Executive Summary

American Fuzion! What a concept with the US of A being the Melting Pot of the world and a dynamic diversity of food, art and music combine into one. ROQ hopes to develop this concept in a multi-tiered approach to the inspiration of all these cultures combing into one people. ROQ‟s product has many facets to it, food from around the country fuzed together to make a great repast of simply elegance with a refined rural aspect to it. Along with this will be the inspiring works of art in various media and encouragement leading to commissions by local, national and international artists to contribute to the fabric of Columbus, Ohio along with the music these cultures have created and combined together in the American Theatre, Symphonies, Opera‟s and Chamber Works so indicative of America‟s Developing Culture. We want to continue to push this envelope through the presentation of Rhythm and Blues, Rock, Jazz, Gospel and New Age performances throughout the years creating a consortium of performing artists in Middle America to which there will be no comparison. All of this we plan to accomplish by the fusion of all these concepts into a dynamic experience to be enjoyed by all. We see this as a growth concept, rivaled only by venues such as Hard Rock Café and House of Blues. While these concepts are great in themselves, we feel they are limited in scope and the niche market is a lot smaller for these venues. With this concept, the niche market is inclusive of people in the income range from lower income to higher income with events collaborated for a mass market appeal. In short we hope to have all types of people that feel comfortable mingling with each other in a very relaxed atmosphere and create open communication around a shared experience. The future for this concept is for further development in the Columbus, Ohio area and later branching off into other regions adapting as needed to the region we are situated in.

Special Events Special events include various types of performances by local, national and international performance artists and showings of various media artworks throughout the year. All flexible and yet expressing the diverse nature of Columbus and Ohio. We would like to establish a few yearly events such as July 4th BBQ Extravaganza with a special menu for that day and the Annual Thanksgiving Dinner throughout the week, RSVP for a special recognition/fundraising community event stressing the diverse nature of Columbus, Ohio and the needs of the community. The holiday season that ensues after Thanksgiving will present special presentations with a unique awareness to the Holiday being celebrated and will culminate with the Kings Fest on the 12th day after Christmas. Mardi Gras will be another special event with Fuzion Cuisine incorporating the infamous New Orleans Cajun and Creole that is unique to that region “fuzed” with Ohio Cuisine in a ubiquitous style. Easter will involve a Brunch and include foods and entertainment of the season, leading to Lamb and other worldly feasts, served brunch style. Cinco D „Mayo is a special time of year also in Columbus and will be recognized with a fusion of Columbus and Mexico in a creative way. It is our goal to tastefully offer a unique experience in dining and entertainment thus creating an all encompassing package for an evening or an afternoon. As times progress and the reputation develops we will be open to demo‟s in the Culinary arts and push for visiting chefs to promote their ways of doing things.

Hunter green, gold and maroon as the color scheme with impressionistic Fleur D‟ Leis around, subdued and not overstated. The floor design....dark green lily pads painted under the tables, a gold brick (yes Wiz Oz reference) pathway meandering between the tables, with maroon upholstered chairs and red velveteen table clothes and napkins Special Events: decorated accordingly...band CD release parties, performances by genre, theatrical presentations...create special menus that highlight that particular event (read: rename some of the menu items to correspond to the particular event) The color scheme is pseudo NOLA, with maroon instead of purple and the visual design should reflect a fusion just like the menu and the performance aspect

