And I Still Have No Idea What I&#8217;m Doing.</h1><p>When I announced this a two weeks ago, the response was overwhelming. So many of you reached out with congratulations, support, and encouragement. All of which I&#8217;m incredibly grateful for. But the most popular comments you asked were: <em>When? Where? And how do I actually get a table?</em></p><p>So here are all the details.</p><p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUyM4cgDOMv/?igsh=cTR6NHBtbHphbGd2">GIUSEPPE&#8217;S opens March 19th at Boxhall City, Liverpool Street.</a></strong></p><p><strong>It&#8217;s only open for six weeks. That&#8217;s it. March 20th through April 27th, and then it&#8217;s gone.</strong></p><p>Now, I&#8217;ve wanted to reopen my Nonna&#8217;s restaurant ever since I found out they closed it down when I was just two years old. That dream has been sitting with me for as long as I can remember. But there&#8217;s no getting around the fact that the hospitality industry is brutal. Restaurants don&#8217;t fail because the food&#8217;s bad, they fail because the margins are razor-thin, hovering around 20%, which sounds fine until you remember that <em>everything</em> comes out of that. Rent. Staff. Ingredients. Bills. The an oven breaking at the worst possible moment.</p><p>So I&#8217;m not opening a permanent restaurant- yet. I&#8217;m testing the concept. I&#8217;m launching a pop-up. And this isn&#8217;t me being cautious, this is me being realistic.</p><p>Six weeks. Anyone can come. Any day of the week. No bookings. No guest list. You just walk in, order food, take a buzzer, and hopefully, less than ten minutes later, you&#8217;re eating. (And if it&#8217;s not ten minutes, don&#8217;t come for me, okay? It&#8217;s my first time.)</p><p>Honestly, I&#8217;m shitting myself.</p><p>Because I&#8217;m used to planning one night at a time. 20, maybe 30 people? Friends of friends. A room I can control. This is different. Now I have to think about: what if it&#8217;s busy? What if it&#8217;s <em>too</em> busy? What if it&#8217;s completely dead? What if no one shows up? What if everyone shows up at once?</p><p>The scariest part is I won&#8217;t know the answers to these questions until it&#8217;s happening in real time.</p><p>But this felt like the only way to do it. To do it properly. To do it honestly. Not pretending I have everything figured out. Just showing up. Doing my best. For six weeks. And seeing if this thing I&#8217;ve been dreaming about can actually exist in the real world.</p><p>So if you&#8217;ve been following along, if you&#8217;ve been asking when you can finally try the food, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUyM4cgDOMv/?igsh=cTR6NHBtbHphbGd2">this is it.</a> March 20th. Boxhall City, Liverpool Street. Six weeks. No reservations. Just come.</p><p>I&#8217;ll see you there.</p><p>&#8212;Giuseppe</p><p>PS. Please don&#8217;t all come at once or you&#8217;ll be waiting a long time.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://seppseats.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Giuseppe&#8217;s Waitlist!
