The Unlikely New Real-Estate Darling: Restaurants The WSJ wrote a great article detailing the current state of restaurant real estate. See summary below: Total restaurant sales have never been higher. They are on track to top $1.1 trillion this year, a 5.4% increase from 2023’s record-high level, according to the National Restaurant Association, an industry group. Historically, restaurants have been perceived as risky tenants; however, with changing consumer spending habits caused by rising wages, low unemployment, and the emergence of “foodie culture,” food service leases have become a powerful force in the retail real-estate sector. In the past year, more than 19% of retail leases were allocated to food services, marking the highest proportion for any category since 2007. Further, food tenants have been favorable for landlords due to the influx of creditworthy chains and the proven track record of these establishments in boosting foot traffic to nearby businesses. https://lnkd.in/e_vB7cfu ___________________________________________________________________________ If interested in purchasing a restaurant I am currently selling a turn-key restaurant opportunity on W Atlantic Ave in Delray Beach.

From concept to masterpiece! Whether it's for a cozy local shop or a fancy five-star restaurant, creating a masterpiece is something to be proud of

This article set me off…. It's been a year since I was gainfully employed. I’ve applied to 100s of positions. I’ve been told I’m “over-qualified.” I’ve learned that means I'm too old.   This article made me feel like the recruiters are right: I’ve been around too long. Not only does this come from NYMag (where I worked over 20 years ago) but it includes a restaurant where I served tables before that.   Then, after reading it, I was reminded how awesome I’ve been at my jobs: FFS, David Bowie once told me “You’re magical, T Sahara.” ❤️   So, I’m sharing a trip down memory lane. Cause the magic is still there, no matter what anyone says. Please revisit your magic! A LinkedIn profile doesn't say enough...   Indochine, 1998-2002: David Bowie & Iman dined on Sunday nights. Their regular server switched shifts, so I was assigned to them. I was SO NERVOUS. I introduced myself & they were fascinated by my name. We bantered for 20 mins. At one point, their tiny toddler careened from the table. I grabbed her & took their order while cradling her on my hip – also while shielding them from other patrons wanting autographs. After that, they wouldn't come in unless I was working. Hello, Customer Service Queen!   NYMag.com, 2000-2008: I started writing restaurant & bar reviews prior to launch, then jettisoned into content development. We created digital features & brands (Vulture, Grub Street, The Cut) that became industry apexes – and still are. I was integral in instituting products that were replicated around the globe. This was my most valuable experience working cross-functionally w/incredible departmental talents. My boss said I was “magic”: I could execute a crazy amount of content within impossible deadlines. The magic? Killer project management skills.    AMC Networks, 2009-2024: I’ve done everything from writing marketing copy to product ownership of an enterprise-level Salesforce integration. Oh, and have you ever heard of The Walking Dead’s Carol’s Cookies? It’s the internet's most-shared recipe ever, even to this day. I came up w/that: spent days in my kitchen mixing stuff that could be used during a zombie apocalypse. And I don’t cook or bake. That shows my devotion to executing a social campaign! 🤣 I also created a B2B website (from concept to launch) that was honored w/a Webby Award. And there was this time I produced 11 virtual Comic-Con panels within a couple of weeks during COVID. 😳 Point is: I’m the go-to for creating anything clutch. (Yeah, I’m dating myself w/“clutch” but don’t care. I get sh*t done.)   I'm ready to tackle another day of job hunting. While I’m prepared to not get responses, I know my past work has reached millions. And I still want to create magic! I think about 85% of my LinkedIn network has collaborated w/me in the past. You rock and thank you! If you'd like to partner again, please reach out & I’m on it! **POOF! MAGIC! DONE!** (Just don't ask me to wait tables. My knees are shot, and my bunions are f*cked.)
