The plan is first and foremost to make the Modern Flavor pay for ruining the night for you three, so taking away as many customers as possible is the top priority. You’re going to sink them! And what’s a better way to destroy a place’s reputation than a bunch of bad reviews being broadcasted? You’re going to ask your new clients why they decided to ditch their reservation to eat here!
It works like a charm! The middle aged couple had no qualms about airing their grievances, especially because it’s not the first time something like this happened. They complained about how the Modern Flavor doesn’t treat its own regulars well even if the manager does what he can to accommodate, how they disregarded their roots, and they don’t think about the locals. The few people who were hesitant about entering the restaurant ended up not choosing to get in.
Though, the couple is loud and they might’ve scared potential customers, well, until another disappointed customer leaving the Modern Flavor joined their bickering. Then another one joined… And another one… It kept going until all the space around the cart was filled to the brim.
Thankfully, one of your clients is a pond fisherman that sells his merchandise on his own stand at the biweekly Grocery Fair (every Tuesday and Thursday at the Shopping District), who decided to aid the Nautical Nariko by expanding it! He installed a tent, and put down some plastic tables and chairs for future clients. The thing has light bulbs! Pretty sweet! He said he always sides with the underdogs, and he’s disappointed with what the Modern Flavor did to his fish. You weren’t planning on taking the business to the next level, but here you are. Though, your ‘regulars’ preferred eating on the cart, all cramped…
This created a dozen problems with more clients showing up! The dishes are piling up, the orders are stacking, and addressing each new customer is taking its time. It’s a logistical nightmare. With the workload embiggening, you proposed to pouch some of the employees from your rival place.
“Poach them? They aren’t going to come.” Crossbill is the harbinger of bad news!
“Why not?” You ask as you make your magic, one that would make Bruna proud!
“T-This place isn’t CotF certified, you get no credits for working here.” Crossbill finds having to explain this to you a lil’ bit perplexing. “Why else would anyone enslave themselves in that dump otherwise?”
“There’s a clause that any business owned by members of the program is automatically considered government certified and eligible for credits. They never intended for this part of the law to be applied as it’s virtually impossible for one of us to own any type of property, but it was written down to feign goodwill.” Chio points out as she cleans the dishes as fast as she can. “It was a pipe dream of mine to create my own by selling my paintings and employing my sisters.”
