Rice 'n Tings LLC is seeking government grants to fund essential areas of their business development. The requested funding will be allocated to securing license permits, employee training, working capital, repairing and maintaining equipment, and expanding to a physical storefront.
Initially established as a mobile food business, Rice 'n Tings aims to expand over the next five years by forging partnerships as preferred vendors for local event centers and venues. They have successfully become a preferred vendor for Exploration Place in Wichita, KS, and are shifting their focus towards catering services. Additionally, the owners participate in small business seminars and training to enhance their skills and adapt to new challenges.
The application emphasizes their strong performance, featuring a proven menu that is both distinctive and well-received by a loyal customer base. This customer loyalty has been vital as they set up at various locations and cater to events.
In terms of competition, Rice 'n Tings faces challenges from businesses like Noble House Hawaiian Plate Lunch and Wadadli Island Cuisine.
