Hey guys! Can you just signal boost that Kin Cuisine has changed the URL to feed-the-inner-beast? Also that it has been password protected and anyone who's interested can ask me for the password! Thanks! <3Lyssa

I absolutely will, Lyssa. I think your restaurant is a fantastic idea, and I think our followers will be highly interested in it.

It was only a matter of time.

You'd segregate everyone at your restaurant? Aww, I am an unhappy dragon who can't be with my herbivorous friends :(

hehe! You should talk to kincuisine! She's the one making the restaurant!

Everyone would have their own way of doing things. I do like the sound of the whole 'segregation' thing because I'm not partial to meat, and it'd be nice to have an herbivore section, like a non-smoking section! But I definitely agree that something like that shouldn't be mandatory. It would make it hard to go in a group! 

Thus, I think, like smoking and non-smoking sections, you should have the option to sit where you choose. So, not 'segregation', but rather just giving herbivores and herbivore-leaning omnivores the option to eat in a meat-free environment. I had actually never even thought about that before in reference to kincuisine!

Anyway, now I'm just rambling...

Do it! I check your tags all the time to see what all types I'd have to cater to XD it's a loooong list haha! But yes, we should link up and feed them!!

Gee that kin themed restaurant idea sounds alot like... mine.

There IS a kin restaurant blog, isn't there? I should talk to Fox about linking back to it! It'd be so awesome if we could give you recipe ideas for this place. - Wolf

Is it odd that I can see the both of you working in a kin-themed restaurant, serving up these particular dishes?

That would be AWESOME! Oh my god I can see it now. Fox would own the place - Fox is the genius behind this blog you see - and I'd be like a greeter or something. We'd have different dining areas for different general kintypes. Carnivores and herbivores, different mediakin spots. Oh, look at me forking out. Either way, I love this idea. Kinda made my night. Thanks, Grim! - Wolf

I would seriously appreciate it if you quit shitting all over my dream to open this restaurant. I know it's going to take some serious time, money, and effort to get going, and I don't need people like you telling me it isn't going to work. I get that you aren't interested, but throwing things I already know about and am preparing for is just being a flat out dick head. So please stop.

I posted this before, but I think maybe it's a quote you would benefit from seeing: "A dream is just a dream.  A goal is a dream with a plan and a deadline." -Harvey MacKayIt's great that you have a dream, but it's one that there is literally no way of achieving in Denver, CO.  There is not a big enough customer base of otherkin in that city to support a kin-themed restaurant.  And there's no reason non-kin would really pick a kin-themed restaurant over any other restaurant.  Even in cities with much larger otherkin populations, you'd be very hard pressed to get enough customers to support a business like that.  Because we eat at regular restaurants, and really have no need or desire - as a community - for an otherkin themed restaurant.  

If you're genuinely serious about this, you should know (or your business classes will eventually teach you) that you have to measure the interest in an idea within your target audience.  So far, you have a handful of people here on tumblr who are interested.  You have another handful here, and on werelist, telling you why it's a bad idea.  And you have the vast majority of the otherkin community on lists, forums, LJ/DW communities, IRC, etc who you haven't presented it to yet.  Get out there, talk to people, and find out how much real interest there is in this idea.  I'm guessing that you'll have less than 100 people interested, total.  And most of them not anywhere near Denver.  Even if they travel to eat at it, they're never going to be regulars.

I'm telling you this based on 13 years experience in the otherkin community.  I'm telling you this to try to help prevent you from going into massive debt trying to start a business that will, as it's been presented, absolutely 100% fail.  I'm telling you this as someone who has worked in a restaurant, first as a cook and then as a manager, and who knows a lot of what is involved.  And how easy it is for even established chains to fail.

If you're not interested in hearing input and advice, fine.  But believe it or not, I'm actually trying to HELP YOU, asshole.
