Byblos Cafe Glasgow
Donation protected
Hi All,
As many of you are aware, Byblos Cafe is a small family owned Lebanese cuisine in Glasgow, Scotland. It opened its doors to Glasgow in 2012 and have been serving fresh home made recipes for 8 years.
Between March 2020 and April 2020 the Cafe has took extra pre-cautions and decided to partially shut the cafe due to COVID19. Currently the Cafe operates on deliveries only with our Mother being the only person in the Cafe to prevent any health risks.
Within the time lines mentioned above, Byblos Cafe has been robbed three times and we now feel as if we are personally targeted. The theft back in March was the first time we were robbed since opening the Cafe and we've seen 2 additional robberies within 30 days. The theft included all our delivery couriers such as Ipads, laptops, phones, cash register (cash included), ingredients and items used to cook the food, etc.
We have captured the face of the men behind these robberies on CCTV and provided this information to the police but very little progress has been done due to COVID19.
Additionally, they smashed through our front door on 2 separate occasions where we had to purchase new locks and reinforcement to our front door to continue our services, also hoping it is still a safe environment.
The Gofundme donations will be going towards installing new shutters to ensure no more robberies occur within our Cafe in the future and also re-purchase all our delivery tablets to allow us to continue delivering to everyone in Glasgow.
We thank you for your time and donations, any donations will mean a lot to our family through these tough times.
**UPDATE**
Thanks so much to all the donors who have donated so far, we are far too grateful for your contribution. We've also recently been featured on the Glasgow Times to express our concern on this situation, please see link below.
