So if if anyone is familiar, poutine 48 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: is a normal thing in Canada and in some parts 49 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: of America were also loaded fries are very popular around 50 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: the country, especially in n l A. So we know 51 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,679 Speaker 1: that it already exists, but we bring it to the 52 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: We bring it to the South when we put all 53 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 1: a little flat on it. So for example, instead of 54 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: instead of the flavors of l A you might find 55 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: with avocado, old cornea, sada and uh and lot, we 56 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: bring the fried chicken bides with buffalo, with the buffalo sauce, 57 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: ranch drizzle, and then the cup of sprinkles um as 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: well as a few other flavors that were noted for 59 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: in the South and so not so much.

We're gonna get 63 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: to that. I got the whole menu in front of me, 64 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna talk about that menu. Man. What 65 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: you're not gonna do is come on money making conversations 66 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: and and and leave me home with because I gotta 67 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: have that. I gotta have at least at least dream 68 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: of the food that you have at your shop. Okay, 69 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: is that cool? Because I've heard this a lot. What 70 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: is a pop up kitchen? What is that? When you 71 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: used to turn pop up kitchen? What does that mean? 72 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: So at the moment, well, from the beginning, we knew 73 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: that we needed to approach it the food entreneurship and 74 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: the restaurant idea very slowly. So the popa kitchen. We 75 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: take this kind of around the city and just essentially 76 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: presented everywhere we go and spread it as many places 77 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: that we can. So in that mobile farm, we we 78 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: we got the word out and was able to really 79 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: test the councelt so so so basically you're tied to 80 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: a food truck right now, we don't actually have a 81 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: food truck. Okay, we go out and bit up tense, 82 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: bring out our equipment and we bring out so you 83 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: really do set up a little a little kitchen type 84 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: layout where you you on that spot. There's no food truck. 85 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: You set up a little kitchen where you serve food 86 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: on the spot and people can can request uh door 87 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: Dash and grub Hub and Uber eat. Well, we we do. 88 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: That is the through two essence of we do go 89 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: out of certification, but we are on door Dash and grow. Yeah, 90 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: but we do offer delivery on our through our all operations, 91 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: which is a very small.

Cool. So let 94 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 1: me let me let because I have a nephew. You know, 95 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: he has a very popular barbecue place Sting.

We don't know preseason football. But 103 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: he is surviving with the with the door dashes of 104 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: the world and the uber eats and the grub hubs 105 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: order to go. How how is your business being affected 106 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: by the pandemic? So of course we're the shutdown and everything. 107 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: We can't do pop us and we can't do large events, 108 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: and it puts us back into the state and really 109 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: not back into because we stayed in, but into the 110 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: state where we kind of have to to pop up 111 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: from home and do do things in the way that 112 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,720 Speaker 1: what we're done and in times with things were much harder, 113 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: but much harder, but hard as well. So we actually 114 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: we we we went right back to the trap. That's 115 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: the nature of the business and show. And I just 116 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: have to be frank about that. And so far, so good. 117 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: We're very grateful to still be busy. Uh, We're we're 118 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: grateful to feed people and be able to help people 119 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 1: as well. So I can't do anything but speak to 120 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: how grateful we are about still being in there, just 121 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: and you know, still being at That's what I brought 122 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: you on the show bright and the truth is what 123 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: I want people to hear because a lot of people 124 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 1: in your position, a lot of people are caught off 125 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: guard by the pandemic. I was called on carn you know, 126 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: I was. I had plans I was doing in April. 127 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: I plans I was gonna do it May. I expected 128 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: to be making money in April and May, and the 129 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: live events got canceled and all advertising and marketing basically 130 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: ceased in the second quarter this year. So it really 131 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: threw me for a spend. With that being said, what 132 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: lessons have you learned from this experience as a businessman 133 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: who's growing his business, growing his brand. Man a week, 134 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: that's a I have a load of as for that 135 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: because it's so it's so deep for me, Um take 136 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: his time take it to you, So I'll just take 137 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: it straight to the roote. I knew I'm I'm a 138 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: serious entrepreneur in the sense of I feel that many businesses, 139 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: So I knew that coming into this point, I need 140 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: to have everything squared away from the concept to the 141 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: reason behind it and the reason behind it not only 142 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: just being surviving me for the day, but having a 143 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: business that maybe surviving in any any time and that 144 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: would just be so and that we could grow and 145 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: the sense of us a legacy in Atlanta but also 146 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: for a legacy for our sales. But the line and 147 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: in that is just something that lasts and that will 148 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: be vible in any situation. So what the pandemic proved 149 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: and show you was, hey, man, you you you need 150 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: that on the mark because right now you could be 151 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: in a whole lot of situations. But it's several things. 152 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: And one of them is he's not worried. You're not painted, 153 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: and you see light and you you again back to 154 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: back to the gratitude is like I recognize every piece 155 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: of it. So again that that affirms me in many 156 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: ways that all right, you picked the right thing and 157 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: and the hit the mark in that regard of home 158 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: with some others. Uh. And that's something I think that's 159 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: important in business and when people approach businesses. You might 160 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 1: have a great idea, but will it last? Is it 161 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: something that's not necessarily a cential but sustainable and something 162 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: that you can mane and it's just if you need to.

