Hello Dear Friends of Hive and Pinmapple Page;
We are together again today. I would like to share with you about our cafe, which we recently opened with great excitement. Dear friends; We are happy to have opened the third branch of our cafe in Istanbul. The cafe sector is a pleasant journey of moving forward slowly and surely. The name of our cafe is . Moreover, this name is a registered name. In other words, another business cannot be opened on this name in our country. Of course, there are sometimes small exceptions, albeit in small regions. For example, in a small town in Turkey, a conductor - provided that there is no accounting record - may leave the name to his own cafe. The important thing is that the official name is not the same. Anyway, instead of keeping you busy with different details, I would like to talk about the more important parts and especially about the opening.
The opening of our third branch in Arnavutköy district of Istanbul was quite crowded. It was a beautiful opening. Even the mayors of some districts attended the meeting. They made the opening speech. Usually opening speeches are made by those in official positions. Even if they are not involved in the business, they make speeches at every opening. I don't know how necessary and realistic this is. I think whoever has done the work has more say. There are many laborers, from blacksmiths to plumbers, landscapers to furniture makers. Most of the time they are not even considered necessary to be called. Although they do not have such an expectation, they are still opening a place that has been shaped and beautified on their labor. Of course, everyone who contributed to this work took part in our opening. The opening with the participation of everyone was quite beautiful. It will be an unnecessary detail, but the bureaucrats' labor is mostly to get a share of the work. For some reason, it is very difficult to prevent this situation that takes place in every country in the world.
First of all, after everyone gathered, the bureaucrats arrived and everyone went to the open area where the entrance to the cafe, restaurant and open wedding area was located for the ribbon cutting. After the opening speech and the necessary congratulations, the ribbon was cut and we all went to the cafeteria section. Even though the main purpose was the opening of the third branch of the cafeteria, the restaurant and the wedding area were also included in the opening. On the left side of the entrance is the two-story restaurant section. The small mobile decorations and the brightly lit areas I photographed mostly belonged to the restaurant section. On the right side of the entrance area is the cafeteria section. The café section is divided into three sections. At the first entrance is the main seating area. It consists of approximately 20 tables and some of the tables are larger and guests sit mostly in this area.
The second section was an area opened for playing the Okey game, which is a very common game in Turkey. There are approximately 20 tables in this area. Although the area is smaller than the first area, there is not much problem in terms of the number of tables as the size of the tables does not need to be very large for the okey game.
The third area is the open area at the back, which is prepared for sitting in hot weather. This area is made ready in the summer months and tidied up in cold weather.
The opening was quite nice. We thanked everyone who attended. Of course, the café's interest for me is that it is owned by my uncle. It had nothing to do with me personally. However, we usually all embrace the opening of a place in the family. We show all kinds of support.
The crowd dispersed after about three hours. The rest were some close people and the first customers. So we enjoyed a game of okey. You can see the area on the Pinmapple map.
I would like to thank @Hive and @Ecency for giving us the opportunity to share. But I would especially like to thank @Pinmapple for sharing beautiful places to visit and see.
