A Gem Of A Business

I’m always delighted to discover AgeEsteemed Businesses.  Denise’s Beachway Cafe* in Bradenton, Forida is such a place.  Although we were only in the area for a week, we ate there three times.  The food was delicious and the environment welcoming – and full of AgeEsteem.

  • Welcoming for all ages:  50 plus customers, grandparents with grandchildren, business people and small groups of friends of all ages.
  • Staff of multiple ages with most being 50 plus who love doing just what they do.  In fact, Denise told me « I hire them for their smile and attitude. –  I can teach anyone the mechanics of the job ».
  • Family atomosphere.  Staff call many customers by name, asking about their families and activites. (Giving your name to sign up for a table probably helps.)  Many sign in on their own   We saw one regular customer scrub his hands and help put utensils together with napkins after he had paid his bill.  Another was paying for past meal bills that had been held for him.
  • Even when the place is packed with people waiting for tables, the racing waitresses still manage a genuine smile and welcome.  And….
  • The food is good and within most budgets since you can eat for under $10 even after adding on the tip.

Thank you, Denise, for showing the way to other small business owners.  You have a gem of a business, full of AgeEsteem.
