Dear Valued Patrons and New Friends,

I've been wanting to write this for a long time.

When I started Sautéo (Formerly Fatt burgers) in 2023, I never imagined we would one day have the privilege of serving so many people. What began in my parents' home in Antipolo eventually became a small makeshift restaurant in San Juan, then found a home at Tita Emma's lanai, and today, by God's grace and because of your unwavering support, we are now in our second location, our first proper restaurant.

Looking back, it still feels surreal.

Since day one, every inquiry, reservation, order, and message on Facebook and Instagram Messenger has been handled by me. There was no customer service team or reservation staff. It was simply me, my phone, and a commitment to make every guest feel valued.

I still remember getting excited over every notification. One message became ten, then hundreds, and eventually thousands of conversations. If you've ever messaged Sautéo, there's a good chance you were talking directly to me.

I never saw replying to your messages as a burden. It allowed me to meet so many wonderful people and watch first-time guests become regulars. For that, I will always be grateful.

As Sautéo continues to grow, I know I can no longer do everything alone. My responsibility today is not only replying to messages, but also making sure our food, service, and experience continue to improve.

That is why we are building Sautéo's official reservation platform with an AI-powered reservation system to make reservations faster, more organized, and more reliable for everyone.

One change we are considering is sending reservation invitations, booking links, confirmations, and updates through email instead of Facebook / Instagram Messenger.

Before we move forward, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you for believing in Sautéo from my parents' home in Antipolo, to San Juan, to Tita Emma's lanai, and now to the restaurant we proudly call home.

None of this would have been possible without you.

With all my gratitude,

Nikko

This is Charize. ❤️

She first joined our waitlist back in May. When it was finally her turn in June, the dates we offered were just a little earlier than her birthday.

Of course, she would've loved to celebrate on her birthday, but she understood how our reservation system works.

She didn't ask us to move her reservation.
She didn't ask us to make an exception.

Instead, she simply chose from the dates we had available.

We really appreciate guests like that.

Later, we found out that her birthday was actually the following week. We felt a little bad because we don't have birthday promos, free desserts, or birthday packages.

So we decided to surprise her with a small birthday greeting. ❤️

After her visit, she sent us one of the sweetest messages, telling us how much she enjoyed the burgers, the team, and the whole experience.

Then she did something that made us smile.

She asked to be added to the waitlist again.

She waited in May.
Visited us in June.
And now, this July, she'll be back again, this time with 2 guests. 🥹

That means so much to us.

Thank you, Charize, for your patience, your kindness, and for choosing Sautéo again. Seeing familiar faces return is one of the greatest compliments we could ever receive.

We can't wait to welcome you both back. ❤️🍔

Something that made me smile today.

Our 3 PM seating today was made up entirely of returning guests. All three groups have dined with us around 2–6 times already, and two of them have been with us since our Lanai days last year.

When I started Sautéo (Fatt Burgers), I was just hoping people would enjoy what we made. I never imagined we'd have guests who would keep coming back and become part of our journey.

There are so many places to eat, so every time someone chooses to return, it means a lot to me and to our small team.

Thank you for trusting us, for supporting us, and for growing with us. We truly appreciate every visit and look forward to seeing you again.

Dear Patrons and New Friends,

Sautéo was never meant to be a typical restaurant. From the beginning, it was built to be intentional, measured, and never rushed.

This is why we operate strictly by reservation through a waitlist, which typically spans 1–2 months. It is not about exclusivity. It is about allowing each guest the time, precision, and experience they deserve. Dates and times are not guaranteed, and access is only given once it is your turn.

We also only produce a limited amount of food and drinks per day, as everything is handcrafted from scratch, fresh, and prepared in real time. This is part of what allows us to maintain quality and consistency in every service.

Recently, I have been meeting more guests at the door hoping to dine without a reservation. While I genuinely appreciate the effort and support, we do not accommodate walk-ins, and these requests will be declined. Accepting walk-ins would be unfair to the guests who have patiently respected the waitlist and are waiting for their turn.

The system we have built is what allows us to maintain the standard we hold ourselves to. It exists to protect the experience without compromise.

More than anything, I ask for respect for the space, for the process, and for the people behind it. This is something we uphold with intention, and we expect the same in return.

Thank you for understanding and for being part of what we are building.

March 30, 2026 was the first company bonding for the business I started three years ago. For the longest time, this was the only kind of break I knew, because everything was about surviving and working every day relentlessly. I have cried many times and went through moments of feeling really low.

That day, we went bowling, shared a feast at Cibo, and talked about life in Dunkin. It made everything even more meaningful for me because 15 years ago, I used to work in Eastwood City. I would go around the area as part of my job, quietly dreaming of building my own company and thinking about how I would take care of my team.

Now I look at where we are, from just the three of us, me and my two brothers, to me and Mitch, and now a growing team. I feel nothing but gratitude. I gave my time, money, and health to build this, and it has not been easy.

We treat our team with quality and respect. We give them time to rest, and we take care of each other. Work harder, play harder. I promised myself that if I ever built something of my own, I would build it with a good culture, and I will continue to stand by that promise.

Thank you Lord. 🥹

March 29 was our last service before our break, and for once we sat down as a team to enjoy what we have been creating every day, a moment that meant a lot to me as we pause from March 30 to April 7 and return on April 8 ready again.

March 29 was our last service before we paused for a while.

That night meant a lot to me. For once, we all sat down and experienced what we have been serving every day. No rush, no pressure just the team enjoying the same food we put so much time and care into.

This is really what Sautéo is to me.

We will be on a short break from March 30 to April 7.
We will be back on April 8, ready again.
