IT’S MY tashas

"It’s my tashas

I have watched it growing from dust to the finest

I have watched contractors in helmets and overalls busy building it

It’s my tashas, I saw it grow

I saw interviews taking place at another place

I saw successful staff doing their orientation work waiting to be completed.

I saw customers coming to tashas not knowing anything

I saw waiters saying Welcome to tashas

I saw customer’s  moving into groups to avoid losing one another as the place was changing by the minute to tashas

I saw Maggie, Zoe, Nkosi, doing their training department by department

Learning the difficult menu’s, cocktails & drinks

I saw bar ladies working day after day

It’s my  tashas

I saw waitrons, staff, bar ladies, getting ready to open it

I saw the executive manager, waitrons, kitchen, manager, bar ladies, official opening it

I saw tashas opening it in front of all the VIP customers, dedicated staff, local & international media.

I saw it grow

I’ts my tasha

I saw businessmen & women up and down from 60’s to the smoking area, lovers corner & computer stations commenting for good service.

I saw musicians, actresses, politicians having coffee, cakes, easy meals

I saw Americans turning it into a palace

I saw waitrons saying Welcome to tashas

I saw it changing from tashas to tashas Bedfordview

I saw it growing

It’s my tashas"
