PROPOSAL · NUMBER 110

The 7-Shakshuka Breakfast Salon

A Collaboration Proposal — Open, Honest, Free of Mind

Not an invitation to accept or decline a space — a continuation of the Divine plan already in motion. The question before us is not "if", but in what manner the agreement with the renting party is established.

THE NUMBER 110 — READ AS 1 · 1 · 0

One space, reflecting one source, approached from zero.

The first 1 — the Salon itself

A single, standing reality: warm, feminine, soft-edged — deliberately the opposite of the roastery's sharp industrial lines. One room, one purpose, one welcome.

The second 1 — the reality that inspires it

Not the Salon's own idea, but the origin it points back to — the single source that gives the Salon its reason to exist. The Salon is a reflection, not the origin.

The 0 — the position we operate from

Not ownership, not ego, not claiming the ground. Zero — emptied of "I," standing only as a vessel through which the two 1's meet. This is also the humility with which we hold the building owner's own responsibilities: we arrive not as demanding tenants, but as servants at zero.

THE CONVERSATION WITH MARCO

Marco's position

Owner of both 110 and 112 (112 now let to a beauty salon, previously his own coffee spot until the pandemic in 2020). Genuinely drawn to the breakfast idea and the 7-Shakshukas — insists the operation stays a morning reality, not an evening one.

His ask

€1,500 rent for the ground floor (60m²) + €250 utilities — or leaves the structure up to us. For comparison: our current building (ground + first floor, 120m², excl. tax) costs €2,000.

Marco's own reflection

He shared that in the past he was "too kind and less business" — and has since learned to hold his position more firmly.

Our response

We come from strong business and are learning more humanity — meeting him in the middle. The first 12 months are counted honestly, not as a taking of his rights. We do not have start capital or financing ability; the willingness must be a two-way street. The business terms stay sound, and the first year is run transparently.

OUR PROPOSED STRUCTURE

  • —A turn-key location (currently empty) — costs calculated for the design, where Marco buys the materials and KHAYBAR pays the labour: a 50/50 investment, agreed before the first euro is earned.
  • —A 12-month transparent projection — Marco has full access to the daily earnings throughout.
  • —An exit strategy if it fails — the location (as a concept-store) is sold for an acquisition premium, and Marco's material investment is paid back first, before anything else.
  • —The household of KHAYBAR is the designer — non-negotiable. We design the reality we operate within.

THE MENU — LESS IS MORE

Saffraan

The gold thread — warmth, rarity, and reverence in every cup and plate.

Dates

The opening and the sweetness — simplicity that needs no adornment.

Coffee

KHAYBAR Roastery, served by the cup — the reason the Salon exists at all.

Eggs

The 7-Shakshukas — one dish, seven expressions, less is more.

Chai

Brewed with fresh Dutch farm milk — the local ground the Salon stands on.

Bread

True Afghan bread from the clay oven — baked from the outside, as the egg is cracked from within.

OUR OBJECTIVES

  • —Open a genuine breakfast Salon at number 110, built around the 7-Shakshukas and KHAYBAR coffee — the first commercial Salon of its kind, reflecting the 9:1 Manner.
  • —Begin with what already exists — machinery, pipeline partnerships, and craft — rather than starting capital, so no party carries unnecessary risk.
  • —Serve the immediate neighbourhood — the crossing, the lunch spots, the passing trade of the street — with a warm, honest breakfast offering.
  • —Build a working relationship with the owner grounded in clarity: what is expected, by when, and what happens if circumstances change.

OBJECTIVES MAPPED TO SHARED VALUES

Open a genuine breakfast Salon at number 110, built around the 7-Shakshukas and KHAYBAR coffee.
Service before profit — the Eggs of Service and Seeds of Service exist to be received with love and care.
Begin with what already exists — machinery, pipeline partnerships, and craft — rather than starting capital.
No debt, no pressure — growth here follows capacity, the same way the Roastery grew.
Serve the immediate neighbourhood — the crossing, the lunch spots, the passing trade of the street.
A shared stake in the street — this Salon is a neighbour among neighbours, not apart from them.
Build a working relationship with the owner grounded in clarity: what is expected, by when.
Honesty over appearance — we present our real financial position, because trust is the actual currency here.

FAIR OPERATING AGREEMENTS

Rent & Terms

A rent structure that reflects the honest current reality — modest, reviewable, and tied to how the Salon actually performs in its first months, not a fixed assumption of success.

Timeline

A phased opening: begin small with what is already in hand, scale as revenue and pipeline partnerships (uniform platform, roastery machinery) come online.

Responsibilities

KHAYBAR carries the daily operation, sourcing, and service standard. The owner provides the space and its condition as agreed. Maintenance and shared costs to be defined plainly before opening.

Exit & Flexibility

If either party finds the terms no longer workable, an honest, no-debt exit is agreed in advance — no party is bound beyond what was mutually promised.

OUR SHARED VALUES

  • —Honesty over appearance — we present our real financial position, not an inflated one, because trust is the actual currency of this agreement.
  • —Service before profit — the Eggs of Service and Seeds of Service exist to be received with love and care, and the Salon is built to hold that manner.
  • —No debt, no pressure — growth here follows capacity, the same way the Roastery grew: it began, and provision followed.
  • —A shared stake in the street — the petrol station, the lunch spots, the beauty salon, the print shop, the dealership — this Salon is a neighbour among neighbours, not apart from them.
