Short Summary
Hi, My name is James "Jordan" Stephenson" I am doing a crowd-funding campaign to get my restaurant back on its feet. We where open briefly but due to lack of funds we had to close. We will still feature many of our signature items and will be bringing in more southern classics. As always we pride ourselves in making things from scratch, and using local ingredients when available. We will also be using a lot of the feedback we have gotten along the way for the reopening and do our best to make everyone happy. This building means a lot to me, I used to come to the Woodland Inn with my father as a child before he passed away, and he actually met my mother there. I was young but I always remember a fun, lively, positive atmosphere and a place where people loved to be. I want to bring that back to the community. If you pledge to this campaign you have my promise of hard work to ensure a great dining experience and a fantastic value!
What We Need & What You Get
- We are seeking $30,000 to get back open
- We need to fix a few small repairs including: pipes, our walk in cooler, some external repairs and other odds and ends.
- We also need to pay off a few bills
- We need money for our initial stock
- We need a certain amount of working capital for first 6 months bills and labor
If you can help us get reestablished there are some great Perks for you - from a simple thanks on our website to half price beer for life...and even free Bacon!
The Impact
Supporting this campaign supports entreneurship, small business, jobs, America, our local region, and a young mans dream. This community and Northern Kentucky in general need a down home from scratch restaurant with a little flavor and personality. We want to be that restaurant, please support us and be a part of something spectacular! We want to be a big part of the community and host benefits and fundraisers when they are needed. Also we want to be your go to spot when you want to celebrate or take your family out for a great meal! We are proud to be part of the KY proud program which means we source some of our menu from local farms from the great state of KY! So supporting us supports many other hard working Kentuckians! We plan on making a BIG positive impact in our community!
Risks & Challenges
One of the big things we have to do this time around is find some great staff. We do have some great staff members returning, but we will need more. If you are passionate about a local and organic food option being available in the Northern Kentucky area contact us to setup an interview. We will also need to manage getting everything done quickly but we are passionate about what we do and plan on working long hours to get open fast. We feel with all the knowledge we gained from being open earlier, we have low risk of failure! We will make sure this happens and won't rest until it does!
