Zito Co. Taking on New Life
July 15—Three months ago, Italian Restaurant Zito Co. was on the verge of bankruptcy. Despite its terrific chef, owner Clemente Zito, the business hadn’t made a profit in three years. Situated outside of the downtown area, it wasn’t able to draw enough customers. Clemente Zito could not afford to move the business to the center of the city, and his dreams of owning a successful restaurant started to look impossible.
But then, the business received unexpected attention at the Annual Cinema Awards. When accepting an award for his role in Coastal Crisis, James King mentioned that he would celebrate by having dinner at his favorite restaurant, Zito Co. Since that time, the restaurant has become a hot spot for fine dining. To keep up with the demand, Zito has hired 20 more servers and 5 additional chefs. He is also making arrangements to open a second restaurant in September.
Zito is excited about the opportunities his success has granted, and he wants to give back to the community. He is currently in the process of starting a charity that would offer free training in food handling and preparation. He hopes this would allow low-income individuals to learn skills that could be useful for getting a job in the food industry. |
