Hello world of amazing Steemians!
As many of you have been noticing, since some weeks now, i have been a little away and not so active on Steemit! I was simply making a daily post but could not engage like before as i was really busy!!!
The reason that I became so busy is.... I am opening a small grill restaurant in couple of days!!! The past 2 months, I was just busy setting everything up!
It is not a big restaurant, it is a place where I will mainly focus on take away food! There is a couple of seats if you wish to eat on site too!
The food I will be serving will be sandwiches, chinese dumplings, noodles, ice cream and some snacks for lunch and mainly chicken and lamb grill in the evening!
This is the view of the restaurant when you are entering!
Couple of chairs available for those wishing to eat on site or be surprised with a personalized menu I will prepare for each and everyone!
The guests will be able to see everything live and direct!
My gas grill, toaster, hood and deep fryer is ready to attack...
I found this steem logo on the toaster I bought...
Let's have a closer look...
Skewers, tongs, brush, grater, peeler etc... all on stand by!!!
Accepting STEEM and SBD as payment!!!
Since I joined Steemit, I had this in mind...when I open a business...I will surely accept cryptos as method of payment!
So voila, with PMC Grill and Resto, you can place your food order and pay directly with your Steem or SBD, simply transfer into my steemit account!!!
Promoting Steem and Steemit
When PMC Grill & Resto will be opened, I will be in direct contact with so many people everyday...I thought why not do some steemit promotion here!!!
I am putting the target of on-boarding at least one new user on Steemit per day, which I think is feasible! I will be showing to them how they can blog during the day and with the rewards they can get food and drink at PMC Grill & Resto! Isn't it great!?
On the same time I will be growing the Mauritian community on Steemit! Stay tuned for more news on same!!!
Please guide me!!!
I have been doing some researches on where I can get some promotional materials designs- flyers/ business cards/steem logo/etc... but I am a bit confused of what I can use or not!
Is there someone from the marketing team of steemit helping out such initiative? I would like to know more!
I want my restaurant to be fully branded with steem/steemit, am I allowed to do so?
Where to I get the promotion materials from!?
Thanks in advance for your help!
I have plans to open the restaurant in the next 10 days or so, I would really like to hear from you guys what you think about this?
Any idea/suggestions will be the most welcomed!
I hope to see you guys in Mauritius one day and stop by at PMC Grill & Resto for some nice food paid with steem/SBD!!!
Looking forward to your comments!
Thank you!
@progressivechef
EDIT:
Following some suggestions from some friends, I am tagging this #utopian.io as an idea/suggestion :
Would be great if we can have a single place where we can get access to all promotional materials we can use freely. It can be an app, or on a website or simply on the steemit UI itself.
All documents find there must be updated and ready to use by anyone wishing to make some promo in their country and in any business.
Thank you!
hey brother is this your restaurant:D:D
Hello my brother! Yes this is my small restaurant where I want to make simple people who has never seen star Michelin food in their life to experience it with me!
It a nice restaurant and a nice place for the steem community
Absolutely, I want to make that place like a steemit hub!
Hi @progressivechef! It's very interesting the concept of owning a restaurant that accepts steem. :)
nice restaurant and inspiring cause! Keep going!
Yes that is her restaurant @bitcoincompany 🆗
That is his restaurant
Oo thanks:)✍✍
So important that we use this as an example, and support him and get all the people in town who are hiugry tpo go do some work on steemit and make some Steem/SBD and use theor upvotes also as payment, i mean we need to find way sto alow someone to earn some money and then get a small loan of a few SBD to pay for food INSTANTLY and in 7 days when they get paid they pay off their loan and it will help a lot of people find their way of instantly working and getting paid to be able to eat! Too much red tape and restrictions in our world!
First of all this one awesome development. Sometimes, i look at the world and i envisage crypto currency its all going to come to pass one day, congratulations
I am Cornholio! (Whoa! Hm heh... that was cool) I need T.P. for my bunghole! Come out with your pants down!
Thank you mr corn: 😁 whoo whats T.P and whats a dung hole? Im lost lol
Pants down? Now this is getting scarier 😁😁
goob andnice vd
It really interesting as cryptocurrencies have seen an increase in it usage in diverse ways especially in business and trade
Hello @progressivechef ! I hope you remember me. I was the guy who asked you whether you really accept crypto-currency in your resto last week! And you informed me about Steemit!
Any Mauritian reading this comment! Please, try his burger! Among the burgers I've eaten around the island, his is one of the best!
