Today we’d like to introduce you to Olayinka Oboh.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My name is Olayinka Oboh. Owner of Fufu Catering LLC (Fufu Catering Food Truck and Fufu Catering Kitchen & GRILL). I started Catering for friends and families few years ago for FREE and one day a friend said to me “Why not register your business and become a FULL Time caterer”? I smiled and said to myself, I will definitely get it done but couldn’t afford the fees ($150) then. My friend did the registration for me at no cost to me. And I never looked back. Fufu Catering is well known is the wedding industry. We cater for a lot of weddings and we’re unique in what we do. Fufu is the first to Introduce Amala on the Spot to my community and Today we’re the BEST at it. Today, I have over 14 certifications regarding foods. Today, I have a Full Mobile Kitchen and Mortar and brick Restaurant all to myself. Dedication and Preservance is the KEY!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Nothing good comes easy. Have been through Hell (lol). When I first started, sometimes I cater for just a family in a week and I have kids to feed. It wasn’t easy but consistency is the Key. I knew what I wanted and I had a goal for myself. Three years ago, I had a dream of having a food Truck but couldn’t afford one and I choice not to finance it too. I called on my kids and explained to them the difference between needs and wants, we need to deprived ourselves from Nike sneakers or Jordan and let me shop for them at the Thrift store just for us to save up for the Food Truck. And, they all agreed to my idea and nine months later we’re Proud Owner of a Brand New Fully equipped Mobile Food Truck Loan Free…
