I and my sister have been raised by a single mother after our daddy passed away while we were young and our mother has worked hard to ensure two of us have access to good education. Also she taught us how to be entrepreneur because she has been running a family business and sometime I used to assist her thus learning a lot from her. After completing college I was employed as a chef in local hotel in Nairobi whereby I am currently working but with my salary I have been saving whereby with the help of my mother who gave me a loan to start medium size hotel whereby I established a hotel and has been in operation for the past two years. I managed to repay the loan and now have some savings which I want to use to expand the hotel to offer also delivery services to adjacent companies and institutions.
My hotel is based in Kahawa West and has been in operation for the past two years. My hotel involves cooking local dishes and I have employed a young man who has adequate skills and experience to cook local food but over the weekend I spend time at the hotel because I am usually free. Customer love my hotel because of good meals and also it's ever clean. I intend to introduce delivery services to the local institutions thus I kindly request the support of Zidisha community to extend loan services to me so that I can realize my goal.
My hotel has been in operation over 2 years and it has many individual customers who frequently visit the place and this is because of the good quality of food prepared and also the place is ever clean. Past few months I have been approached by the administration of 3 local institutions to be offering food delivery services to it's staff and so I need more equipments to provide the services. I have savings which is not enough to provide the delivery services so I wish to request zidisha lenders to extend services to me so that I can purchase 3 dozen of plates at Kshs 4800, 4 dozens of cups at kshs 3330, 4 cooking pots at kshs 5320, 3 serving pots at kshs 3300 and 3 carrying baskets at kshs 2430. After purchasing the above equipments then I will offer delivery services effectively and it will increase my profit also I will continue marketing the hotel so that I can provide more delivery. Food industry is one of the best because on daily basis people have to eat which means sales are made on daily business. Zidisha lenders, please support my business by extending the loan services. Thanks in advance for supporting my loan.