Any non-Mauritian planning to come to Mauritius, be sure to visit Notre Dame at least once around 18 30, try PMC's burger! You'll want more!
Until next time, cheers! :D
Hey my friend!
What a pleasure to see you joining Steemit after our recent conversation!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment! I just hope we can grow the Mauritian community here, but first we need to spread the word to friends and family!
Hey this is awesome! I'm the Community Liaison for Steemit and you're free to contact me via email at [email protected] or on steemit.chat. If you're looking for steemit brand apparel this is our official store: https://thesteemitshop.com/
What a great pleasure reading from you here on my post! Thanks for your message on steemit.chat, I will be sending you some logos/designs I am making and see if they can be validated or even better upgraded!
Thanks so much for the help!
Congratulations on your own restaurant, @progressivechef !
This is a huge step and I'm excited to see it happening for you. It's also a great opportunity to promote Steemit and Steem since you accept it as official payment method!
Maybe I'll come visit it in Mauritius soon 😉
Plato once said if you want to change the world you have to start with yourself.
There is also another sayings by #anon which says if ">quoteTHE BEST WAY TO PREDICT THE FUTURE IS TO INVENT IT"
To me your leading by example.
Your not only telling people what to do but rather your showing them how to do it.
This will get people who are crypto denials to reconsider their decision and also help to create mass adoption of #STEEMIT.
I wish you the very best in your business as you create more awareness for #Steemit
Hi... What a Great news!! Hearty congratulations and all good wishes dear Brother @progressivechef....
It's really great idea to accept steem and SBD. May God bless you always... :)
Hey my sister! How I am happy to read from you here! Thanks so much for all the wishes!
Hope to have you one day enjoying some food prepared by me!
Any discounts for new steemite members?
Of course there will be some interesting discounts for steemians!
This is terrific! Great work and congratulations.
Oh thanks so much for approving the idea my friend! Wow! A resteem from you is just magical thing to happen!
You are indeed a progressive chef
Hey my friend it's really a great idea that you had started and its new here people will know about steem and because of you the acceptance of steem and sbd will increases and also people will know about the steemit community. And your father plan to open a restaurant is also very interesting. My friend best of luck.
Yes my friend, I really want to use this restaurant to promote steemit/steem and educate people out there about the awesomeness of this place!
Thanks so much for your great comment!
You made a good point about the promotional materials. As of now it's all pretty much grassroots and scattered all over. Anyway, really nice to see you've opened up a restaurant to be serving up great meals for your customers. All the best and hope to be seeing more steemy stories out of your venture!
Yes! The amazing @kevinwong approves my idea! Thanks so much mate!
Looking for the promo materials is really taking a lot of time, but I am sure something will be done soon to make it easier for everyone!
I will surely share all the steemy stories with you all soon!
You are allowed to use the Steem logo and brand however you want, but any use of the Steemit logo/name should be approved by Steemit. You can reach out to @andrarchy if you have questions.
Hello sir! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my post! Really appreciate it!
Ok i will mainly use the steem logo then, as for steemit I will only encourage people to join the platform!
Thanks again!
First of all congratulation to you ,for your first steemit Hotel opening.
If you give permission than I will make a business card for your hotel in which you will get name of dishes you provide and various other thing just give me permission .

This I believe is going to be good news for Steemit and steem hopefully more businesses will follow, cheers
I really hope some more people on here starts selling their services and accept payments of Steem/SBD. This will be just amazing!
This gives me hope for the future! Great idea, best of luck to you!
The future will be great if everyone start doing something connected to steem/sbd as from now! Thanks so much for the nice compliment!
100% upvote. well done, brave and humble! so had to upvote, also resteeming, we need more places accepting steem/sbd. smart idea. make sure you interview or take a photo of everyone that pays with steem so you can blog about it eh? :) cheers!
Oh yes my friend, I will surely take photos of everyone paying with steem and also all those I manage to bring on the platform!
Thanks so much for the wonderful words of encouragement!
oh and this is not quite what you want but will help -- http://www.steemitdesign.com - the three squiggles are open source and are free to use..
Oh this is a great link you shared mate! I will pick up some materials there! Thanks so much!
I am so happy for you, my friend @progressivechef. Congratulations!!!
My business(es) will definitely accept steem & SBDs too as one of the methods of payment. This platform is a blessing to us.
@maryfavour & @redfishpillar.
This is really the way forward we all Steemians should do! If we all start dealing with steem/sbd, the value will surely have a positive impact!
