Why start a restaurant venture?
During an interview with Daniel Ndambuki on the journey series that aired on Churchill show, the 41 year old revealed that he got the idea of starting a side hustle during the pandemic after his salary was slashed by 50 percent in 2020.
“This business came about in 2020 during the pandemic. Our employers slashed our salaries by half when the pandemic struck the country. I was left with two options at my disposal; either I go back to my wife and tell her that we need to adjust our lifestyle because we do not have 50 percent of our income or I find ways to raise the money elsewhere. I chose the latter and first opened the car wash before beginning to construct the restaurant in Mid-2020,” he said during the show.
Since its launch, the restaurant has become a favorite spot to many residents of Kitengela who often visit to have a taste of Coastal cuisines nearer.
