(This is a cutting from my Facebook group inviting all my members to follow me on Twitter)
Hi all Burger Box members. As most of you know my name is Paulo Benfeito and i have been running Burger Box in Surbiton for 2 years exactly and i have loved every minute. I have made some really good friends and all my customers are great.Most of you know as well that McDonalds decided to open 24 hours in the weekends and that has really hurt my business.
To tell you the truth, maybe if i was in the same position as them, i would most probably do the same. ( i used to work for them so i know)
Looking over the past year, even though my business took a 50% hit since McDonalds opened, i didn't let that affect me. On contrary, it made me realize that i was too comfortable and that i had all my eggs in one basket. With that in mind, these last 6 months i have been expanding and creating more baskets.
I have another catering trailer that covers 2 markets in the weekends, every Saturday at Bovingdon Market near Hemel Hempsted and Wembley Market every Sunday.
I also run the Coffee Bay Kiosk at Hampton Court train station and i just recently opened another Coffee Bay kiosk at East Molesey Cricket Club.
At the moment i have 4 baskets with more to come in the next months and years to come.
One thing i realized is that allot of my customers would like to know what i am up to and how i am doing, and for that reason i opened an account on Twitter that allows me to send Tweets and my Facebook account gets updated straight away.
My goal is to turn the Burger Box group into a multi million pound company and i think it would be cool to have a few people follow me on my journey from the beginning. I know that i wont be able to achieve this goal by myself, so with your help it will be easier.
If you would like to follow me on twitter go to http://twitter.com/BurgerBox.

ps- Please invite all your friends and familly to follow me on Twitter and Facebook.
