Well, a little update for ya’ll!!
I have spent the summer compiling a “Grant Portfolio” that I feel is really exceptional. It has my story, my mission statements and goals, projections for earnings and growth, a Community Meal Program, customer reviews and testimonials (thanks to soooo many of you who contributed to that and who have commented, messaged me over the years such sweet things that I have saved and documented).
And I have compiled a very detailed list of equipment and infrastructure needed to launch Homemade Takeout under Utah’s Microenterprise Home Kitchen requirements.
With all of that, I’ve begun applying for grants to help me get Homemade Takeout relaunched.
So a website is coming, where orders will be placed. When that gets set up, I’ll let you know, but I’ll continue to use my social media pages to advertise meals and offer behind the scenes videos and pictures.
What’s next? I’m working on my Food Handlers Manager Certification, adjusting recipes for future meal offerings, and finalizing all the business things and inspections we will need to have in place before I can begin cooking.
Love you all!! Thanks for the support! Here’s a short video of some enchiladas I made recently, and if anyone knows of any small business grants, let me know!
