A Really Good Idea

In my never ending quest to come up with successful business ventures, i came up with an idea that could revolutionize the food industry. It seems all the rage to take cartoons, comics and video games that were once popular and to now make them into modern movies. They've had great success with Spiderman, Batman, Transformers, just to name a few. So i figured why not ride that train a little further and use that same concept in the restaurant industry? I mean, that's the American thing to do; take an idea and drive it into the ground well after it has crashed. In doing so, i came up with a few restaurant concepts that i would now like to introduce to you.

Concept 1: Let's say that you're really craving some good Italian, something better than the Olive Garden or Spaghetti Factory. You're looking for something special, something out of the ordinary. Something...super. Then go to Super Mario's Italian Cafe and Eatery! Just imagine all the waitors and waitresses dressed as Mario, Luigi and Peach. Then they bring out a mushroom and give it to your kids and tell them they must eat it if they want to grow bigger. Good potential with that one. And look at the sample employee uniforms. Just think how well you could pick up plates off the table with a plunger...

Concept 2: You wake up Saturday morning exhausted after a long week of work. You want to eat like a king, but you really don't want to go to all the trouble of preparing a royal meal. So you decide to head on down to the only place you feel more comfortable at than home. You're going to eat at The Griddler, where home-style breakfast is served all day long. Of course, you'd have to start out ordering by saying something like "Griddle me this..." I know what you're thinking; Denny's and IHOP already do this and they serve other food too. Well, Denny's isn't a cool name, so i'm pretty confident The Griddler would come out on top. Plus, I could create a character for "The Griddler" and make him an actual person that stands on the sidewalk in a "Griddler" costume waving at the cars driving by. "The Griddler" would be somebody. Who's Denny? And what about IHOP? It sounds like something a rabbit would say. The first thing i think about when i hear someone say "I'm going to IHOP" is asking them if they're going to a jump roping class. No competition there either.

Concept 3: Now let's say that you're really craving some good pizza, but it's only 3 in the afternoon and dinner isn't until 6. You don't want to get the baked pizza now, it will be cold by the time the fam is ready to devour it. Cold pizza= poor devouring conditions. But if you have it delivered, you have to tip the home-boy who dropped it off. Not cool. So what is one to do in this situation? Stop by a store that you can buy a fresh made pizza and take it home and cook it when you like. That's right, i'm talking about Papa Smurfy's Take it n' Bake it. How great would it be to buy a pizza from a beloved childrens character in a large red hat. It's just natural. And how amazing would it be to be able to buy a pizza with a blue crust? It would have every kid begging for more. What better way to get those picky eaters to eat something nutritious than to serve them blue pizza? I think Papa Smurf says it all with his "ta da!" stance. That is the image of success.

Is it risky to let these ideas out for the masses to see before i have the proper documentation giving me rights to profit off of others creative original concepts? Yes. But living on the edge adds a spice to life that i just can't get enough of. That's what made Mario the legend he is today. And that's what's gonna make me rich!
