Stats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bookings confirmed: 101<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revenue generated: \u00a316.5k+<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Average rating: 5\u2b50<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We spoke to Lukasz about winning this award and here’s what he had to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why did you start your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working as a chef for 15 years in restaurants and hotels. I was always working for someone else and I just wanted to do it for myself as I loved getting to make people happy with food.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sets your business apart from ohers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t look at it as a business. I look at it as delivering an experience. I love getting to cook and make customers happy with food. It’s my passion. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s a challenge you’ve had to overcome in your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was probably finding the right staff who had the same vision as me. I think you need to share the same vision so you can work towards the same goal of delivering the best experience for the client.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

How has Poptop helped your business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t need to do anything once I signed up. Poptop does it for me. It makes it completely hassle-free and makes my life so much easier.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you make sure you provide a quality service?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn’t matter who the client is, I want to dedicate the same amount of my time to them so they know that I am there to help and provide the best service possible. I like to think of everything from the food to the atmosphere as every client is different, so you have to think about your approach for each one differently.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it feel to win Supplier of the Year?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am honoured to receive this recognition. It shows the hard work and 100% effort I\u2019ve been putting in is being seen. It\u2019s motivating to know that others see my dedication.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"A<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

What are you goals for 2025?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am looking to open a cafe with no set menu, so I can make different things each day and make things that people want to. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What advice do you have to anyone starting their business?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t be afraid of failing. If you fail, treat it as a learning experience. If you provide a great quality service then the business will take care of itself.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favourite dish to make?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, that’s a very common question. I like getting to cook something different every day. I don’t like to just do the same thing every day. The food I make I want it to bring people together to have an enjoyable experience.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s one of your favourite events?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every event is unique from small to large ones. This makes it difficult to choose just one as I can love working at large formal corporate events or a small an intimate one. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