So although we have other 331 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: ways that we're going to evolve into different and more 332 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 1: technical ball right now, we want to go ahead and 333 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: go to all our order and especially during the parts 334 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 1: and when everything starts to kind of move a bit 335 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: a little bit more and faster, uh, just so that 336 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: we can keep us keep track of our data, keep 337 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: act the deliveries and the pickups in the order. And 338 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: you had that place for dashboards and go from now, 339 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: what does social media? How does social media playing your game? Oh? Man? 340 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 1: Social media? So that that's the band of our existence 341 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: in the sense because as my background is also branded 342 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: and marketing. UM from a freelance perspective, UH did media 343 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 1: production and I assisted a lot of brands and just 344 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 1: shaping their business. So I was able to in strategizic. 345 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 1: So I was able to do that for us too, 346 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: in the sense of knowing how to said the logo 347 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 1: just no, I set up the logo, set up the colors, 348 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: knowing how to take the pictures, understand a lot of 349 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: things that go along with the media. Prior to launching Pazos, 350 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: uh is really wasn't really a sense of to launching. 351 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:34,440 Speaker 1: So using those tricks and knowing that the food with 352 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: the quality and hopefully it will go over where I 353 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: just kind of created that formula and launched it. Um. 354 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: I mean, it's so many element to other elements to it. 355 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: But taking that formula, having a formula and launch and 356 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: social media, it's just a tried and true way to 357 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: market freely because once you just go borrow in the 358 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: smallest sense, it carries you business and kind of answers 359 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: and poses questions that you can answer to the kind 360 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: of moving forward. So I don't know, is that for 361 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: for a lot of people who may not speak that 362 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: language is unerstandable. But whatever it is, you know you say, look, 363 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: that's what you're saying. Never I'll never break it down 364 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: because I'm a social media guru. You're talking about, Look 365 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: I got not only do I have great food, but 366 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 1: my food look good. So you take nice pictures of 367 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: your food and you post it and said you can 368 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,199 Speaker 1: get this right here. You might be some people might 369 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: be eating your food, but it's always edible looking photos 370 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: and the engagement that happens the likes or what you're 371 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: seeking here, so people can share that or make comments, 372 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: and when they make comments, I've eating that it's fantastic. 373 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: That's what you're trying to do with social media. You're 374 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: trying to get people to sell your brand. And the 375 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: way you sell your brand is by you gotta do 376 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: your homework if you're gonna if you your presentation is 377 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: really key in social media. Correct branding, correct, absolutely correct. 378 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: It was. It was critical and it's from the photos, 379 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: it's from the videos, any type of content. And I 380 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: chose a mix of three to focus on and to 381 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: have as our our roles, so to speed so that 382 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: if you look at our timeline you can kind of 383 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: see a flow that everything isn't the same. You don't 384 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: do one uh one particular thing, but the way that 385 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: it flows, it looks like we do. But um, you 386 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: have to look at us understanding. And that was critical 387 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 1: because you want people to kind of look at your 388 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 1: feed the same way they look at individual posts. And 389 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: it's talk about impressions even even if you don't like it, 390 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: even or even if they don't like it, even if 391 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: they don't make a comment, you can see many impressions 392 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: photo head or you can well and you'll know as well, 393 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 1: um what they do. Begin to like it what photos 394 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: work or what type of content works and what doesn't work, 395 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: and you gotta say the information and and use it 396 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: and also at your approach. And that that's pretty much 397 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 1: how you know social media works. For us, it's it's 398 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: a way when you do it right to avoid it's 399 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: spending too many digital marketing and marketing dollars that would 400 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: be necessary if you don't have those did so for 401 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: us it's like luckily, not not even letically but facfically 402 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: like instituting that plan. We've been able to build our 403 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: social media page, I mean on Instagram page up to 404 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: see thousands or sixty problem nothing followers now and this 405 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: is like a year and three months in not eve 406 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: than that. So uh, you know, we don't pay for 407 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 1: following when we don't pay for life, You're not I'm 408 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: not fans for nothing really aside from just uh really 409 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: just your your your work, your work, taking the photos, 410 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: your work, sitting down with your team, being creative.
