Too Small To Fail. The Hospitality Industry Organizes Relief Efforts
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
03/24/20 • 70 min
We’ve optimistically dubbed this season as RE-Opening soon, talking to chefs and restaurateurs impacted by the Coronavirus Crisis. We hope to get some advice, share some of the pain and find hope for the future. In the past week business owners were left with 2 losing prospects: close and lay everyone off or pivot to take out and delivery risking your health and that of your team. And 7 million people working in hospitality have found themselves newly unemployed. One bright spot is the coming together of the industry, each city has activated groups so their collective may be heard louder and non-profits like the LEE Initiative are providing aid.
On this episode:
Nate Adler, Founder and Owner of Gertie
Greg Baxtrom and Max Katzenberg, Partners/Founders of Olmsted and NY Hospitality Coalition
Camilla Marcus, Founder and Owner, Westbourne, ROAR

But First... You need a Liquor License
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
01/28/20 • 50 min
This season we are mixing it up and interviewing chefs and restaurateurs as they actively open a restaurant. We’ll be chatting before and after a milestone moment to hear the preparation and later of course get the skinny on how it all went to down.
So you have your restaurant concept and are ready to hit the ground running, but where do you start? Well if your business plan includes selling alcohol you may need to start by applying for a liquor license. In fact past guest liquor attorney Robert Bookman recommended starting the process as soon as you are serious about a space and maybe even before you sign the lease.
Today’s Guests are Elena Yamamoto and Yael Peet, Co-Chefs of the forthcoming restaurant Fury’s on Christopher St in NYC’s West Village.. Fury's is a Kappo-style Japanese restaurant planning to open in the Summer of 2020. We first chatted with Elena & Yael on January 14th as they were beginning the liquor license process.

The Journey from Chef to Owner with Angie Mar
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
09/25/19 • 45 min
Most of the guests on the show work for various chefs and restaurateurs before striking out on their own. But our guest today doesn't do things like most people. Angie Mar took the helm of the storied Beatrice Inn and then negotiated to purchase it from the owners a few years later. Angie is a lover of all things meat. She was a Food & Wine BNW in 2017, the year after she purchased the Beatrice Inn, which is still one of the hardest reservations to get in NYC.

Real talk about Money and Capturing Investment
Opening Soon Presents: "The Build"
09/10/19 • 58 min
Let's talk about money honey. One of the most requested topics following last season was to talk more about financing options for new restaurateurs. Restaurants have notoriously slim margins and chefs aren’t known to have huge salaries. So how do you fund your project and what are potential investors looking for in your business plan?
Our guest today is Camilla Marcus, Founder and Owner/Operator of West-Bourne, an accidentally vegetarian and decidedly mindful eatery in SoHo with a triple bottom line mission. Before opening West~Bourne, Camilla was the Director of Business Development at USHG, and worked in real-estate investing at Colony Capital and CM Group. Camilla is also an active Angel Investor and a co-founder of TechTable Summit.
