# Popoca

Salvadoran roots, California grown. A vibrant live fire restaurant in Oakland.

## Elevator pitch
Popoca serves Salvadoran-inspired food. Our mission is to find and preserve techniques from the past to bring you a new and authentic experience in Oakland. Inspired by traditional wood-fire cooking and recipes. Popoca translates this into a sit-down restaurant serving dinner 5 nights a week, and a late-night bar.

## Q&A
- Q: how do you guys have 3 questions and can't respond. want to invest but i can't until i get a response and todd had a great question too. responding to people in a timely manner is a good thing. makes people wonder if they do invest if you will continue the same thing. thanks
- Q: Hello. Are you currently operating in any capacity? Is this for a purely new location or is it for a renovation? How much time are you expecting before you will be fully operational? Thanks!
- Q: Geez, no response after a month to a previously asked question, I guess I will look elsewhere
- Q: what will you do if you don't reach goal?
- Q: Are you looking for more investors? If yes, contact me now!!! www.fiverr.com/marhmzy
- Q: When will you file Form C Disclosures?
- Q: We want to know what you see your valuation will look like in 3 years also the income and balance statements Not to say much, I think we are very much interested in this project but then we are not opting for the crowdfunding route. We were wondering if you have provisions to accept alternative financing which should save time of WAITING SO LONG for your target to be met. With that we can cover over 50% of your target raise. Kindly reach out to me at thomas@700capital.se so we discuss further.
