I am sorry guys that I have not been posting much lately. I am not going to make excuses, except I will say it is holiday time. =) I will defiantly be putting up more recipes and restaurant reviews. Steve and I have been going to some terrific restaurants lately. 

I have a friend on FaceBook that read my profile and pieced together the fact that I am a chef. I was telling him that I am currently looking for angel investors to aid me in launching my business. He ask for additional information about Mia Cucina. I am going to send him a copy of my executive summary and let him share it if he wishes. Any way, if he was interested, maybe there are some of my reader that are interested too. I am including a copy.

Executive Summary

Mia Cucina is introducing five Health Department approved kitchens, under the same roof, for rent to fill the need of our clients that want to start or expand their food related businesses without the large expense involved in building a commercial kitchen. Mia Cucina plans to open this facility in the Las Virgenes area, located in between the Los Angeles and Ventura counties in California, in the spring of 2009.

Mia Cucina will dominate the current market because there are only 10 commercial kitchens, with multiple kitchens, for rent in the entire state of California. None of which are located within a 35 mile radius of the Las Virgenes area. With 50% rented space per month, Mia Cucina will generate enough income to repay a 1 million dollar loan in 3 years.

Mia Cucina’s revenues are focused on the rental from multiple users as opposed to limited income generated by one business using one kitchen. To open Mia Cucina, Ms. Doebler will need $800,000 to fully complete this project with $500,000 of the total being used for the initial build out. Income generation will begin as soon as ground breaking occurs through deposits of $525 per letter of commitment. Additionally, it is anticipated that revenues will be received through pre-registration of summer cooking classes. Once the kitchens are operating they will be open for 3,360 hours per month. If only 12 companies rent space for an average of 70 hours each it would generate over $30,000 per month. This is only 25% of potential usage, which exceeds the break even amount $25,000 a month. Currently we have several people that have signed letters of interest as well as numerous others who are anticipating our opening.  

Amy Wilcox Doebler’s passion is cooking and being a part of the culinary industry. As a personal chef, she has preferred to use healthy, organic foods and energy efficient products. Mia Cucina will continue the focus by addressing energy efficient concerns in its build out and it’s day to day functioning. The build out will include the use of sky lights as well as green focused products; both energy saving and non-toxic cleaning products.
