Issue
Imagine you’re a busy mom who just finished work and picked up your kids from school. It’s already quite late and you’re all starving. As you drive home, all you can think about is how you don’t have the energy to cook and you’ve been too busy preparing meals. You want something quick and easy that the whole family can enjoy. You’re tired of fast food and pizza, but your options seem limited. Fast food chains and sit-in restaurants are everywhere, but where can you find a quick and delicious lunch or dinner that reminds you of your favorite Hawaiian vacation?
The problem is, there’s no place that offers fast, authentic Hawaiian cuisine that’s both filling and affordable. While there may be a few sit-down restaurants that serve Hawaiian cuisine, they are rare. L&L Hawaiian barbecue franchisee aims to solve this problem by bringing authentic, great-tasting Hawaiian food to consumers around the world.
Relevance of the issue
The issue is highly relevant to the masses because, in today’s fast paced world, more and more people are looking for a quick and easy meal that is filling and satisfying. Hawaiian cuisine is a unique and delicious option that is currently not widely available. As a result, consumers are forced to eat unhealthy fast food or sit-down restaurants that require a lot of time and money. Hawaiian L&L barbecue franchisee can provide a solution to this problem by offering a convenient and healthy alternative that is both affordable and delicious.
Current solutions for the problem
- Fast food chains that offer unhealthy and processed meals
- Sit down restaurants overpriced and time consuming

Why does the problem exist?

Our first Hawaiian BBQ franchise location L&L opened in the fourth quarter of 2019, and since then we have shown significant progress in terms of growth and revenue.

This measure underlines the value of our business model and market positioning.
