Brian Turko's mantra

100% Gluten Free

 Smak may have a different meaning over here but its USP in Vancouver is 100% gluten free.

Marlow in Bucks has just announced it will shortly have a 100% gluten free cafe to join the other five cafes in town.

Nibsy's "for the love of coffee and all things gluten free" has just opened in Reading.  A new trend?

Do You Mention the View?

Views are important to customers and the Lift restaurant in Vancouver knows it and, quite rightly, mentions it in their signage.  Do you capitalise on a view that you have?
