Hello!
I hope you have had a nice weekend!
I am back from my vacation refreshed and renewed! We will be reopening on Tuesday.
I’ve had a lot to think about this Summer, and in the last few days as I’ve been deep cleaning the kitchen and putting it back together. I am ever-searching for the elusive work-life balance and in order to achieve it and I need to decide where to focus my energy. I’d like to know your opinions about a few things to support my thought process and would so appreciate your anwers to the questions below!
Before we get to the survey, I want to remind you that I’m still hiring a whole new staff for Fall. Please spread the word! I’ve had lots of really good and fruitful conversations regarding a business partner as well, but all still in very early stages. If either is something you’ve considered, let’s at least have a conversation!
I don’t know how to do a fancy survey, so if are able to take the time to answer these questions, will you please copy them into an email and send the answers to me at juliahellerman@gmail.com?
- How often do you go to Julia’s Kitchen?
- Several times a week
- Once a week
- Twice a month
- Sporadically
- What appeals to you about Julia’s Kitchen?

- Other:
- Do you generally come to Julia’s Kitchen to:
- Sit down and eat a meal
- Order a meal for carry out
- Pick up food from the grab and go to heat later at home
- Purchase bakery items
- Would you rather:
- Have food ready to eat and held at proper temperature, so service is faster
- Wait the extra time for food to be made to order
- Would you rather:
- A consistent menu with a lot of choices
- A rotating menu with fewer choices
- Please describe your interest in the grab and go?
- I use it all the time
- I didn’t know you had one!
- I would use the grab and go more often if there were other options available; please provide some examples of the options you would like to see
- Are you interested in a grab and go full of “staples” to build a meal, such as sprouted grains, sprouted beans, veggie sides, sauces, etc?
- Are you interested in a pre-ordered meal service where you pick up meal kits and instructions to prepare with the option of adding your own veggies and/or customizing for your preferences?
- Given that we only use organic ingredients, everything is prepared from scratch, our grains, beans, nuts, and seeds are sprouted, and that we do not use a microwave, plastic squeeze bottles, or other methods of preparing food that would make it less time intensive, do you feel that our prices are fair?
I look forward to hearing your responses! I hope you have a fabulous week; maybe I’ll see you soon!
Julia
