           Would you like to visit this restaurant? Why?

5.      Developing critical thinking- six thinking hats

Imagine that you have a possibility to open a new restaurant. Let’s discuss this opportunity. We have 6 different points of view. I remind you that we have white hat (facts), black hat  (disadvantages), blue hat (process), green hat(creativity), yellow hat( benefits) and red hat (feelings). Guess the colour of the hats.

Blue hat- OK, what do you think about a new restaurant in Brovary. What would it be? I even don’t know. Do you have any ideas?

White hat- we have a lot of restaurants in different parts of the town. Some of them are very expensive and some are cheap.  In my opinion, inhabitants of our town can find any restaurant they need. If they want to have confectionery they can go to  “Kamelia” or “Triple 7”. If they want to celebrate birthday or any important event there is a wide range of cafes, kid’s club and restaurants too. We also have fast food like “Kulinichi” and “ Star’s dogs”

Black hat- I don’t think that it is a good idea to start a new business nowadays. There are a lot of restaurants in Brovary. People don’t have money to buy even necessary things not only spend it in the restaurant. In addition, we live near Kyiv, the capital of our country and that’s why we don’t need to open a new restaurant.

Blue hat- do you agree?

Yellow hat-I don’t agree completely. If you have money and find a qualified staff- a good chef, reliable cooks and waiters and write a good business plan with SWOT analyses,  it will give you profit and success. All you need is good strategy!

Red hat- and it is so cool to have own restaurant. What a fantastic feeling! You can choose your menu, the interior  and cuisine that you like and so on. I would like to invite my friends and relatives there.  It would be amazing!

Green hat- In my view, you should think about distinctive feature of your restaurant. It can be unusual interior, special offers and actions or something else. But it should be very creative. As for me, I am fond of different theme party. You can arrange wild west party, cinema party etc once a month.

Blue hat – OK, let’s summarize. Starting a new business is always hard. It has a lot of difficulties but it’s up to you to overcome them.
