In the age of Twitter, you had better bring you’re ‘A’ game. Especially if you’re opening a new restaurant.
The highly anticipated opening of Blu LA Café next to Cole’s in Downtown Los Angeles is today. From the tweets of @5thandspring, it isn’t going so well:
- heading over to blu la cafe to pick up lunch for me and @jimw about 1 hour ago from web
- Waiting to order lunch at Blu LA Cafe about 1 hour ago from twitterrific
- Lots of nervous energy from the waitstaff and owners. No turkey panini today, they don’t know their menu yet. Stressing me out. 42 minutes ago from twitterrific
- Blu LA Cafe messed ip my order so leaving to to to Raw Materials empty-handed. 31 minutes ago from twitterrific
- 30 minutes later and Blu LA Cafe hasn’t delivered the lunch order they took 20 minutes to screw up. Phone goes straight to voicemail. 9 minutes ago from twitterrific
UPDATE (2:07):
- Blu LA Cafe completely forgot about the order I’ve been waiting 1.5 hours for. FAIL.
damn…I thought our reviews were brutal, twitter is so right now real time they are toast. Not much of a chance to recover or make it a win. Day 2 is just going to suck.
