Doha: Across the country, the novel coronavirus has closed countless restaurants, temporarily or permanently. Yet, even as the future for food businesses looks dire and restaurants struggle to attain financial support, Go Home Cafe was still able to open their doors against economic headwinds. This cafe is known for being focused on a healthy, seasonal menu in a relaxed, eco-friendly space, and also jumped into the grab-and-go model to provide an even quicker option for those truly on the go.
After opening their first branch last November 2020, GoHome! has been a success and became one of the most famous cafe in Msheireb Downtown. The success of this cafe continued as they finally opened small kiosks located in QFC (Qatar Financial Center) & MOD (Ministry of Defense) last June.
“Life is always full of surprises! Twists, turns, new opportunities and after all the hardworks finally, we are happy to say that we have opened another home,” said Khaled Alrayes, Co-Founder of GoHome! Fresh Food & Co.
On July 5, they announced that they have opened another home for everyone. GoHome! Al Aziziya Branch is now officially open wherein you can enjoy their signature foods & drinks including their new summer drinks such as Watermelon Lemonade, Strawberry Passion Iced Tea and their Berry Smoothie. As per Khaled and Chef Asmaa they will also introduce their summer box that will surely excite everyone.
“Opening another restaurant is a risky venture, but I have been very optimistic since we started this and looking on the brighter side always motivates us to keep innovating our business. I have felt the love and support of everyone as the first week of the new branch has been a success”. - Chef Asmaa, Co-Founder of GoHome! Fresh Food & Co.
Most of the people believed that opening a new branch with a grab-and-go might be a waste but not for this cafe as they believe that most of the people like the option to sit and enjoy their meal, but also appreciate the convenience of having something already completely prepared, delicious, and ready to go out the door immediately. They have always believed that consumer demands for greater convenience are inexorable, as evidenced by the rapid growth of online ordering, curbside service, and immediate delivery. Locals & Expatriates want restaurant-quality food, upscale, and they want everything they could order from a menu in a grab-and-go option.
Commenting about how far can the grab-and-go trend go, Khaled said “The key is very simple and it’s the humble experimentation and honest judgment of your own creations. If it works, pat yourself on the back and be happy how it turns out, If it doesn’t, get back to the chopping board.”
The newest branch in Aziziya is operating from 8:30am up until 12 midnight wherein you can go to their spacious parking that allows you to enjoy any product from their cafe in the comfort of your car, safely and risk-free.
