Corfu Pizza has been around for over 42 years. We are well know in the East Oak Lane area for our delicious pizza and cheese steaks and our infamous strombolis.
To expand our reach, Corfu Pizza has added on various apps like DoorDash Uber Eats, PostMates, ChowNow, and a drive thru app, and this has added over $20,900 in monthly revenue. In addition,. Corfu is open until 5 am some days, adding to its already booming business.
Corfu Pizza will be opening its first cloud kitchen in Somerset NJ, a great urban area with one of the largest colleges on the east coast and various hospitals. Cloud kitchens operate in a cloud-based only environment, offering late night menus as delivery only service, reducing the amount of resources needed to operate a take out restaurant. Cloud kitchens offer reduced risk due lower rents, less staff, and reduced branding at locations. All three of these components improve the bottom line, increasing profits. This is particularly relevant given the current pandemic, as more customers are willing to order takeout than dine-in service. The future of how restaurants will operate is uncertain, but the cloud kitchen model will be sustainable no matter what happens.
With great reviews across platforms, we know that there's demand for more Corfu pizza. We've built a loyal following and not only plan on relying on their support and word of mouth marketing, but will implement additional marketing tactics for the new location. These tactics include social media, flyers, and advertising in local papers.
Funds raised from our MainVest raise will go towards renovating the cloud kitchen as well as having working capital on hand to ensure a successful launch. If we raise beyond the minimum threshold, we'll be able to further improve pickup and delivery capabilities.
The community has been the reason we've been successful for over 40 years, and we're now excited to offer our supporters the chance to take part in the next phase of our growth. We look forward to a bright future with our new concept.
