Q1. What inspired you to get into the food industry?
That day was my parent’s 20th anniversary and we all had gone to one of the restaurant at Kuwait for a family dinner. Those were the days when I was in my late school days and was about to enter in collage to purse my further studies. I was very much impressed with the level of service we got during our family dinner and the delicious food which was served to us, the over all experience was very memorable to us and that inspired me to get into food industry with a simple thought of delivering similar experience which can bring smile to the people with my food and services.

Q5. What are the challenges that you faced while starting/doing this business?
If you’re willing to start a business, there will be many challenges which we have to face. It’s a competitive world and we have to be unique and better than others. I faced challenges when I had to prepare a menu which is different and better then my competitors and offering it in an affordable price to my clients. we had to come up with changes in our menu and service in regular intervals to be in market, if we had sell same service for longer period then we may had lose our credibility.

My advice to the upcoming business owners would be if you are starting up a restaurant or a food business then there should be a proper research of the market and customers of that specific area.
