Looking for a strong partner to join my team of creative hedonists and food lovers!
My name is Roxane and I have 10 years experience in opening, managing and selling restaurants. I have successfully launched ventures in Ukraine, Portugal, France and now it is time to settle in the UK (London precisely!).
I am focused on quality, not quantity, and am looking forward to launching a new coffee & brunch space in London with a vision of expansion both locally (London) and Internationally (USA). The concept will include food, art and music, combining the best from each of these worlds. The idea will be turning around quality products, minimalistic approach, aesthetics and science of food (how food affects our body, mind and mood). I am looking for a strong General Manager to join me in this adventure, and to become partners with equity shares (the amount of shares will be discussed personally).
