Ameerika mäed teel kohviku - American mountains on the way to cafe

 **Scroll down for English**

KOHVIK -> RESTO

Ohhh, ei olegi nii kerge.
Minu blogi postitused on veninud.
Algas see sellest, et need lihtsad ja rasked ameerika mäed olid väsitavad ning mõni kuu laiselda ei paistnud veel halb tegu, aga siis algas Ukrainas sõda. See mõjutas väga otseselt minu mitme sõbra elu ja üks neist aitab mind ka blogi tegemistes ning austuseks otsustasin hetkel oma asjadega teda mitte koormata.
Vahepeal sain vastuvõetuks alustava ettevõtja koolitusele, mida ootasin juba aastast 2018.
Aitäh, Maakondlikud arenduskeskuste võrgustiku Raplakad- RAEK. Pidin varem sellest võimalusest alati loobuma, raviaegade kattumise tõttu. Järgmiseks sain koroona ja vedelesin valudes kodus. Eneseisolatsioon lõppes koroona teise lainega või uue koroona viirusega. Jõudsin taas ettevõtluskoolituse lainele. Suvi tuleb, seega tunne on hea ja energia tuleb tagasi.
Vahepeal eesti sõbraga arutades me jõudsime mõtteni, et Ukraina sõbral lastes olla enda mõtetega ainult murede juures on just teda koormav ja mina enda kohviku mõtetega võiksin pakkuda vaheldust ning võimalust viia mõtted mujale. See Ukraina sõber õnneks ei ela seal möllu sees vaid teises riigis.

See on nagu reis mägedes, kus iga järgnev takistus on mind palju raputanud. Otsides kohvik/restorani, mida külastada ja omanikega vesteldes, soovisin  täiendada enda pilti sellest ettevõtmisest kuid see ei ole olnud tulemuslik. Kas ei vastata kirjale või räägitakse, kui raske on ja miks mina ei peaks seda ette võtma. Eks see on konkurentsi hirm.
Ettevõtluskoolituse läbimine ja äriplaani valmimine on nõueteks, et taotleda Töötukassast ettevõtte alustamise toetust -6000 EUR. Kohviku nimetuse juurest olen jõudnud resto nimetuseni, kuna koolitusel arutasime ja sain tagasisideks, et nimetus ikka peaks näitama, millega tegu ja mina soovin pakkuda rohkem, kui kohvi ja sai. Ettevõtluskoolitus sai väga edukalt läbitud ja ma pole kuulnud veel nii suurt usku ning innustust minu idee suhte, mille sain tagasisideks tervelt grupilt.
Ma tean, et ma ikka soovin seda kohviku/resto mõtet teostada. Seega lähen jutuga asja juurde. Aastavahetuse aeg sain kirja ja pakkumise, et saan ühe tuttava ämmalt vanu nõusid, ta nägi mind Ringvaate saates ja otsustati neid pakkuda minule. Kunagi mööda sõites plaanib need ära tuua.

Minuga on jagatud erinevaid positiivseid ja negatiivseid muljeid ettevõtlusest. Teenindusest, toidu valmistamisest, kokast, raamatupidamisest, asukohast jne. Siinkohal minule meeldib minu ettevõtlus koolitaja jutt, et hea “kiiksuga” koht võib olla ka metsa sees. Sellest kõigest ma saan aru, et juht ei pea kõike oskama vaid hea juht oskab teiste oskused ühendada ja jälgib, et ratas veereks. Muidugi tuleb iga oskus kasuks. Mina olen ka mõelnud käia raamatupidamise- , barista jne koolitustel, mitte, et seda osata ja meeskonda õpetada vaid osata mõista, kuidas see käib. Mind huvitab mõistmine, et kui lihtne või raske see tegevus on ja ma usun, et nii mõistan paremini töötajaid ja nende tööd.
Ettevõtluskoolituse viimasel nädalal leidsin enda tutvusringkonnast inimese, kelle kokast ema oli nõus natuke kaasa mõtlema ja mind suunama ning ma saatsin neile selle aastase paprika kastme, mille soovin tuua ka enda toidukohakesse. Ma soovin, et meie ise valmistaks seda, kuna poe versioon pole ligilähedalgi sellele maitsele, mis ise tehes on tulnud.
Lisaks avastasin, et ma ei soovi sellel aastal toetusi taotleda, kuna see lükkaks koha avamise sellesse 2022 aasta suvesse, aga ma ei soovi avada hooaja lõpu poolel ja pärast raskustes talvele vastu minna. Soovin avada hooaja algul seega siht praegu on aasta 2023 alguseks paberid korda ja täiega kevadesse.

