About Me

I would describe myself as a very determined and highly motivated person. I depend on my business as my source of income. I do take my business seriously and I’m able to see things in perspective and believe I’m quite easy-going to work with. I’m an entrepreneurial who is result-oriented and I cope well when the going gets tough; I’m very good at finding solutions to problems.
Above all, I would say I’m a positive and enthusiastic person and very passionate in cooking. I really enjoy when people are excited about my food.
My biggest motivation is getting innovative food menus that will Wow my customers and make them to order for more.

My Business

Sizzle Kitchen, a new food delivery company was launched in January 2016, by me when I realized most professionals who have a busy schedule and do not have time to cook. Most were my friends who were not aware of the availability of such services. This gave birth to the concept of food delivery services from my home kitchen. After some intense planning and great ideas from close friends, Sizzle Kitchen was hashed out and the dream was realized.
Currently am the marketing officer and have one delivery person.
I have received overwhelming support from my customers. With this positive response, I aim to take food delivery to a level where your favorite cuisine can be delivered to your doorstep, is only a phone call, an email, or an sms/text away.
I do not have enough cash to sustain the business, hence requesting for loan.

Loan Proposal

If granted the loan, I will use the money to buy a fridge that will be helpful in storing my food deliveries. Am having a challenge as I have to deliver them while frozen in order be at room temperature.

    Hi Ienders, I am excited to share with you on how my sizzle kitchen business is progressing. Recently I have received referrals from my previous customers. During the holidays, I introduced my prospective customers with precooked samosas whereby they can deep fry at the comfort of their houses. Due to this demand, storage of the samosas has been a major challenge since I have to delivery while frozen. I therefore need to buy a bigger fridge that is 15cuft to cater for the storage space.

    I appreciate my lenders for giving me the opportunity to follow my passion and start a business which was conceptualized from my home kitchen. In this festive season I had the opportunity to make snacks such as precooked samosas and offer in-house catering services. Thanks a lot.

    Thank you lenders for empowering me with money to boost my catering business. I am ecstatic that am able to repay my loan timely. During this festive season, one on my clients requested me to offer catering services for their office party. It was overwhelming as I have never done such a mega event. I took the challenge and it was successful. Now I can confidently do and looking forward to expanding business by buying more business equipment. Thank you

    Thanks to Zidisha. I have managed to get a clientele of professionals who are busy and have no time to cook. My next strategy is to make a weekly meal plan for them.
