Well, here is a hearty huzzah and “good thinking!” to this plucky restaurant in Malaga, Spain. They won’t need good luck, though, as they have been using this unique business model for decades and it not only survives, it thrives. As you’ll soon see, it has a loyal following trailing out the door and all the way onto the beach.
What could this be, you ask? The one and only, legendary El Tintero. Behold the plate auction. To set the stage, El Tintero has a “humble” but fantastically successful business model. It’s a fairly simple idea to grasp but, boy does it work, apparently.
The waiters will go around you “calling out” the dishes that are available at that moment. The first patron to raise their hand gets the portion. But don’t worry, there’s food for everyone.
Their system is so fast and efficient that you’ll have the food and drink on your table even before you sit down, if you want. No more waiting to eat. It’s a dream come true.
And, it literally is on the beach in Malaga, Spain. Full tummy, you can knee-walk straight into the sand and roll around in joy with your new favourite Spanish restaurant.
