as some of you may know, my parents own a chinese fastfood place. i am trying to come up a catchy slogan, and a kinda of a logo. we got pandas on our menus and walls, so maybe something along the lines of that. so i figured you guys can provide some input and maybe some monetary gain if i use it.

And i am not using "that wasn't chicken" so we'll strike that off.

EDIT: DUh, i forgot.

Actually, I found one or two of Mobi's suggestions a bit good.

Mobius wrote:"You love to eat,

Mobius wrote:"We're always hot for You!"

Should really be "We're always hot for Yoo!"

"Your wish is our menu"

"100% food - just add mouths."

These are great if you're going for the whole edgy style. Like you want to be the Starbucks (or litte SoHo joint) of the Chinese take-out market.

What's the origin of the word "Kahala"? And may I ask where you're located?

Hey, just have everyone wear one of those orange "Goku uniforms" ... that's Japanese I know, but most Americans won't.

Oh, p.s. I wouldn't recommend doing the the staffs hair like his. The Dept of Health may not like it.

On a serious note, what is the clientel that your folk's place caters to? Is it Asian or American? .. or both.

I ask because I know that there are certain cultral ...oh.. "key idiology" that appeals to much of the Asian culture that most of "us" here don't "get". Like Luck. I've done a little home work several years ago when a number of oriental restuarants opened up with very baddly translated names. Such as "Happy, Joy Luck" .. i was really wtf?! so i did a little poking around and found that things like Luck and Tranquility are important things to that crowd. soo.. is that a factor with your customers?

Ferno · Post by **Ferno** » Mon Aug 30, 2004 11:10 pm

Perhaps DC, but the idea is to sell food and to set yourself apart from the crowd. the edgy starbucks thing is overdone now.

or you could just call yourself the 'gooks of hazzard'.

Ferno, have you ever been to a Chipotle grill? It's a chain Mexican place that's spreading around the U.S. (not sure about Canada) but they have that industrial sheet-metal Lower Manhattan mood, perfect for the food. Lots of dimmed Halogen lamps accenting minimalistic decor, and their claim to fame is that you choose a type of tortilla, a type of meat, and a type of topping, as you walk down the counter. It may sound like a cafeteria but it's amazingly good food. The decor definitely makes it feel less like a chain.

Good points, but no one has bitched about luck and that sorts of stuff. all they want is cheap, good, and plenty of food. which is what we aim for.

How about a Sumo-Panda? .... one bigass Panda in a Sumo thong? .eww.. that doesn't sound pretty, but could be funny.
