Why This Matters
“Growing a multi-site restaurant concept requires investment. Each Howdy Location takes approximately $100,000 of equipment purchases and another $100,000 of general contractor + aesthetic work to make an ice cream shop ready for service. Unlike most concepts, the beauty of Howdy Homemade is in the simplicity of the business model. Ice cream and employing joyful Heroes solves most restaurant concept challenges: we have virtually zero food waste, employee turnover, or any issues with no-shows or missing shifts among our workforce. We also have the unique advantage of being a largely B2B-driven sales opportunity, with catering driving a meaningful and growing percentage of our store revenue each month (30%+).”
