"I would give it a try, and return if it was good.
It might be good to set up near a clinic or hospital so when folks have their health immediately in mind they'll stop in. Maybe have dieticians have group meetings on occasion.
Good luck!"

I am on a mm 723 and I still have lots of Lantus. I am debating unhooking for a week while I am on my cruise next week. Anyone else cruised and what was your solution?

I'm late to the game but I've been involved in the restaurant business for more than 30 years and I want to warn you that it is a very tough business and that a good concept and good intentions are only a small part of what is…"

Sana Ajmal replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"I think it's a great idea... may be you can also focus on having sugar-free sweet dishes as well coz that's something you generally don't find in market/restaurants very easily... If I have a place to go which serves healthy food and…"
Rye replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"I would go but I think you shouldn't say its a diabetic care for it may scare people off. I think just healthy choice aimed care would be better. Then you could advertise to everyone needing and wanting to be healthy.... good luck!"
dusk replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"I agree with smileandnod. My number one peeve with eating out is having to ask for the nutritional info, and sometimes they don't even have one!"
Scott E replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"I don't think targeting people with "diabetes" -- using the term either in the name, or better yet a tagline or slogan, is such a bad idea. Yes, emphasize natural wholesomeness in general and not diabetes exclusively (in other words,…"
Gerri replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"The restaurant biz has an incredibly high failure rate & one of the narrowest margins for profit. Targeting a specific population is further limiting your chances for success. Even if you've got a large enough demographic to draw on, you…"
"Thank you for everyone's replys. They will be very helpful."
greenclouds replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"If I saw a cafe named "cafe diabetes" no doubt I would go immediately :D -- sounds exciting!"
acidrock23 replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"I agree with "Healthy" being a much better marketing strategy than "Diabetes". If you have a restaurant, you are selling food and, even if the people with diabetes want to go out to eat, it's only a small (albeit growing?)…"
JohnG replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"It sounds good at first...Sharps containers in each booth, you get a free bag of skittles if it takes over 15 min to deliver your food.

Jim replied to jasonb's discussion 'Diabetic cafe, what do you think?'"It would have to have good food and if your promotion line is "Good Food for Diabetics" I would probably pass because that doesn't sound like good food."
