It takes a Village: Beijing’s biggest ladies night ever?
-
Beijing has a slew of ladies nights — from the longstanding mid-week booty shake at Suzie Wong to the jam-packed Friday booze fest at Tun to newer events at venues such as Xiu and Lan. So, as I sat in Zazou over the weekend and wondered how this new place could distinguish its inevitable ladies night from the competition, I had an idea.
One advantage of Zazou is location: True, it is in a Sanlitun mall but that mall is near ground zero of the city’s most diverse food and beverage scene. So why not team up with the neighbors?
In other words, what if a handful of establishments, or even more, on the third floor of Sanlitun Village held a joint ladies night? Say it’s done on a Tuesday, one of the slower days for some businesses there. What if ladies go to Union and get a free cocktail with any entree, or to Oriental Kitchen and get a sampling menu of three items with any meal, or even get a big discount at Toni & Guy?
Then, instead of jumping into a taxi after dinner and heading to a ladies night, they simply walk over to Zazou to dance in the club or hang out in the lounge. And if hundreds of women descended on Sanlitun Village, don’t you think hundreds of men would follow?
Anyway, just an idea…
No commentsJobs in Beijing: Chefs, restaurant managers, ‘hot’ dancers wanted
-
Despite the global economic slowdown, demand for “hot dancers” continues unabated in China. At least, it seems that way given this China Daily job ad, which also announces the need for a GM, a marketing manager, and foreign pole dancers.
Also of note, Element Fresh is seeking an executive chef for Beijing. The candidate should have at least five years of experience in the kitchen, with at least three of them in management. See more here.
And an unnamed establishment seeks someone be both operations and restaurant manager. According to the ad, “Western restaurants is increasingly gaining popularity in China and considered as trendy if you eat western food or have a western kitchen at home for show. However rarely does Chinese know how to cook, eat, drink or entertain/decorate the way western cultures do. Our restaurant provides a channel not only to dine but to also to teach this life style to the high end Chinese consumers.” See ad here.
