The restaurant has shown impressive growth, with a 64.8% increase in the customer base last year without external advertising. The expansion strategy includes enhancing the existing Palo Alto bar, increasing menu prices, utilizing patio seating, offering free parking, and featuring live music to attract repeat customers without alienating the current customer base.
The leadership team, headed by Ed Somerfield and Dr. Kenneth Altman, combines extensive restaurant business experience and BBQ expertise. Ed, a PitMaster, will introduce innovative dishes such as fresh, locally sourced vegetables, seafood, smoked prime rib, and a variety of BBQ and smoked meat options. Meanwhile, Dr. Kenneth Altman brings over 18 years of restaurant-specific business experience and 11 years in healthcare management.
The menu will offer a variety of BBQ styles from different regions in the US, allowing guests to choose from one region or mix and match. This diverse menu will be complemented by a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and desserts. The last recorded investment was a $150.00K Convertible Note investment on 14 March 2016. With a proven track record and a compelling expansion plan, Big Ed's Buzzard BBQ, Inc. presents a promising investment opportunity in the Food and Beverage industry.
