Salata The Next Generation Salad Bar

Salata The Next Generation Salad Bar is an advanced healthy restaurant, that provides

good food with a lot of nutrition that can balance your healthy lifestyle. They are new to this, but

I assure you that they are going to be a very huge franchise in the future. Salata provides unique

nutrition for active people to fit their healthy lifestyle. When you walk in to the store, the first

thing you notice is the smell, pure air. Their food is fresh and they dont grill anything, except the

Chicken. They mainly have salads and wraps. After noticing that, you go through the lobby, it is

really organized and all of the equipment are matching. Tables and chairs are matching, they

have that good new fashion style with solid decorations, walls were solid colors, dark purple to

be specific and the first thing you notice on the walls was the name logo Salata and on the

other side it says look goodfeel goodeat good. It is very unique, because most restaurants

will have their menus hanging on the walls, so thats something different.

When you want to order your food, you need to start off in a line or at the beginning of

the bar and choose whatever you want on your salad or wrap (burrito). They have all kinds of

toppings, literally everything you can imagine from Vegetables to Fruits to different kinds of

protein. They have 4 different kinds of Chicken, the Regular, Pesto, Spicy and BBQ, they also

have Turkey if you want your thanksgiving to be healthy. They have seafood and vegan, for the

seafood part you have Shrimp, Crabmeat and Salmon, for vegan they provide Quinoa, Tofu and

Falafel. They have infinite options for everything, but you need to make up your mind as you go

through the journey. Dont forget the Dressings, its the heart of the salad, they have more than

10 dressings with different flavors. After choosing your protein, you can add a soup to your

salad/wrap to make it a combo, they have the Tomato Basil, Chipotle White Bean and Broccoli

soup. They are all delicious, but again you have to make up your mind. At the end you can add

bread or crackers or even seeds to your salad to color it a bit. Thats how you make a great

salad/wrap at Salata. It is a little bit pricey, but its worth it, eating healthy is really important for

your body. They also have their signature drinks, they have teas and lemonades and they are

organic, the Raspberry lemonade is my favorite.

I also interviewed a worker at Salata and she explained to me how they make and prepare

food and serve it to the customers, what do they do behind the scenes. The first thing they do is

to prepare food every morning, so they can serve it fresh. Later on, grill the chicken and marinate

it with different flavors. They need to prepare the line to put in the toppings, and lastly prepare

drinks and put them outside for the customers. This process can take up to 2 hours, it depends on

the workers, how they work and how fast they do their jobs correctly, it takes more time if they

are training new employees. As you order your food, the employees have a limit on how much

they can spend on each order as they go along, but generally their limit is 2 minutes, this means

that they are fast enough to finish food orders on a busy day.

The reason Salata exist in our area, is to guide people how they can be on a diet without

falling behind. Salata brings people together, from kids to elders. I have found out that their busy

hours; they are between 12-2, 6-8. They open every day from 11-9 except Sunday from 12-7, a

lot of people come during these busy hours, because they are leaving work to eat lunch and at

night to eat dinner. You can also notice how elders come in to Salata more than others, even more

than the people who go to the gym. And the reason behind this, is to keep them healthy and keep

out diseases that are found in their bodies. Salata cant be found everywhere, it has specific

locations and it is limited. For example, Salata is mostly located in Texas and California, it was

originated in Texas and now its spreading around all over the country. Not a lot of people knew

about Salata, yes, it was founded in 2005, but it wasnt popular back then. I personally didnt

know about Salata until I worked there, my friends told me about it, but I didnt care. Now

everybody I know goes to Salata and gets a healthy dinner.

When Salata first opened here in the Valley, everybody wanted to try it, they wanted new

things, people were tired of their usual eating habits, so thats why Salata got a little successful

during the past few years. They still have competitors, but they are capable of reaching

something big in the future, and open more stores and fulfill what people want. They have good

products, they are not organic, but it can satisfy people and their eating habits. As you know,

everything comes with negativity and positivity, well we talked about the positivity, now lets

talk about whats negative. Salata is kind of pricey in a way that it can turn peoples minds to the

worst, a lot of people complain about these high prices and they are not getting the high quality

of food, in other words, not organic, or they need to pay more for the protein, some say its not

enough, well I disagree with this situation. The owner has to pay for all of these products, it is his

right to raise the prices, because he is paying more for the products itself. So how is he going to

make the profit out of this, if hes going to serve the food prep in lower prices, it is common

sense. But you cant satisfy all of the people that go to Salata, and thats why Salata gets a lot of

complains.

Salata The Next Generation Salad Bar is a place where you can eat what you want

with low calories, nothing will hurt you but it will benefit you in many ways, people go to the
 Ajina 4

gym and thats good, but you need nutrient, and for that you can go to Salata to eat healthy and

be healthy. Salata provides varies of nutrient facts that can help your body grow healthy and

develop a healthy lifestyle. I personally go to Salata to enjoy a healthy meal, knowing that it can

give me protein and vitamins that are useful to my body. Some people go to Salata to enjoy a

healthy meal and proceed with their diets, they visit Salata daily to balance the food and what

they put in their stomach. Salata can develop a habit between people where they can meet new

friends, friends that go with you to the gym and develop a healthy relationship.
