On Developing Your Personality (Intro)

Image
On Developing Your Personality Travel. Get on planes, trains, buses that take you somewhere you’ve never been. Get lost in cities where you don’t speak the language. Eat the street food. Talk to strangers. Your personality doesn’t develop in your comfort zone, it develops when you’re slightly terrified and completely alive. On Food and Culture Eat great food. Not just fancy food, but real food. The stuff that makes locals line up at 5 AM. The family recipe that takes all day. The hole in the wall spot with plastic chairs and the best dal you’ve ever tasted. Food is culture on a plate. Every meal that matters teaches you something about people, about place, about paying attention. On Reading Read good books. Read voraciously. Read things you disagree with. Read poetry even if you think you hate poetry. Read history, read fiction, read memoirs of people who lived lives nothing like yours. Books are how you live a thousand lives in one. On Movies and Perspective Watch interesting movies. ...

When the Rains Close the Doors: Challenges for Cafés in Monsoon Season

Image
For many café owners, the monsoon brings more than just rain ,  it brings a pause in foot traffic, unpredictable supply chains, and higher operational costs. Some of the biggest challenges we face when shutters go down: Revenue Drops: No customers means no cash flow. Stock Management: Ingredients can expire before reopening. Staff Retention: Keeping trained baristas and chefs motivated when shifts are cut. Maintenance Costs: Dampness can damage interiors, equipment, and stock. The downtime can be tough, but it’s also an opportunity ,  to refine menus, train teams, plan marketing, and repair what needs fixing. Rain may stop customers from coming in, but it shouldn’t stop us from moving forward. How do you prepare your café for monsoon downtime? #CafeBusiness #Hospitality #SmallBusiness #MonsoonSeason #zuzupizza

The day i realised what zomato took away

Image
Today, while making food for Zomato, I noticed something. The only person I actually interact with is the delivery guy. I don’t get to see who I’m cooking for, what their reaction is, or if they even liked it. It’s just order, prepare, pack, hand it over, and done. It made me realize how much I miss the real café experience, serving guests, talking to them, seeing them enjoy the food, that energy inside the café. That’s what I opened Zuzu for. That’s where the joy really is. When I make food for Zomato, honestly, it sometimes feels like I’m working just for the money. The essence of having a café, the personal touch, kind of disappears. I’m not complaining because online orders do help us grow and reach more people. But yeah, I miss those moments when someone smiles after the first bite, or says “this is amazing” before they even finish eating. Maybe that’s just how things are now, part café, part cloud kitchen. Still, I’ll always prefer that real connection with the people I’m cooking...

Once You Taste Real, There’s No Going Back

Image
Last week, I stepped into a Domino’s after years. They had a combo offer: pizza, Coke, and some dips. It looked like a convenient deal, so I thought, why not? When the pizza arrived, my friend and I took our first bites. She was enjoying it comfortably, as if nothing was out of the ordinary. For her, this was what pizza tasted like. She has never been to my pizzeria nor tried a pizza made with a fresh, slow cooked sauce. For me, it was a completely different story. The moment I tasted it, I stopped. The sauce felt processed, almost chemical, like it had come straight out of a jerry can. The dough was rubbery, the flavor flat. I couldn’t go beyond that first bite. That moment reminded me why I started Zuzu Pizza in the first place. Here our marinara sauce is made fresh the old school way, slow cooked with ripe tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and herbs. No shortcuts, no preservatives. Our dough is hand stretched, rested properly, and baked with care. Every pizza we make is about balance, fr...
