UNAPOLOGETIC NOODLES AND SOUP IN NASHVILLE, TN

WE HATE QR CODES TOO SOMETIMES, BUT BECAUSE WE SHARE OUR DINING SPACE THIS IS THE BEST WAY FOR US TO GET YOU FED AND HAPPY. THE SEATING IS FIRST COME FIRST SERVE, WE RECOMMEND GRABBING A TABLE, THEN GRAB A BEER AND SOME SODA POP AT THE BAR, THEN PLACE YOUR FOOD ORDER THROUGH THE QR CODE AT YOUR TABLE. WE ALSO RECOMMEND PUTTING YOUR TABLE'S ORDER ON ONE TICKET IF POSSIBLE, THIS ENSURES THAT YOUR GROUP'S MEAL COMES OUT AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU CAN ALL EAT AND SLURP JOYOUSLY TOGETHER. ALSO THE QR CODE HAS A TABLE NUMBER ON IT, IT IS SPECIFIC TO THAT TABLE, SO PLEASE TRY NOT TO SWITCH TABLES OR GRAB OTHER QR CODES WILLY NILLY IF YOU CAN HELP IT, WE KNOW YOU CAN.

WE HAPPILY SHARE THE SPACE WITH THE LEGENDS AT BEARDED IRIS BREWERY, WHO GRACIOUSLY ASKED US TO BE APART OF THEIR NEW TAPROOM AS THEY CRAFT SOME OF THE BEST BEER IN TOWN, AND WE CONTINUE OUR MISSION OF SPREADING NOODLE HAVOC. WITH THAT BEING SAID, WE ARE TWO SEPARATE BUSINESSES SHARING THE SAME SPACE, WE CAN'T TAKE YOUR FOOD AND DRINK ORDER AT THE SAME TIME. THEY THRIVE AND ARE ABLE TO KEEP GIVING YOU THE BEST BEER AND SODA POP WHEN YOU COME UP TO THE BAR AND ORDER FROM THE BEAMING BEAUTIFUL BARTENDERS AND WE CONTINUE OUR CALLING TO SPREAD THE RAMEN GOSPEL WHEN YOU ORDER FOOD THROUGH THE QR CODE AT YOUR TABLE. 

MOST IMPORTANTLY, THOUGH WE MAY NOT TAKE YOUR ORDER OR SEAT YOU, WE STRIVE TO GIVE OUR GUESTS THE BEST SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE WE CAN BY ANTICIPATING YOUR NEEDS AND HAVING A SERVICE & HOSPITALITY FOCUSED CULTURE IN OUR SPACE.

TO EXPLAIN, WE MADE THE DECISION TO ADD AUTO SERVICE CHARGE TO YOUR ORDER WHEN WE MOVED LOCATIONS FOR A FEW REASONS. 

1. WE GIVE THIS SERVICE CHARGE TO OUR WHOLE TEAM, BUSSERS, FOOD RUNNERS, COOKS, DISHWASHERS, NOODLE MAKERS, ETC.... NOT JUST OUR FRONT OF HOUSE STAFF WHO GREETS YOU, BUSSES YOUR TABLE, BRINGS YOU YOUR FOOD, AND CHECKS IN ON YOUR EXPERIENCE. AUTO SERVICE CHARGE GIVES OUR WHOLE STAFF A REAL QUALITY OF LIFE. AND ISN'T THAT AWESOME?! WHEN YOU EAT AT BLACK DYNASTY YOU ARE CONTRIBUTING NOT ONLY TO A SMALL BUSINESS THAT HAS BIG DREAMS, BUT A WHOLE TEAM THAT HAS BIG DREAMS TOO. PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKE WORKING HERE! AND THAT'S THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GOOD RESTAURANT AND A BAD RESTAURANT. IF THE STAFF ISN'T TAKEN CARE OF, THERE'S DEFINITELY NO WAY YOU, OUR LOVELY GUEST WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE SAME WAY.

2. WE TYPICALLY ASSOCIATE TIPPING IN AMERICA WITH QUALITY OF SERVICE, WHICH IN AN INDUSTRY WHERE SERVERS MAKE LESS THAN $3 AN HOUR THERE'S A REASON WHY 20% IS SEEN AS THE SOCIAL STANDARD. BUT IT TAKES A LOT MORE WORK TO MAKE THAT FOOD THAN JUST TAKING AN ORDER AND BRINGING YOU TO YOUR TABLE. HENCE WHY WE DISTRIBUTE THE SERVICE CHARGE TO THE WHOLE TEAM, PAY THEM ABOVE MINIMUM WAGE, AND SHARE THE SERVICE CHARGE EQUALLY. BECAUSE EVERYONE CONTRIBUTED TO THAT SMALL PLATE, DESSERT, OR BOWL OF RAMEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO EAT. IT TAKES THE SAME AMOUNT OF WORK WITH TAKEOUT AND DELIVERY RAMEN. IF YOU MAKE EVEN JUST A SINGLE BOWL OF RAMEN, WITH ALL THE COMPONENTS, IT TAKES A MINIMUM OF 2-3 DAYS. NOW IMAGINE WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE A LOT OF RAMEN.

3. LONG STORY SHORT, WE LOVE OUR TEAM, AND OUR TEAM LOVES YOU. IT'S A NEVERENDING CYCLE OF YUM AND LOVE. 

KIDS ARE THE FUTURE! AND THEY DESERVE NOODLES TOO! WE ARE A FAMILY FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT,  AND AN ALL INCLUSIVE SAFE SPACE. WE EVEN HAVE KIDS CHOPSTICKS! 

YOUR FUR BABIES CAN ONLY BE ON THE PATIO UNLESS THEY'RE A SERVICE ANIMAL. 

MAKE SURE YOUR BABY PET OCTOPUS IS A SERVICE OCTOPUS, THANK YOU.