Thanks so much for your support my friend!
Cryptocurrency at it best in business transactions
Great move boss @progressivechef and congratulations on your new good-looking restaurant.
Deciding to promote steem and steemit in your new venture is a great move and I can see how it will help on-board many great minds to our platform.
Regarding the marketing and promotional materials, I think #promo-UK head by @starkerz and @stephenkendal have tons of useful steem and steemit promotional materials that they give to people ready to promote the platform.
I'm resteeming boss
Oh hello brother! What a great pleasure reading such a great comment!
Thanks so much for the wonderful words bro!
I will try get in contact with @starkerz and @stephenkendal for the promotional materials!

Thank you so much my friend! I really appreciate your support!
Thanks for your reply you're kind
Way to go friend. What a bold and smart move on your part! love the BBQ logo as well!
The Old Dog approves! I really believe in the future of Steem mate, and I think we all need to start dealing with these cryptos to make more people aware of same!
The BBQ logo is really cool!
wow this is a very good initiative, I love it, and its worth emulating, keep spreading the goodnews about steemit and keep doing your normal day activities and you will see the supernatural hand of GOD in your life and business.
and as for the steemit logo on your TOASTER, it's not a mistake dear but a divine arrangement, for when they is a will, they is a way.
good job dear.
Oh wow! What a lovely comment from you my friend! Reading such words makes me feel really motivated to keep going!
Thanks so much for the encouragement!
Wish you best of luck chef! I'll come to your restaurant if I have to chance to visit Mauritius :-)
Oh hi my friend! Hope you are doing fine! The doors will always be open for you!
Thanks so much!
congratulations! :D what a beautiful restaurant
Oh hello my friend! I hope you are doing fine and ready for the winter in your country!
Thanks so much for the compliment!
Congratulations on the new bistro! Looks great!
Oh this was the word I was looking for since I start to write this post! BISTRO! Thanks so much my friend, now I am sure to see you soon in my country!
After the fishing trip, we gonna grill the catch in the bistro!
I love that! Happy I had the word you needed! :D
Hats off to the Chef, you have just progressively started a venture that will add value to the Steem ecosystem. Weldone mate
What a lovely compliment! Thanks so much mate, I am so happy to be getting such amazing support from the whole community!
The ambiance there looks quite pleasing, and the fact that your grill supports cryptocurrencies makes everything even better. I realized the menu was in french, where are you from?
I wish you the best of luck with you new restaurant! Great post progressivechef!
I am from Mauritius my friend! A small island in the Indian Ocean! Creole is the main language and English the official language. But most people understand/talk French better. That's why you see the menu in French!
Thanks so much for the support and wish my friend!
That is amazing. Congratulations for the restaurant and the initiative to accept cryptos and include our beloved steem ❤
#steemyawards
Thanks so much my friend! I hope more and more people/business starts adopting this idea!
Please come to Ireland - the restaurant looks fab - all shiny and new! Best of luck in your new venture!
How I would love to be in Ireland! Lovely country full of amazing products! Thanks so much for the encouragement my friend!
Ah - many moons ago I worked in Singapore and my fried Harjit who worked with me was also from Mauritius. I never got to visit her home country - maybe one day :-)
This is an awesome initiative chef. good luck. Real world uses for steem will just continues to make it a stronger and more valuable coin
I just hope by this move of mine, many more people who already owns a business and is on steemit will adopt same idea. This will be just magical and will surely help growing the value of steem!
All the best chef, keep on rocking!
How cool! I wish you all the best and it looks great!

Oh yes when I saw that Steem logo on the toaster, I was really surprised!
It's great to see young like you joining and investing on the platform which is also very important as all these little things we are all doing will help raising that Steem value!
Hey @progressivechef you took a peak into my wallet....haha, just kidding I do that as well, yeah I just made my first Steem investment yesterday, I think I want to invest more, everything but I was advise to take it slow....oh well.
Anyways....do stop by my post, drop me a line, and you'll see that cooking is also one of my passions...haha :)

Would you have the facility to have a computer screen on the counter where people can browse steemit while they wait for their order?
Thanks so much mate!
Yes I have planned for ipads in the future, but for now I will be using my laptop!
Congratulations, it's a great idea you are into. I hope i can put up the same in our country but people are not yet aware of cryptocurrency here. Good luck bro... looking foreward for more news regarding your resto:)
In my country too people are not aware of cryptos, but we need to start to educate them at some point!
Thanks so much for the support my friend! I hope you do it too!
