First Bowl [Ship Planning Video]

[ricebird]

[Kotori planned on this being a text post. Keyword being planned, because the tortoiseshell cat on her shoulder decided to bat at the light box and press the "live video" button.]

Ah! Slowburn-chan, no--!

[Oh. They're live. Lovely. Not how she wanted this to go, and her face is RED on camera, but no choice but to roll with it.]

Ahaha, um... hi, everyone. So um... I meant to text this, but... I guess I have a few questions?

So someone brought up the idea of a restaurant ship, one that'd be open to both sides and serve food from our worlds as well as recipes from this one, and... I kind of like that?

B-but I'm not that good a cook yet, let alone able to run a restaurant! So... anyone interested in being a head chef? And ideas for names? And any recipes you'd like included? Sorry I know this is a lot... and thank you...

[And this is why she wanted this to be a text.]

[The "energetic" Zhao sees this video and is immediately intrigued.]

I have been the head chef of a large restaurant before. I was actually thinking of running my own place once I got a permit and enough funds together.

[ricebird]

Oh that's great! Do-- uh... Moon Supreme-sama recommended you too.

[THERE, request fulfilled.]

What kind of restaurant was it?

[seemagicshit]

Oh he did, did he? That's decent of him.

I ran a large Chinese restaurant. That's most of what I know how to cook, but I can learn a lot more given enough time and ingredients.

[He was going to try to just find a decent spot, but a whole ship would certainly be an upgrade.]

Oh, that's perfect!

[And she means it now. He has prior experience, is willing to expand his repertoire, and nervous as it made her in the middle of a combat zone, being relaxed and able to think fast under pressure is important for meal rushes.]

I think we have a good list of recipes to start with, although a couple I'll need to learn myself so I can show you. Chinese dishes included too!

[Wait, hold on, getting ahead of herself.]

Ahaha... that is, if you want to, Zhao-san.

[seemagicshit]

You have a decent idea and I'm not saying no to running everything, but how exactly would a whole ass restaurant boat work?

[ricebird]

That's... kind of what we're trying to figure out. We have a recipe list at least, and you're definitely qualified to be head chef if you want. But we'd also need people to help cook, serve, clean and keep inventory, book-keep, basically anything that a restaurant on land would need. And sailing experience too.

Back home my mom did pretty much everything herself since our restaurant is pretty small, but how many people we need will depend on our customers, and how many qualified people we can find.
