Hello everyone!
Hope all are safe and well! πβ€π
As of today, thereβs still no update about the BBQ stall slot that I am praying and hoping for. Still, even without confirmation, my heart is already excited. Maybe thatβs just how I am, once I start dreaming about something, I canβt stop imagining it becoming real. πͺπ
Even though I donβt have the stall yet, I already started creating the business name and designing the tarpaulin. Some people might say itβs too early, but for me, itβs a sign of faith. I am preparing as if itβs already mine. ππ
At first, the name that came into my mind was Shikikaβs BBQ Delights with the tagline Taste The Delight In Every Bite! I smiled when I thought of it. It sounds sweet, inviting, and something I would personally stop by if I saw it on the street. Of course, I also thought about a promo that would attract customers. Since rice is life for us Filipinos, I decided on unli rice for β±100 worth of BBQ purchase per pax. I can already imagine customers enjoying their meals with extra rice and smiling because they feel satisfied. π
But then, another idea popped into my mind. Why limit it to BBQ when I am also selling fried chicken? Thatβs when I decided to improve the name into Shikikaβs BBQ & Fried Chicken Delights. It feels more complete. It shows exactly what I want to offer. Same tagline, same promo, it is just bigger and better.
I tried enhancing the design, making it bolder and more eye-catching. I imagined it printed on a big tarpaulin, hanging in front of my stall, with smoke from the grill rising in the air. The colors need to be strong. The letters need to stand out. Because if I want customers to notice me, I need to look ready and confident. π
But beyond the tarpaulin and the name, I know the real challenge is the food and the service. Having a catchy banner is not enough. I need to make sure that my BBQ is tender, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. The fried chicken must be crispy outside and juicy inside. And most importantly, I need to serve customers with a smile. π
Deep inside, this business dream is more than just selling food. Itβs about helping myself grow. Itβs about stepping out of fear and trying again. As someone who has experienced setbacks and silent battles, starting something new feels scary but exciting at the same time. I know it wonβt be easy. There will be long hours of preparation, smoke in my eyes while grilling, tired arms, and maybe days with slow sales. But I am willing to try. πͺ
Maybe this waiting season is teaching me patience. Maybe God is checking if Iβm really serious about this. And I believe that preparation is never wasted. Even if the stall is not yet confirmed, I am already building the vision in my heart. π
Of course, I still need to discuss everything with my partner. This is not a one-person decision. I want us to agree on the name, the promo, and the whole plan. But I am grateful that even at this stage, I feel motivated and hopeful. πͺ
Sometimes, dreams begin quietly just an idea in your mind at midnight, a simple design, a small prayer whispered before sleeping. And who knows? Maybe one day Iβll look back at this blog and smile because it all started here with excitement, faith, and a tarpaulin design.ππͺ
Have a Blessed Saturday everyone! ππππππ
