Fast-Casual, Jamaican Restaurant, Jrk! Expands with New Downtown Location

The second location will unveil a new breakfast menu and unique designs rooted in Jamaican tradition.

It was four years ago that the beloved, fast-casual Jamaican restaurant Jrk! first opened its Aventura Mall doors — winning over the Miami community with its traditional and authentic Jamaican cuisine packed full of flavor, heart, and soul. Last October 2023, the team expanded with its second location and first standalone space at 95 NW 1st St in the heart of Downtown Miami.

The new 2,518-square-foot space boasts 52 indoor seats, exuding a nostalgic vibrance with a distinctive design. With the interplay of renowned local and Jamaican artwork, ceramic tile, and rustic furniture, the design elements truly celebrate Jamaican culture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that transports you to a bygone era of the island’s rich culture.

Jrk! was born the Jamaican way — out of passion. Peak pandemic, the first Jrk! location opened in 2020 – the brainchild of Chef Wayne Sharpe, Kavan Burke, Annie Cassius, and Harrison Bernstein — two Jamaicans and Miami natives with a passion for hospitality and a goal to restore Caribbean flavor to the city of Miami.

While Jrk! pushes the boundaries with flavor, they hand-pick each item on their menu to radiate wellness and provide health-conscious selections for vegans, vegetarians, and meat-eaters alike. No frills, just down-to-earth good food.

“With an eagerness to bring Caribbean customs to the world, we exploded onto the scene in true island style, with open arms and broad smiles. Our concept is authentic, seasoned with family tradition, and made fresh with local ingredients, honoring classic Caribbean tastes with nourishing Jamaican staples.” said Business Director, Kavan Burke.

The menu will maintain its build-your-own bowl offerings, carefully crafted to reflect Jamaican traditions by sourcing ingredients locally in South Florida or Jamaica. You will find all the bestsellers, including homemade Jamaican Patties, Pineapple Plantains, Chef Wayne’s signature Oxtail, and of course, their famous Jerk Chicken. In addition to serving fast-casual lunch and dinner items, the team is unveiling a new breakfast menu. Look out for Jamaican breakfast patties, Blue Mountain coffee, and fresh pastries, which will be available through their ‘patty window,’ opening at 8am Monday-Friday and 12pm Saturday-Sunday.

The team will also be introducing ‘The Shack’ in their new location, a neighborhood hangout rooted in culture and community. Emerging in true Jamaican fashion, with open arms and broad smiles, The Shack will be a vibrant and dynamic speakeasy tucked away behind the restaurant. As Max Pierre, the passionate general manager for The Shack, exclaims, “We’re excited to bring an eclectic, honest, and relevant concept to Downtown. Brace yourself for an exquisite culinary adventure, expertly crafted cocktails, an ambiance reminiscent of bygone eras, and a soulful musical journey.”

“Food is our foundation, and flavor is our expression. We’re welcoming hosts that never make you feel like a guest. Come for lunch, stay for dinner, leave with extras, however, you decide, we’re excited to welcome you into our community,” said President, Harrison Bernstein.

Jrk! is open from 8am-9pm Monday-Friday and 12pm-9pm Saturday-Sunday.

Bayo has maintained a consistent upward projection transitioning from a sole proprietor to a 10-man delivery squad across Houston & Dallas, Texas, amassing a combined 80k+ organic following across the growing social platforms mainly in the last two years. The group has since established its vision by facilitating multiple initiatives including hosting the 2022 premier edition of the Credit Repair & Homebuying seminar.

Bayo is also an avid supporter of empowerment initiatives and receives great satisfaction in guiding people from their first or dream purchase to sizeable investment sales/profits.

Born and raised in Nigeria, Adebayo immigrated to the United States in 2013, seeking new opportunities and a chance to pursue his dreams. Initially, he earned a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner license, but his passion for real estate led him down a different path. In 2014, Adebayo started learning about real estate investing and soon became a real estate investor in Houston, Texas. In 2019, he became a real estate agent, and currently leads a team of real estate agents with eXp Realty LLC.

Adebayo believes in the power of education and wants to provide others with the tools they need to succeed in their own real estate ventures and life in general.

For Mr. Adebowale, success is not solely about wealth accumulation or financial achievements. He believes that true success is measured by the positive impact one can make on others’ lives and the legacy they leave behind. Through his non-profit organization, Empower Future Leaders, Adebayo strives to empower individuals, to realize their full potential and achieve their dreams.

The President of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), Stephanie Cirami, stated: “Choosing Mr. Adebowale for this honor was an easy decision for our panel to make. He is inspirational, influential, and a true visionary and thought leader. We cannot wait to meet him and celebrate his accomplishments at this year’s gala.”

Looking back, Mr. Adebowale attributes his mindset as it is a crucial factor in starting a successful business.

Konvex (Formerly Wihom) Embarks on a Transformative Journey to Conquer the U.S. Market

MIAMI, FL – As we delve into the history and triumphs of Konvex (formerly Wihom), a revolutionary software originating in Latin America, CEO and Co-Founder Joan Rodriguez unveils an exciting chapter – the strategic expansion into the U.S. market. This bold move marks a pivotal moment in the company’s journey, solidifying its commitment to providing transformative financial solutions globally.

Joan Rodriguez’s entrepreneurial journey began at university, where he immersed himself in innovation fairs and supported peers as a class assistant on the subject of Innovation and Business Models. This early exposure laid the foundation for his future endeavors and led him to become an associate practitioner in the Innovation area of Enel, a multinational electric utility company. His dedication to incubating ideas and supporting innovative projects propelled him to international recognition, positioning Colombia as the most innovative country within the entire Enel group.

Joan’s journey continued with involvement in ambitious global projects, including an innovative AI-powered robot capable of detecting toxic gases in hydroelectric plants. This impactful project set the stage for his foray into the realms of E-commerce, subscriptions, and financial products. Identifying challenges in reconciliation with ERPs, Joan collaborated with startups, executed successful projects totaling over $2 million, and became a leader in collaborative projects in Colombia.

Driven by the persistent challenge of reconciliation in E-commerce, Joan’s quest led him to co-founder and current CTO, Cristobal Sosa. Together, they founded Wihom, later rebranded as Konvex, with a vision to simplify the reconciliation process. Despite initial hurdles, including securing investment from former bosses and pitching at Parallel18, the software gained momentum. Wihom secured $150,000 in Puerto Rico, attracted key investors, and raised a pre-seed round of $700,000 from VC investors and angels.

Konvex’s impact has been felt across various sectors, showcasing success stories such as seamless integration for a global e-commerce giant, efficient ERP integration for multinational corporations, and aiding startups in rapid growth phases. Notable achievements include onboarding over 70 clients in more than five countries, providing API support to major fintechs with a combined debt coverage exceeding $100 million, and developing the world’s first AI-driven underwriting product based in Latin America.

The journey from university innovation fairs to global entrepreneurship has positioned Konvex as a trailblazer in the financial management sector, with a vision to make accounting processes seamless and efficient for companies worldwide.