Marketing Plan

The Short North and/or University District of Ohio State can lend themselves to boutique/nouveax cuisine in a dinner/theatre/music/art space. Just as well, locating it south of Downtown, east of the Brewery District and German Village, and north of Schumacher Place and Merion Village, in the Livingston Avenue corridor between Grant Avenue and Parsons Avenue has the great potential of creating a dining and entertainment destination for a hip, young, nouveaux riche clientele drawing from those neighborhoods. With easy freeway access off of I-71 and I-70, this can be a destination for out-of-towners and other residents outside of these target neighborhoods. RR/Blues/Jazz/Nouveax Classique Make good food, keep prices affordable and have one evening or day of jam sessions, anything and everything goes. A lot of acoustic performance, poetry, comedy intermixed and a unique dining experience With a concept like this can do a joint venture, hire college people for the wait staff and kitchen staff also. Combining three departments...ie...theatrical, music, culinary arts, and restaurant management into a concerted effort to be creative and develop their skill sets under the guidance of experienced professionals in the industries. Open the facility up to many different experiences. I know a puppet troupe that would LOVE this, Puppet Queers Open and aware! Rustic comfort food with a musical twist and all the dishes will be named musically or theatrically. We can cater to your special needs! Event planning and community coordination efforts to be inclusive of everyone. Marketing initially will go through internet website and social networking such as Facebook, Constant Contact, Google Plus, LinkedIn, and through community organizations in a 200 mile radius of Columbus, Ohio. In addition, mailers with incentives to local business and to local hotels/motels along with invitations to opening night preceded by Press Party where we show a selection of our products to the local press. I have found these methods to be highly effective in creating a customer base and increasing customer loyalty. Also, special recognition with awards for events in customer and employee lives.

Cookbook and Gourmet Section We do have future plans of creating a cookbook, Culinary Videos, Izod Style Embroidered Shirts and Sweaters, Loyal Customer Awards and Bonus Plans, Dried Meats from around the world, Open Forums about cultural creation and sustainability, Etcâ&#x20AC;Ś Parlor Project The Parlor Project concept is one that I have personally been working on for 2 years with performers of international and regional acclaim. Parlor Project is the epitome of creative artist performance and development and serves a multifold purpose in bringing the creative arts to the people in a very relaxed and enjoyable experience. ROQ will create a resident ensemble imbibed with flexibility for various styles of performance art including musicians, visual artists, craftspeople and the culinary arts together to create these experiences on a continual basis. With the establishment of a resident ensemble or cast of characters, we will push the envelope in many ways. (See Appendices)

Jere Douglas I would like to take a minute of your time and expostulate on the wonders of the kitchen in any household in the world. Being a professional musician for many years, as well as involved in a family owned Nursing Home for 43 years, I have had the wonderful opportunities that only a varied life can afford. My cooking skills and talents began at a very early age, under the wing of Mrs. Lucy Wingo, in the kitchens of Douglas Nursing Home, Inc. There, we prepared meals for 75 residents, at least 3 per day, 365 days a year. She began, in her own way, teaching me the ins and outs of traditional Southern Cuisine. I was 5 years old at the time, and learned a lot from her. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x;s hard to condense a lifetime into two paragraphs, but, here we go! In my travels, I have had the great experience of enjoying the cuisines of many different countries, but I have a special knack of creating acquaintances and friendships that cover the globe. In this, I have been graced with many different ethnicities and cuisines that most would never have the opportunity to experience, in the pure state. In Houston, Texas, there is wonderful plethora of ethnicities, and if you go from neighborhood to neighborhood, you can just about find any type of cuisine and native culture that you would want to experience. I have lived in New York City, London, Tokyo, Iwakuni, San Francisco, Denver, Memphis, Nashville, and various other parts of the world. From these great places and with my varied careers, I have had the great joy of meeting many people. Among them are Julia Child, Emerille Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Graham Kerr, and others. It was in the actual meeting of them, that I have been inspired to be very creative and adventuresome in my kitchen, no matter where that kitchen happens to be. In looking at the sales paper for this week, I can think of about 30 different dishes, using the products that are offered there, that could feed families and perhaps multitudes, in many different situations. I am especially fond of Creole/Cajun, as well as Hispanic Traditions, in the culinary arts (the basics of these cuisines are not that far apart). I am also very enthused in the various cuisines of Europe, The Middle East, and the Far East. With the multi-ethnicity of Houston, Texas, HEB is in a wonderful position now to fulfill all those needs under one roof. I have a special secret ingredient in everything I prepare from whatever kitchen I just happen to be in. In my eyes, the kitchen is the heart and soul of almost any gathering and/or function that anyone is in attendance. There should be joy and laughter, along with some great food, no matter what their social or economic strata. By the way, my secret ingredient is Love, and that involves that special, going that extra mile, to make every meal, cocktail party, or major event, special.
