#Trailblaz3rsTeamMeeting & #Brunch @ #Morgans Full video: https://lnkd.in/eW4-b-XG Our team, the TrailBlaz3ers, is partnering with Camillus House to offer 145 formerly homeless families greater health, stability, and independence. We are creating a community garden at Camillus House’s Verde Gardens permanent supportive housing facility located in Homestead. Through our efforts, we are looking to achieve the following: 1. Build and sustain a nutritious, long lasting, community garden for present and future families who live at Verde Gardens. It will grow vegetables and herbs chosen by the residents, encourage healthy eating, serve as a therapeutic area, and give ownership to the families by involving them in its creation and continuation. 2. Educate families on how to maintain a garden and replicate it on their own. We will create an educational component that enhances their knowledge on healthy eating and cooking. 3. Engage the local community through working with local colleges, at risk youth, and the families that currently live at the Camillus House. These efforts will require fundraising. Our goal is $25,000. We are asking those who are willing to donate the following items in kind: ● Aluminum garden beds (8 needed) 65 x 37 x 27.5 in ● 64 cubic feet of composted soil/mulch ● Gardening materials: gloves, handheld shovels, trowel, rakes, weeder ● Seedlings: Green, Yellow, and Red Bell Peppers, Collard Greens, Sweet potatoes, Cubanelle peppers, Onions ( Green), Carrots, Basil, Parsley, Cilantro, Large Cherry Tomato, Roma VF Tomato, Spinach, Celery ● Metal shed ● 4 shade covering sails / pergola ● Wood materials to build for the raising beds We are also seeking monetary donations at https://lnkd.in/epA5GqPy, or a check can be made to the South Florida Progress Foundation, with Team #3 in the memo line.

How Sam leveraged Dishef to unlock fresh and lucrative revenue streams for his established commercial kitchen space. A case study. In July 2022, Sam Johnson, a kitchen owner in Charlotte, connected with Dishefs. Sam's kitchen known as Johnson's SmokeHouse, was an almost brand new and underutilized asset, spanning 10,000 square feet, located in the heart of Charlotte. Initially hesitant, Sam eventually decided to explore the platform's potential. His kitchen listing garnered immediate interest from operators, drawn to the excellent pictures and prime location. He received numerous requests to see the place and discuss potential collaborations. Recognizing the opportunity, he decided to divide the kitchen space to accommodate multiple food makers. Within the next six months, Sam successfully onboarded three clients into his kitchen through the Dishefs platform. He stated, “Dishefs bought us some breathing space. With catering down, the money we received from these operators alleviated the financial pressure.” Sam's initial fears about using the platform were quickly dispelled. He found that Dishefs allowed him to maintain control over the conversation, enabling him to set his own terms and reject any deal that didn't align with his business. He said, “Nothing was forced on us, and that was a relief.” One of the key advantages Sam appreciated was the ease with which he could distil conversations into actual deal points, making negotiations straightforward. He also valued the flexibility of short-term deals, enabling him to evaluate working with different food makers before committing to a long-term partnership. Dishefs' customer service proved to be exceptional, supporting Sam throughout the process. He believed that the platform's focus on good people led to positive negotiations and smooth interactions. By utilizing Dishefs' collaborative technology, Sam managed to unlock new revenue streams for his existing kitchen space without making any physical improvements or incurring broker's fees. This represented a paradigm shift in the restaurant rental industry, facilitating connections and partnerships. Despite initial concerns about potential conflicts or mismanagement, Sam found that all the food makers using his kitchen were highly professional and respectful of the space and equipment. They all adhered to the agreements in good spirits, and any necessary flexibility from Sam's end was met with understanding and positivity. In conclusion, Dishefs provided a game-changing solution for kitchen owners like Sam, enabling them to maximize their unused assets and connect with food makers seamlessly and productively. This collaborative platform opened up new possibilities and revenue streams without needing any upfront investment or traditional brokerages, making it a valuable asset in the modern culinary landscape.

We love this time of year - when the early birds start putting up their Christmas lights and the supermarket shelves are stuffed with festive goodies. If you're already feeling super Christmassy, the Chatsworth House Christmas Market is well worth a visit. It is open every day with 150 wonderful stalls, including Halfpenny Green Wine Estate, Freda's Peanut Butter, and Bexton Cheese - along with some gorgeous cockle-warming hot food and drink stalls (mulled wine and a hot pork roll - yes please!)

Have you eaten at this BBQ restaurant yet? It's one of the highest rated in New York! #LuxuryHome #HouseDesign #HomeCrush #RealtorChaperone #KellerWilliamsLegendary #NewYork #RealEstate #NewHome #HouseHunting #HomesForSale #Properties #EmptyNest #JustListed #Instagood #SoldOnYou#Blog

🔥🍖 Hitting the news this week was details of the new BBQ restaurant, Orleans Smokehouse, which Mitchells & Butlers PLC will be opening in Solihull on 19 February. What makes this launch even more fascinating is the fact that just one week later, Hickorys Smokehouse will be opening a new site in Earlswood, just 2.5 miles away from the inaugural Orleans Smokehouse site. 🏠👀 It’s easy to understand why M&B are keen to enter the smokehouse market. Average Transaction Values at Hickory’s are c.50% higher than those achieved at Harvester, and whilst the average visit frequency for Orleans Smokehouse may end up being slightly lower than the site achieved as a Harvester, the Average Customer Value per year should be significantly higher. We’ve seen time and again that consumers are prepared to pay for great experiences, and Hickory’s is a brand which absolutely delivers when it comes to “Value for Experience.” 💷🌟 A recent visit to Hickory’s Smokehouse in Derby (pictured) was one of my hospitality highlights of 2023 – incredible food, brilliant atmosphere and one of the best family-friendly hospitality environments we’ve experienced. It's easy to see why Hickory's is such a destination venue, and my 4-year-old daughter absolutely loved the fact that there was popcorn on arrival, a cinema room to keep her entertained while we waited for food and a great outdoor play area as well! 🎥🍿👨👩👧👦 It will be fascinating to see how these two new sites perform. M&B are very much the follower here, with Hickory’s achieving great success as a brand since its launch nearly 15 years ago. Having the new kid on the block and the established operator both opening in the same local market will make for some interesting analysis….something that I’ll be taking a look at using the Site Intel Pro online platform from Hospitality Data Insights (HDI) Feel free to get in touch if you’d like to understand more about the types of analysis that we can do looking at individual local markets and/or sites in-detail. 📊🔍 #HospitalityData #hospitalitysolutions #casualdining #ukhospitality 🍔🥩
