What is your biggest success?
My biggest success has been stabilizing TnT Fast Foods into a consistent revenue - generating brand while running on limited resources. I've built a loyal customer base, secured delivery partnerships and introduced high margin signature meals that drive repeat business During Covid and Post Covid while supporting my family, pursuing my education and just being a young woman figuring out life on God's green earth that is flouting in space.
Despite challenges, I've trained staff, optimized costs and kept the business alive during economic uncertainty. What I'm most proud of is transforming a humble street food vision into a growing operation with potential to franchise.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
My biggest hurdle has been balancing growth with financial limitations. With minimal startup capital, I've had to be resourceful doing everything from marketing to operations while navigating pricing pressures, supplier inconsistencies and rising food costs. Hiring and retaining reliable staff has also been a challenge especially with limited payroll flexibility. Yet, I've turned these obstacles into motivation, constantly refining my systems, improving efficiency and building a stronger, leaner business model.
