Description:
Isn't it interesting how almost every great business starts with someone who had barely enough to survive. That's because hunger fuels passion and passion leads to innovation. That's how Bapu's Food Stop started. My husband and I, a young newlywed couple, moved to Florida to find our future, as I spent my days studying for my future career, my husband struggled to support us by jumping from job to job. One day my husband came back from his long and exhausting day at work and I could tell he had had enough. “What do you want to do? What will make you happy?” I asked him concerned, he was making one of his famous chicken sandwiches and he looked at me and replied, “I'm not working for anyone else anymore, I'm going to make my sandwiches for others and we'll figure it out.” I tried not to laugh, I knew he was just tired, but he was serious and he followed through. Almost a year from that day we are now proud owners of a humble sandwich shop located inside a gas station, we have our regular customers and hardly anyone can resist my husbands delicious sandwiches. Yes, it was extremely difficult at the beginning, we changed the menu several times, we listened to our customers and we adapted to their wants. Although my husband is currently the only employee at our shop, handling everything from the cooking, the shopping and the sales, he is working for himself and that is what he was determined to do. Our experience lead us to come up with a business idea like no other. An idea that will allow hard working people to be able to work for themselves and control their income with the amount of work they put in. The idea is very simple and it has a small secret, this idea that has the potential to spread throughout the state and even one day the whole nation! So what are we raising money for? We are raising money in order to be able to kick start this idea for others and support them. This way we will help people who want to be self-employed but who cannot afford investing their own money. What do we gain? We spread our delicious food and gain the satisfaction of watching others experience independent working and growth. We hope you like our story and that we have triggered your interest. More details of the business plan will be provided upon request. Help us help others as soon as possible!  We appreciate your help!
