WE HAVE CLOSED.
It was a very sad day for me on Friday because I closed the door for the last time.
Some of you might remember that one week after I opened the food trailer we went into lock down. It has been a struggle to keep the doors open during the last 9 months. I have sold my motorbike, My boat, all my musical instruments and borrowed more money than I should have. I have received no government support throughout covid because I was a new business and didn't qualify. Finally it was all too much.
I made the decision to close because I can't see a light at the end of the tunnel. The cost of produce has increased up to 400% in some cases and it can't be passed on to you guys. Wages have just gone up, Super is going up again and I received a notice of an increase in electricity and gas of nearly 15%. I will not be the only business to close due to these increases.
Anyhoo.... I just want to say thankyou to everyone who supported me during these last 9 months. I have to say, I never expected to get such delight from people enjoying my food. It's the main reason I kept going. Hearing someone say how much they liked the meal they just had was very special to me.
I have approached the whole challenge with a sense of humour from the beginning because I wanted people to have a smile on their face before they tried my food. I think food is always enjoyed more when we are happy. So I did get to see a lot of smiles when people read my menus and a lot of happy conversation at tables when discussing it. I will miss that.
I WILL MISS MY STAFF. You guys have been awesome.
Ava, you will rule the world one day I am sure. If not then some other huge entity. Your maturity and wisdom is far beyond your years. Its hard to believe someone your age could have such a huge impact on someone's circumstances. I owe you so much. Thank you
Jaida, I saw you grow and accomplish things that you didn't believe you could. I hope you will take that away from your time with us, grab life by the horns and show it how strong you can be. You are a tough little bu**er.
Max, Amy, Liz, Brianna, Tahlia, Taya, Elly, you all were a part of something I will always remember. Thankyou.
Blossom, Thank you. You gave so much time and support, there is so much that wouldn't have been done if not for you. I hope you can find far bigger an better things in the near future.
Thank you everyone, and remember
OBEY YOUR STOMACH!
