From $65K Job to a $20M Hibachi Empire: Eddie’s Unstoppable Rise

It's like, and it takes like about four weeks to get all the papers done, which is easy for catering. It's a lot different than having a restaurant because we don't have a brick and mortar location.

When you just get started, the main problem with the hibachi catering service is you don't have a constant flow of parties or events, so your chefs don't get paid.

With our chefs, I hire anybody, but most of our chefs were younger guys, a little older than me, a couple years.

They're also in a couple cities. But we are in over 30 cities right now, 15 states. And we opened August of 2023. And it's a little over a year now.
