be fountains of chocolate, nacho cheese, gravy, etc. and you just order carts of various foodstuffs (corndogs, strawberries, twinkies, coconut shrimp) and go to the wonderfalls and douse your crap to your liking.

it would be cool to have the waiter parachute down from an airplane with your food and land at your table with it in a picnic basket. then he gets it out and sets it on the table and runs back into the kitchen as fast as he can to get the next order of food and then out to the airfield to get back up in the air and parachute down again to deliver food to another hungry patron.
obviously the restaurant has no roof
when it's slow he could also help out around the airfield with maintenance type activities- mowing and landscaping, painting, etc.
-
A restaurant with no restrooms at all for anybody, maybe called "Nobody Poops Here" or something. Come there for really great food that we have, but you can go somewhere else for your dirty bowel movements.

think about having a restaurant that serves no food, only drinks. how great would that be? surprised no one has thought of it yet.
i know when i'm boozing i never want to eat. seems like kind of a waste to eat when you're PAK'd up.
-
I'm thinking a sit-down restaurant with no tables. Chairs, but no tables. Have to hold your food in your lap. Also no carry out. You have to eat on site or you don't get any. Slogan: "Our food's so good you'll eat here without a table and just take it." I'm thinking maybe a really long, but descriptive name. "Stand-up Diner; no go head sit down, but there's no tables lol." People love a gimmick.

a restaraunt called "the war zone" that has different rooms with themes of each war. like in one room you could get seated in the WWII room where it has swastikas and stuff on the wall and the wait staff is split between the allies and axis powers. heres the catch: when you sit down you get a waiter dressed like an ally and another dressed like an axis power person. they both take care of you during your meal so you get double the service. when youre done eating... they both go get weapons and fight each other right in front of you to the death or until one surrenders. whoever wins gets the tip. obviously there will be other rooms with like vietnam and the gulf war and stuff so thats just an example. also obviously the waiters will be in full character so if you get a nazi waiter he will only speak german and yell at you a lot. authentic war eating experience. also the food will be like you are in the armed forces so you pretty much only get muck and soup and then maybe on sundays a cheap steak or something.

Bring your own live chicken and we'll kill it and pluck the feathers and cook it for you.
-
A 'straunt with beds available so you can bang before, after or during your delicious gourmet meal. No time limit on the bang itself, but it must have been started within 15 minutes after the meal is finished probably. Can't have people milling around trying to decide if they're going to eff or not.

probably wouldnt work in manhattan or any place where there is a smoking ban. no one wants to go to pound town and not be able to rip a heater or six after.

Guys, I don't think any of these things are good ideas. I'm pulling out (that's what he said) my investments.

same idea but incorporate male genitals fighting. each family brings a rooster and you throw them in the pit together. winning family gets to eat them both, losers go home hungry and without their pussy ass chicken.
