Meeting a woman of a thousand faces... of which we all might be one of and never know it

[Quintus Varro]

So it was evidently time to rethink the specs on McYoda's not just in terms how what it was, but how big it could be! It hadn't taken long to get a half a dozen meetings in order for the company itself, in fact it taken a lot less effort then he thought, seems everyone ate at McYoda's these days. There was some excitement to that, it felt like a current to him, as unstoppable as time and the seasons. Of course he was sure that's what everyone thought of their success so he was still going to put the work in. Thus he'd arrived to a designated space station for a meeting with [member="Kyra Sol"] for the purpose of expanding their new business 'empire' even further. Soon he'd need to start offering out large franchisees if this kept up.

He wore a decent suit, nothing truly expensive, but he found people at this level expected it, he had matched it with his two toned hair of black, and silver. In fact he realized as he examined himself that he was near glowing with excitement his gold skin standing out quite strongly against the black material. With a half grin he looked over towards his business partner. "You know, with all this growth we should do something with the menu. Maybe something healthy for once instead of the usual, or well the sauce."

The soft pad of footsteps and the shift of fabric would accompany the blonde Companion. She wore a soft black robe lined in rose, a soft obi wrapped around her waist and tucked in front. The small, platinum hair stick would jingle lightly with each step, folded into the smooth sweep of blonde hair.

Most knew her as Saffron, Guildhouse Companion. To those within Silver Sanctum Space, she was the direct point of contact for all of Arceneau Trade production within its territory. Saffron was here to potentially step out with a mutually beneficial contract with the owner of McYoda's.

Afterall, who didn't have an odd, addictive liking of their fresh cut fries?

A soft chuckle shook Eamon as the envoy from Arceneau Trade arrived, he'd aimed wrong completely, his suit didn't near cut it. Then again he was still new to the game of being a face, and leading a company. For a moment he earned for the days of research and development, the angry late night arguments with peers even seemed less stressful then trying to win at this end of the game. Still though he had a job to do, and he'd do it. At least he'd try to. Glancing over to Kyra with his usual half grin he knew she'd possibly embrace her role in this as meeting as a silent partner, but it never hurt to hope.

Raising from his seat as she entered he gave a small bow and offered his hand, "Eamon Tragon, it is lovely to met you. Thank you for meeting us on such short term notice, you're enthusiasm for our brand is quite invigorating. We've actually had quite a bit of movement recently, and a deal with Arceneau Trade is quite a cherry on top of any cake." Moving to pull out a seat for her as he spoke he also took the opportunity to turn on a holodisplay at the center of the table. Taking a moment to flicker before coming completely into view he made a mental note to check on the unit after the meeting. Later he'd give it an eye roll or two, but with present company it might be misunderstood. So instead he merely gave a small smile and let it go. "As you can see, we've several new concept stores depending on your needs. Our primary store continues to be the everyday restaurant I'm sure you've seen, but we've got several rather exciting ideas being phased in now."

Flicking a button the display changed from the usual on planet stand alone restaurant to the orbital facility. Larger by quite a bit then the usual restaurant dozens of ports existed to shoot out little delivery droids to any ship around orbit, or to the planet itself. "As you can see the orbital facility is a much larger scale idea. Instead of hundred of restaurants packed all over a planet one large facility working nonstop and using custom droids to deliver food to millions possibly. No need to stand in line, or even land really. We bring the food right to the consumer's door, or docking bay. its also much more secure then your usual store, we're hoping to be able to sell to high security locations, governments, or perhaps classified corporate areas."

One last click brought him to the final model, the newest idea for McYoda's, unless Kyra had already thought up another one while he was putting this presentation together. The third model was made to conserve as much space as possible. An incredibly compact restaurant, meant for starbases without enough space to spare for the traditional restaurant, or even transport ships. "Now the idea for this one is a limited menu you could serve anywhere. You simply one of a dozen meals out on the interface, the preset machines cook it, and send it down to terminal it was ordered on. Cuts down on the space needed, and costs by a good bit. Downsides are the limited menu, and the lack of edits to the meal. All condiments will come on the side to make it slightly easier for the consumer, but no custom ordering per say. Now I'm not entirely sure what you're looking for at Arceneau, but whatever your needs we'd be happy to handle your business." By the time he was done speaking he'd entirely forgotten he was nervous in the first place, of course thinking about it made him so again. Luckily this was beginning to be normal to him, or at least the nervousness was.

"A pleasure." Saffron would say with a smile. All the introductions and such were however, quickly set aside while the presentation went underway. Saffron quietly observed, watching and studying each idea for expansion. All were quite wonderful really, and it made a point that McYoda's was on a roll.

"We are open to several options and welcome ideas," Saffron said with a smile. Her fingers would lightly tap against the surface of her other hand. "Would you say that there just might be ways to integrate local ethnic cuisines along with each new location? Perhaps cater to specific diets?"

It was a stretch but just an idea. "How about marketing? What are your ideas on that venture?"

 

[Quintus Varro]

With a nod he smiled broadly at the local cuisine question, "We've never given an offical local menu, but they do exist actually depending on the cultural and racial traits of the local populace. We still sell the main menu at such locations, but we've got a division that runs through more local specialties that cater to our customers. We've also slightly alter the amount of nutrients on worlds habituated by races which require greater protein or fat intake. The core menu will always be there, and unfortunately with the limits of space the compact models only offer the core. Outside of that though we're more then happy to offer different dietary substitutes absolutely."

As she asked about marketing he pressed another button on his holo display the new deals going out via holonet coupons among other things. "First we'd like to rebrand a bit, or rather give our brand a slightly nicer image. We're adding some more health orientated meals to the core menu, and with our new contracts in agricultural goods we're actually on a whole new level of meat for near the same price. What we'd like to do is with the new addition, and the increase in quality offer out a buy one get one on any meal. We've looked into a spokesman, but haven't had much luck there yet. I will admit though, we're a bit new to this and more then willing to accept suggestions."

Saffron gave a nod. All of these were great ideas to branch out, certainly enough to build a profit.

"As so far for the locations within Arceneau Trade stations, would you have a preference at maintaining the same layout, or would you prefer to let each location design and decorate it on their own?"

There was some merit to that. Having the same layout meant that each store would have that familiarity to the consumer. However, allowing for an individuality per location could also benefit to that.

Saffron was willing to work with whatever McYoda's desired.
