Conflict KitchenConflict Kitchen.

This restaurant is in Philadelphia. They have an interesting approach to food. They only offer items on their menu from countries or regions where the U.S. refuses to do business.

They choose one country and base all their meals, restaurant atmosphere, and decoration around that country. Every couple of months they change the country and transform not only the menu, but the restaurant too.

Their aim is to get people thinking and talking about what is happening in other places and maybe even what could be done to make the world a better place.


McDonald’s in SpainMcDonald’s in Spain.

Apparently the free Wi-Fi in the McDonald’s was a big draw, but not for McDonald’s. It seems many customers were eating at the diner across the street and making use of McD’s free Wi-Fi.

Deciding they wanted to get some benefit for the service they offered, McDonald’s began running coupons through their Wi-Fi network for the diner’s customers to begin making their way across the street.It worked brilliantly for them.


Have you picked up any ideas for your business? It doesn’t even have to be a restaurant. Is there a service you could provide to easily entice your customers without giving them a feeling of risk? Or, maybe there’s something you can do to get people thinking about events around the world.
