Businesses are “fortunate” with Guyana’s management of COVID-19 – Jaxx Director

…as restaurant launches new brunch menu

Known for its colourful collection of mouth-watering dishes, Jaxx International Grill launched its new Brunch Menu on Saturday, with an array of options.
The idea for the new exciting menu option, according to Dachin Group of Companies Director Ryan Chin, has been something in the making for a long time. He said that the idea was conceptualised by himself and the managers of Jaxx International Grill, with inspiration even being drawn from their guests.
“It’s actually been something that we’ve planned for quite some time. We wanted something that would give another dimension to Jaxx. Breakfast is something that has been trending a lot internationally, Sundays when used to be that kind of dead-ish day. It’s something that we together with my other managers, ideas from even guests,” Chin said.
Chin explained that he did not just want to recreate another breakfast menu – a popular trend being practiced by many international restaurants – he wanted to create something that would add to the Jaxx experience.
“We sat down, planned it, we didn’t want to bring something that was just a regular breakfast, that you know, we wanted to get the experience when you come to Jaxx. So, we didn’t just want to recreate… We wanted to really do something a little more different,” he said.
Before the execution of the Brunch Menu, Chin related that the pandemic slowed the motion of everything he had planned. Luckily, the restaurant survived, however, it is a work in progress, according to Chin.
“Of course, I mean, everything else, obviously we had plans, the pandemic kind of slowed a little bit of that progression down. It’s gotten now and better… but it’s a work in work in progress.”
Further, the Director noted that he was fortunate with respect to how the COVID-19 pandemic was handled in Guyana.
He revealed that the Jaxx International Grill in Guyana, compared to the one in Trinidad, exhibited more progress during and after the pandemic.
“We are very fortunate that the way Guyana handled the pandemic. I mean, this is just from my opinion, but it was a lot more [good] to the economy. I can actually simply talk that because I also have restaurant and business in Trinidad and it was definitely a lot more, I guess, productive here. Obviously, the beginning stages that affected everybody, they [businesses] had the immediate shutdowns, but it’s been opened up, and the restrictions that they have are still pro-business. So, business has been fairly steady in contrast to what we have in Trinidad and I think that’s been a plus. Now things fully open now, it can only build better from here,” Chin revealed.
The Jaxx International Grill Brunch Menu will be available at its MovieTowne location.
