So this is where you work.

I was a bit nervous I'd be late. This is a big deal for me.

Nice to see you again.

I plan to direct social content from Maison Lavaux's Instagram, which has increased 30% since I started, to the newly launched Chez Lavaux account.

Cards on the table, this is my first restaurant account.

Would you prefer a soft opening to get the kitchen up to speed, or do you want to start with a bang?

We don't want our customers coming to a dress rehearsal, do we?

I'm going to have to come to the restaurant and get some behind-the-scenes footage of you at work.

Of course. You're welcome any time.

Maybe loosen up a little.

Well, take another sip then.

You have to cut that bit. I look ridiculous on (in) this one.

Has the position been filled?

2. What is the difference between a soft opening and a grand opening (starting with a bang)?
3. What are the pros and cons of each opening style? Which one do you think is more appropriate for Gabriel's restaurant opening?
4. How often do your friends or family visit your office? (Or how often do you visit your friends' or family's office?) Does it feel awkward?
5. What is the etiquette (rules) of posting pictures or videos of your friends online (Instagram, TikTok)? Should you always ask a friend's permission before you post? Do you think the etiquette is different from platform to platform?
6. Have you ever tried a restaurant, bar, or café because you saw it on Instagram or TikTok? Did it live up to the hype? What’s been your best or worst experience?
7. Which do you find more reliable: a friend’s recommendation or social media? Why?
