2013 is for expansion

6 years of try outs and errors, systems are set. The city of Mountain view blessed us with the authorization to have an outside patio which will allow us to increase the seating capacity.
I believe that it will allow me to remove the curse that our location has had (4 restaurants in 5 years), we sincerely hope that it will allow that side of the famous castro street to expand! Join our 6000+ facebook fans at www.facebook.com/MoroccosMV to stay tuned!

Renewing your policies!

That time of the year has come again where your insurances are up for renewal and i am pretty ticked off how i always have to go over the shopping process over and over again to discover that whoever earned my business last year is still trying to get more than average market rates. I really do not mind people making a living, but please, be descent and do not insult the intelligence of your clients! Adding to that an agent that will be upset with rounds of "I do not have time for that" will lead to no repeat business. Sounds fair to me!
Happy dining!
Come see us for fairness and quality! I am pretty excited about our live guitar music night tonight starting 7PM! www.MoroccosRestaurant.com

Lady handing flowers to a man in a restaurant

A little 4 year old little girl with her parents gave me a little orange flower and said that the food she had a Moroccos Restaurant is the most delicious food she ever had in her life and that she thought that the orange colored flower will match our restaurant colors. cute!!

Introducing a hybrid of New world / Old world VIP treatment

Some people just earn more money than others. Some people have the concentrated amount of earning power that 100s of people do have all together. Some people seek a special touch when they go out...especially when they are the ones that have chosen the dining destination...
Think about it, personally, i am more concerned about my guests experience that my own as i am already sold on the establishment...
The challenge that many of my VIPS when going out to celebrate the conclusion of a deal closed, either a massive catering, a wedding or just because they want to share with me their latest closest acquired clientele face the oh so common vip treatment that is just not personalized and nameless.
I introduced an amazing vip program, did 4 events using it with 2 vip guests that did it a second time within  1 month of doing one. one called it the: Close the deal program, the other guest called it The Celebrity program...If your guests are worth more than $300 to you...call me, i would love to chat and explain on why they named it so. www.MoroccosRestaurant.com

Opening a 2nd location in Mountain View

Two years ago, a guest said the food is so delicious that we may need to open a second location so that he doesn't have to drive miles to get his weekly fix of tagines, couscous and briwatts...The idea then merged that opening a second location may be an organic and natural next step...right? Well, between landlords with unreasonable demands for unreasonable security deposits and unreasonable out of the market rents, between some real estate agents that need to make a minimum commission versus helping their landlord clients to get secure tenants that will provide peace of mind, between people with simply more money to put down, between "angel" investors that want to own 98% of your operation for a 10% contribution (Devil may have been a better term than angel investors)...We were lucky after 2 years of market research to find pretty much another Morocco's Restaurant in the cute city of Mountain view!!
Why "another"? The location is remote from the main traffic, in a doomed building....Just as Morocco's San Jose, every restaurant that has been in the Mountain View location failed...Bring on the challenge, since i can not afford the high traffic areas, i am going to count on our dear reviewers and hitting the pavement to let people know where we are...Great way to lose weight i guarantee it, sleep less, work more, walk more and voila my recipe for loosing weight....If by any chance you want to join this speedy path to being healthy while discovering the lovely city of Mountain view...give me a ring, we will do it together...just kidding....
We will be located in Castro Street, a street literally packed with restaurants, competition is going to be fierce but i have two allies called 150 year old recipe, a genuine care for my guests and a guy by the name of Chef Jay (Who turns out to be my brother and my best friend) who is a better duplicate of the Duracell Rabbit that keeps on going and going...This is an exciting time and pretty nerve racking...this is literally 3 years of cumulative mistakes, system implementations, training, long hours that we are to put together to full effect before our grand opening date of July the 1st...
This should be good for this first post about the second location...I want to write next about what should we expect from friends, regulars, and facebook fans from Morocco's San Jose to support Mountain View...Stay tuned!!
