Same street as the Roastery — 7-Shakshuka Breakfast Salon
THE SITUATION, AS IT STANDS
—The owner of number 110 has invited an open, honest proposal — clear agreements, clear objectives, free of hidden intention.
—Current income: rental of the apartment via platforms — covering rent plus a small investment surplus. No startkapital exists.
—Assets in hand: access to machinery, two proposals in the pipeline, and a uniform clothing platform for hotel staff about to launch.
—The Roastery itself was not built because capital was present — it began, and capital followed. The second year has already begun the same way.
—The location: opposite a petrol station, between two Asian lunch restaurants, a beauty salon and a print shop, facing a Peugeot dealership, at the kruiswegovergang.
ON CAPITAL & DEBT
If we hold the intention to never enter debt, what is the smallest, truest first step we can take at 110 — one that costs nothing we do not already have?
What can the machinery, the two pipeline proposals, and the uniform platform actually contribute to this Salon before a single euro of new capital is needed?
Is the owner's invitation itself a form of rizq — a door opened without our asking for capital — and are we prepared to answer it in the same manner it was given, openly and without inflation?
ON THE LOCATION
A petrol station, two lunch restaurants, a beauty salon, a print shop, a car dealership, a crossing — what does this location actually offer in footfall and rhythm, honestly assessed, without romance or fear?
Who passes this specific corner at breakfast hour, and do they need what Eggs of Service and the 7-Shakshukas offer?
Does this location require KHAYBAR to explain itself more, or less, than the Roastery does — and are we prepared for that difference?
ON THE MANNER (RECEPTION WITH LOVE)
Do we believe the Salon — the Eggs of Service, the Seeds of Service, the feminine reality of KHAYBAR — will be received with love because of what it is, not because of what it costs or how it is marketed?
Who is the first true Ambassador of Love who buys the seeds for cups here — have we already met them, or are we still waiting to recognise them?
What in our own conduct, pricing, and presentation would have to stay exactly as honest as the Roastery for this Salon to carry the same trust?
ON THE PROPOSAL ITSELF
What are the clear agreements and objectives the owner is asking for — rent structure, timeline, responsibilities — stated plainly, without over-promising what capital cannot yet support?
What is the honest timeline: what opens with what we have now, and what waits until the pipeline proposals or uniform platform bear fruit?
If the owner says no, or asks for terms we cannot meet without debt, are we at peace releasing this door and trusting another will open?
