Good Day to All!
I will be moving forward with the Wall of Remembrance in a very thoughtful and caring manner. We received 60 responses, either giving us the "thumbs up" or
the "thumbs down." Of those 60 responses, 55 of you were in favor and 5 were against or not sure. All of your responses were very heartfelt and written with a lot of passion. Thank you!
As illustrated in your responses, this idea appeals to many, but not all. For those of you who know me, the last thing in the world, I want to do is upset anyone. I am moving forward with this out of compassion for those families, who want to participate and I truly hope that those who disagree realize that I have taken their words into consideration.
If I may, I would like to share a sample of the responses:
"I think that is a wonderful idea! It just shows that the China Dine-ah owner and employees are not just a business but are part of my extended family and we are part of theirs. I always feel so warm inside coming to visit and look forward to seeing my friends. I hope that others feel the same."
"I so truly feel you should go with the Wall. As a family restaurant, it would represent all of the community families together. I think it is awesome."
"This is a wonderful idea as long as family members give their approval."
"I think its a lovely idea. You really appreciate your customers and I think this is another way to show just how much."
"Great idea Norm! Your regular newsletter subscribers already know how appreciative you are of your customers and the fact that you often "feel their pain" when writing about someone's health issues or passing, I think the memorial wall is an excellent tribute for friends of the Dine-ah."
"What an awesome idea!!! How nice that would be to see loved ones, friends that have passed on being remembered by the Dine-ah."
"Norm, think this is a wonderful idea...Continues the meaning of the "China Dine-ah" .....Fine family atmosphere and beautiful friends...You all treat everyone with grace and good humor....The wall will just embrace those feelings...Go for it!!"
"What a great idea the Wall of Remembrance is! I'm sure many will feel that to be a lovely gesture and a nice way of honoring those who've enjoyed the Dine-ah experience. I'd love it if Mike was included on the Wall. I'm sure that would make him very happy."
Those were just a few of the supportive responses and the following is a sample of the "thumbs down":
"Seriously, it strikes me as kind of a downer and I am glad you are going to place it in the back hall rather than near the entry vestibule and waiting area where new customers who don't know the caring family atmosphere of the Dine-ah might study it, misunderstand it's loving purpose, and decide they better leave."
"I'm not sure how I feel about this, a restaurant doesn't seem to be an appropriate place for this, but a community gathering place like the Dine-ah does. Hmmm...."
As always, I appreciate all of you that read and/or read and write. It keeps me very connected with you, the customer, always giving you an opportunity to voice words of praise or concern. In our effort to continuously improve, I find this very helpful and at the end of the day,I really do want to know our patrons.
Quick update on the new location, please see below, our new (to us) but used, 2009 China Dine-ah van that will be used to shuttle non refrigerated product from Dine-ah to Dine-ah. This van will be parked in front of the new China Dine-ah Too in an effort to drive traffic to our flagship location.
Good day to All!
Norm
