Business Description
Banquet Server LLC , is a staffing company that will provide servers for all occasions and all sizes of parties, from formal weddings to corporate events. For the past year, I have been running a business called Banquet Server Training where I teach people how to be banquet servers. They go on to get jobs at banquet halls, and I believe starting a company utilizing my skills as a chef, and their skills as servers, would help us to create business in Philadelphia.
We have not started the catering component of the business yet due to some capital restrictions, but we will be sure to only prepare our food with the freshest ingredients, and in a warm atmosphere. All staff will be certified ServSafe to handle the foods – and we will meet the needs of all of our clientele, ranging from meat lovers to vegans!
What is the purpose of this loan?
What is the purpose of this loan?
Right now, we have crafted menus for the business, and have many contacts at banquet halls to be able to secure catering deals. We are also registered with the City of Philadelphia, and in the state as a minority owned business.
The only thing holding us back from starting is being able to purchase equipment to keep our buffet food warm. Without the right equipment, the food will get cold and be unpleasant for the guests. This Kiva Zip loan will help me purchase all the equipment I need to be able to start accepting catering contracts.