Nüüd tuleb need mõtted kokku panna, õpitud teadmised rakendada ja resto ei ole enam kaugel.

CAFE -> RESTO

Ohhh, it's not that easy.

My blog posts have dragged on.

Ups and downs were tiring and a few months of laziness didn't seem like a bad thing, but then the war started in Ukraine. It had a very direct impact on the lives of several of my friends, and one of them helps me with my blog, and out of respect, I decided not to bother her with my stuff at the moment.

In the meantime, I was accepted for the business starter training I had been waiting for since 2018.

Thank you, the network of county development centers (maakondlike arenduskeskuste võrgustik) Rapla- RAEK. In the past, I always had to reject this option due to the overlap of my rehabilitation times. Next I got the coronavirus and stayed in pain at home. Self-isolation ended with a second coronavirus wave or a new variant.
I got back to business starter training.

Summer is coming, so the feeling is good and the energy is coming back.

In the meantime, discussing with an Estonian friend, we came to the idea that letting my Ukrainian friend be alone with her thoughts is hard. I could offer a change and a possibility to divert thoughts to other stuff with my café ideas. Fortunately, this Ukrainian friend does not live in that madness but in another country.

It's like a trip to the mountains, where every subsequent obstacle has shaken me a lot. While looking for a cafe / restaurant to visit and talking to the owners, I wanted to improve my image of this business, but it has not been effective. They either haven’t replied to the letter or talked about how difficult it is and why I shouldn't do it. That is probably the fear of competition. Business starter training and completed business plan are requirements for applying to the Unemployment centre (Töötukassa) business starter support of 6000 EUR.
I have gone from the name of the café to the name of the resto, because during the training we discussed it and I received feedback that the name should still show what it is and I want to offer more than coffee and bread. The training was very successful and I haven't heard so much faith and inspiration for my idea, which I got as feedback from the whole training group.

I know I still want to do that cafe / resto idea. So I'm going to talk about it. During the year 2020, I received a letter with an offer to receive old dishes from my friend's mother-in-law. She saw me on a TV show (Ringvaade) and decided to offer them to me. They plan to drop these by my place someday when they are around.

Various positive and negative impressions of entrepreneurship have been shared with me. From service, cooking, accounting, location, etc. At this point, I like the saying of my business trainer that a good place can also be inside the forest. From all this, I understand that the leader does not have to know everything, but a good leader can combine the skills of others and make sure that the wheel rolls. Of course, every skill comes in handy. I have also thought of attending training in accounting, barista, etc. Not to be professional and teach the team, but to understand how it works. I am interested in understanding how easy or difficult this activity is, and I believe that this is how I better understand employees and their work.

In the last week of the business starter training, I found someone in my circle of friends whose chef's mother agreed to think bit along with me and guide me, and I sent them this year's paprika sauce, which I would like to bring to my place. I want us to make it ourselves, because the version of the store is not even close to the taste that we have made ourselves.

In addition, I discovered that I do not want to apply for support money this year because it would make the opening of the place in the summer of 2022, but I do not want to open at the end of the season and face the winter and have difficulties. I want to open at the beginning of the season so the goal now is to finish the paperwork for the beginning of 2023 and start the business.

Now these ideas need to be put together with the knowledge I got and the resto is not far away.
