❤️ FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART — THANK YOU! ❤️
I want to personally thank EVERYONE who came out and supported Paul Paul’s Asian Cajun and Soul on our opening day! 🙏🏾❤️
Was it a struggle? YES.
Did everything go perfectly? NO.
But one thing I can proudly say is… WE DID IT! 💪🏾🔥
We didn’t have the experienced staff we had hoped to have after holding open interviews, and when opening day came, I could have easily been standing there trying to do everything by myself.
But that’s when my friends and family stepped up.
And I have to give a VERY SPECIAL shoutout to my 11- and 13-year-old daughters. ❤️ These two young ladies VOLUNTEERED to step in and help save their dad on opening day. They had ZERO restaurant experience, but they worked HARD, stayed strong, listened, learned on the fly, and did everything they could to help us get through the day.
Yes, some orders got behind.
Yes, the wait was longer than we wanted.
Yes, some customers left.
Yes, there were complaints.
But those girls DIDN’T GIVE UP. They heard the complaints, felt the pressure, and still kept pushing. They took it like champs, and as their father, I couldn’t be more proud of them. ❤️
What many people didn’t know was that behind the scenes, my friends and family were literally coming together to make sure Paul Paul’s Asian Cajun and Soul succeeded. Without them stepping in, I would have been left trying to handle opening day alone.
So before anyone focuses on what went wrong, I want to recognize the people who stepped up when I needed them the most.
THANK YOU TO MY FAMILY. THANK YOU TO MY FRIENDS. THANK YOU TO MY DAUGHTERS. AND THANK YOU TO EVERY CUSTOMER WHO SHOWED US PATIENCE, GRACE, LOVE AND SUPPORT. 🙏🏾
Opening day taught us a lot. We know what we need to improve, and we WILL improve. This is only the beginning.
We may have struggled, but WE PULLED THROUGH. WE FINISHED THE DAY. AND PAUL PAUL’S ASIAN CAJUN AND SOUL IS OFFICIALLY OPEN! 🔥🍤🍗❤️
Thank you, Cheyenne, for giving us a chance. We’re just getting started!
