Not actually building the cafe, restaurant, or bistro, but just decorating them? Does this require a degree of some kind? I tried looking it up, but without any luck. Thanks for your help!! 
I was in interior design for a year and tbh, in this economy its horrid!!! There is no degree in just interior decorating that I know of but there is one in interior design. I actually left the art institute of seattle because I hated it and all of the projects wasn’t like I thought it would be. You have to hand draft most of the floor plans and it take up to 6 hours a night working on one simple floor plan. I thought it was just easy stuff like decorating rooms and matching colors, wow, I was wrong!
The people that I did meet that got a interior design degree at the school turned out working for furniture stores and not actually working as interior designers. It must be hard finding jobs a a interior designer these days if most of the recent graduates are working in furniture stores.
I’ve heard this cost a lot to have professionally done for a cafe/restaurant but was hoping to find a specific figure. Thanks!
I can’t give figures for where ever in the world you are, but many can be quite cheap if they are using run of the mill recipes with constant recipes, but when it is in individual recipes they can run into hundreds.
Do the Cactus Club Cafe restaurants (Western Canada) do tip sharing? That is, do the waitresses give a certain percentage of their tips to the hostesses?
Thanks.
According to some of my friends working at Cactus Club Café, it seems that they do not need to share tips with hostesses, other staff or cooks. Sometimes, they can get $200-$300 on a good night, plus tips and wages. It’s a sweet place to work at.
What a strange question. It has been custom in Britain (as in other European countries) for hundreds of years to have a side salad garnish with a meal. Do you not have any tomatoes or lettuce on the side when having a meal at home?
I’m doing a paper about cafe’s and restaurants in 19th century Russia.Could you please help me with some links or internet resources regarding this subject?
Thanks a lot!
The first restaurant – "Slavyanskiy Bazar" (Moscow). The restaurant opened here in the 19th century. One of the most famous in Moscow. It burned down in 1993, the fire destroyed all the furnishings and the interiors and the courtyard. ( http://wikimapia.org/1540179/Former-restaurant-Slavyanskiy-Bazar )

I’ve been craving a good Mexican salad with pork barbecoa, rice, beans (not refried), a homemade soft tortilla, and that yummy creamy tomatilla dressing. Yummm!
I’ve never been to Cafe Rio, but a quick look at their website makes it look as if they might be something like Chuy’s. Check them out and see what you think.
Any ideas?
I’ve never been to Banana Cafe, but I have eaten at Lauriol, and I have to say that Lauriol Plaza is overcrowded, a bit overpriced and not really that good. It seems to be a great place to get over your hangover, but not much more.
Where people go and play their music?
Anything like that?
I always read about them in books, and it seems so cool, I totally want to go to one!
Blue Chair Cafe often has live music, you sometimes need to pay cover though. I’ve heard that Wild Earth does too and Remedy used to… Not sure if they still do.
Landry’s Restaurants owns Rainforest Cafe, Aquarium restaurant, Bubba Gump and some others. I was looking for similar restaurants anywhere in the U.S.
well, I saw a place in Downtown Disney in Orlando, Florida… it was something like Dino-land, But I’m not sure if it was part of Landry’s Restaurants or not…
Here in SCV, we are extremely lucky to have one of the best restaurants in Southern California, MARU, it has been like our local’s little secret since they opened. http://www.maruvalencia.com/.
I have been there multiple times since their opening about 8 years ago. This is a place that just keeps getting better and better. Maru serves French, Japanese, and modern California cuisine. Chef Jason Parks truly loves what he does.
It is true that we have mainly chain restaurants here, and we have other ‘non’ chain restaurants, but I have to really think what else I can recommend, since nothing will compare to the experience at Maru. Check their reviews on yelp. I also found sometime ago a blog with an article about Maru, with great photos: http://foodieuniverse.blogspot.com/20…
I highly recommend you to order from their Market Menu.
If your friend likes sushi, they serve excellent sushi, all prepared with the highest quality ingredients. Sushi Chef Luis is a master.
Every Tuesday they have a Prix Fixe Dinner Special, from 5:30pm-7:00pm for $25.95.
DONT skip dessert, my favorite is their version of Strawberry Shortcake, but I have tried all of their desserts and all are excellent in taste, ingredients, and presentation.
Enjoy, and if you decide to go to Maru, please let us know about your experience.
