Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany and Kevin Mapps.
Hi Tiffany and Kevin, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
It pretty much started with me working for another company, I am always about the customers, and I just didn’t like how customers were treated so one day, I was watching tv with Kevin, and I just randomly said, “You know we can do this ourselves”. I am very much a person that just thinks of something and says “it doesn’t hurt to try, what’s the worst that can happen” We decided to name the company “A Taste of Miami” after Kevin was talking to a close friend and originally came up with the name from the idea from wanting to start a food truck business.
Once we figured out how to start the process, We realized it was doable and feasible. We jumped at the opportunity and went for it. We started marketing on Thumbtack, Bark, and Gigsalad.
“We got to where we are today because of the drive and ambition of Tiffany” – Kevin
“I personally do not want to take all the credit, but I believe we are where we are because of our employees; without them, we wouldn’t be able to take as many gigs we do.” – Tiffany
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It definitely has not been a smooth road that’s for sure. I don’t think you will find any entrepreneur that will say their journey was smooth. There were definitely on-the-job mistakes. Being parents, having full-time jobs plus running this business seven days a week there was a no-sleep era for us, but we were determined. Trying to find the right people to put into place for different events also became a challenge at one point.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about A Taste of Miami Bartending Services?
We are a mobile bartending and event service company. At the moment we bartend for all events from weddings, corporate events, and house parties. We also provide waitstaff services for events.
What sets you apart from others?
Our company is very budget-friendly. We give that special flare at parties that many think they can’t afford.
What are you most proud brand wise?
Our professionalism and our willingness to interact with our clients and their guests. We don’t just come and bartend, we actually become a part of these events and families.
What do you want our readers to know about your brand, offerings, services, etc?
At the moment we only offer bartending and waitstaff services; however 2024 will be introducing new services such as; hookah rentals, photo booths, and catering.
Are there any apps, books, podcasts, blogs or other resources you think our readers should check out?
Canva is a lifesaver lol. We also use a honey book for our contracts, which is very important. Thumbtack has been our go-to for our bookings.
