Welcome by Yvan's! :-)

GABY is a vegan hamburger restaurant that will open in the center of Paris in mid-July - hopefully :-)

Hello there !

But, first, who is this mysterious "Yvan", who wants to open a vegan burgers restaurant? [Between us, I am not sure that it interests anyone, hehe. but as this can contribute to the success of this crowdfunding campaign, let's go for it cheerfully! :-)]

I am a Parisian. Born at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in a medium-sized city named La Rochelle, thirty-nine years ago [quite a nice place to visit for a few days, by the way ;-)]. I moved to Paris as a business management student. I started working as a bank employee. Then in 2012 created a head-hunting business. But for a year and a half now, I only have ONE idea in mind: to open a vegan burger fast-food.

Yes, well, sounds cool..., but "why"?

Well, it's probably because of a combination of factors. I mean, is it because in 2003, when I was passing by the city of Bloomington, IL (USA), I tasted my first vegan hamburger (delicious burger, I still remember the perfect patty and slices of fresh red onions)? Is it because I enjoy cooking very much? Or is it because I like to eat with my hands? :-) It's probably more because I was born into a vegetarian family. Thus, through rewarding meetings with other veggie-like-minded people :-) I decided for about 7 years to adopt a vegan diet, then in 2016 moved to a vegan lifestyle.

This choice also comes from my desire to align my professional life with my personal ethics. As you have understood, it is important for me that my activity reflects my values.

So, GABY will be a vegan restaurant, with a sound eco-logical base.

Okay, now we understand why Yvan wants to open this restaurant. [And, thanks again for reading, by the way ;-)]

But the customers, why would they come to eat burgers in this restaurant rather than another, huh?

Well, firstly you have to know that:

> Our products are homemade, from raw organic origin, and according to the rhythm of the seasons. No GMOs, no pesticides, no artificial flavors or colorings, no preservatives, and 100% organic, including drinks.

You will live happier and longer! :-)

> Also, environmental impact is reduced, with local sourcing and as much as possible recycled items.

But, in addition... you dreamed of it:

> You can customize your burger, with your own choice of ingredients, sauces and condiments! Hmmmmm... yummy!!

That's it!

I hope that you enjoy this project!

No concessions :-)

REPORT ON THE PROGRESS OF THE PROJECT

Premises

I took possession of the premises in March. With the help of my architect and interior designer, Hélène Guillou, we are finishing the work and we are starting the decoration. We finished laying the tiles :-) The electricity is almost over. It remains to arrange the kitchen.

Equipment

I have already purchased :

2 refrigerated towers type "saladette" 2 doors. 1 cold cabinet. 1 wine cellar cabinet. 2 hotplates. 1 oven. 1 plancha "grill". 1 bun toater. 1 veggie-cutter.

Funding

Most of the project is already funded. There is still about 10% to "find". But it's a lot of money! That's why I dream of a little helping push :-)

Recipes

Most recipes are ready. It remains to implement them on a larger scale :-)

Suppliers

We already have some of our suppliers. For vegetables, they are passionate organic farmers in the Paris region. The quality of their products is really great!

For hamburger buns, there are the bakeries nearby. Their customised bread is perfect! :-))

Menu, and other visuals

The menu is ready :-)

There are still a lot of visuals to produce!
