ISO The Best Restaurant Manager Ever!

Please contact Neil Takemoto at heyneil at cooltownstudios dot com about the position. Contact sharon at wildsuccess dot us to join the Elements beta community.

General manager for a green restaurant (14th and Q Streets NW, Washington DC) The restaurant will be about one third raw, one third vegan, one third vegetarian.

We're opening a new green vegetarian restaurant in Washington DC, financed by a successful local entrepreneur, though without extensive restaurant experience (thus this posting). It's called Elements, and you can visit its collaborative groupsite here: http://elements.collectivex.com/. It has a 'beta community:' (http://www.cooltownstudios.com/mt/archives/000340.html) of 350 (and growing) passionate, collaborative and dedicated future customers who will do what it takes to make this restaurant a people, planet, profit success. You can read about it in the Washington Business Journal (http://www.collectivex.com/uploads/files/10688/washingtonbizjournal.jpg). The idea is that in order to compete with the chains who have an established national advertising-grown customer base from opening day, Elements will have an established 'crowdsourced' community customer based from opening day.

This is a paid position, but we are welcome to partners, time-for-equity and investors as well. Elements will never become a chain in order to retain its authenticity and think local first commitment, but you will also have the opportunity to replicate the crowdsourcing model to establish other entirely unique 3BL crowdsourced restaurants. The ideal situation for the paid position is someone currently at a full-time job that would like input on the architecture and interior design process now and be ready to transition once the restaurant begins hiring staff and opens early next spring. We have a triple-bottom-line (3BL) - economic, social, environmental focus, like White Dog Cafe: http://www.whitedogcafe.com/ for instance. Below is the Elements manifesto, crafted by the beta community:

What is Elements?

We are Elements. At the heart of the Elements experience is community: a "third place" between home and work for people of all ages, preferences and backgrounds to meet and nourish themselves, the people around them, and the planet. Our growing Elements family embraces authenticity, diversity, conscious living, and fun. This family has crowdsourced Elements from day one, and our continued participation will ensure it stays fresh and progressive. As Elements evolves, we are guided by a few simple ideas:

We encourage balance in life. All of life is interconnected, thus our actions can have a great impact. We balance our needs-health, enjoyment, vitality-with the needs of others and the Earth. As an independent local business, Elements endorses the triple bottom line: we measure success in not only economic, but environmental and social terms as well. We support balance in our community by serving organic vegetarian food grown our own garden in a building that exceeds environmental standards. We support balance globally by cutting our waste, composting, and recycling, and by neutralizing our carbon output with offsets and green energy.

We nurture growth in our community. As important to our lives as the four elements is an essential fifth: people. Look around you; friends, neighbors, and visitors meet here to share ideas, spark new friendships, and renew old ones. We nourish the local economy by partnering with local growers, vintners, brewers, artists, musicians, and community groups. We offer classes and lectures to foster exploration and discovery, and sponsor events to nurture sharing and collaboration.

We are dedicated to stimulating all five senses. Taste our fresh seasonal dishes. Smell our organic fair-trade coffee. Hear talented musicians perform every day. See the work of area artists. Feel the afternoon sun. Hug a friend. Be alive.

Hi everybody. I do not have a raw food business yet. I just finished reading part of a book that mentioned that leading a purposeful life is part of overall health. So while I am new to raw foods, I would be willing to consider partnering with someone who had a great raw business idea and needed a little help and perhaps (a little) capital. I would rather be inspired by my business, rather than being in constant conflict (practicing law). I see a post below about the book The Live Food Factor, and that is what convinced me to go raw - it is excellent.

A lot of people are now buying my RAW STAR Ceramic Knives at a special wholesale discount from me and reselling them on their website, to family, friends, to knife shops, stores, health food stores and are making a good side income! Please e-mail me directly if you would like to try this everyone doing it is making great income while promoting RAW. People love RAW STAR ceramic Knives because of the high quality, ECO design but the price is the best since most black ceramic knives cost $200 to $300 each mine are only $25 for the 4", $50 for the 5", $60 for the 6", $70 for the 7" and $80 for the 8". I have people all around the USA and World doing it so join my RAW STAR TEAM by e-mailing me at rawbryan@hotmail.com I will train you and teach you how to get sales, it is VERY EASY AND FUN does not take much time or energy at all and because of my prices it sells itself often times people buy one then come back to buy more as gifts for family and friends and a complete set for themselves. And it actually keeps your food fresher longer so it saves people money, their health and the environment too since mine is the ONLY eco one available and the ONLY one with Bamboo and 8" available too. Also Knives and Ceramic Knives is a MASS APPEAL item every home, kitchen, chef has one and uses it everyday it is a very useful, practical item that will help provide you with a good RAW INCOME!

RAW STAR Ceramic Knives are the best price, quality, performance in the World I am doing this because I truly believe everyone should have at least one in every kitchen. They literally keep your RAW food and all foods fresher longer here is a video demonstrating this:

And so it saves you money, saves your health(no more metal, metal ions, heavy metals, "nickel" a toxin carcinogen in every metal and stainless steel knife in your food! They find metal in the brains of people who get or have Alzheimers Disease now you can eliminate and prevent that!) and because mine is the ONLY ECO ceramic knife in the world you also actually save the Environment and World too!



Raw Organic Saving the Planet with you,

Raw Chef Bryan Au
