Introduction
My name is XXXXX and I would like to present to you the idea of starting a distinguished restaurant concept called XXXXX cuisine. XXXXX will bring the taste of true Lebanese food into the core of the Phoenix metro area.
XXXXX is designed to create a new cultural atmosphere. A true fashionable Lebanese restaurant, XXXX will be serving fresh Lebanese items all made on the premises from scratch. In addition, this true Lebanese ethnic restaurant will present a healthful fare with a menu that will be creative, carefully designed, and attractive. The ingredients will be interchangeable and foods will come from local and regional suppliers. The emphasis on healthy eating and the preference for organically grown produce will be clearly displayed to the customers and to stakeholders. The menu will revolve around true Lebanese cuisine intertwined with a fine selection of wine, soft and alcoholic beverages.
