Why We Need Your Help
Hi, my name is Jonathan
and I am the entrepreneur behind Taco Monster. Born and raised in Red Deer, I am so thankful for the community support of our new business. It is your support that has made launching our new food truck possible in the midst of a global pandemic. Thank you.
I want to personally invite you to participate in the next part of our story. With winter fast approaching, we want to build a permanent year-round location in Central Alberta. To do this, we need your help.
We are pre-selling a variety of products including Taco Monster merchandise, tacos, gift cards, and private event catering! These products will be delivered in 2021, which allows us to use this money now to secure a location, purchase kitchen equipment, expand our menu, and open up a space for you to enjoy Taco Monster year round!
Building Together
We believe in community. From ideation till now, Taco Monster has been built on the foundation of people coming together to experience and create great things. As a new business growing in a struggling economy and global pandemic, resources to fund this project are limited. However we believe that together, anything is possible.
The Plan
Money brought in through this campaign will be used to start a year-round location in Central Alberta. In February 2021, we plan to deliver most of the rewards. Catered events or sponsored giveaways that include the food truck will be scheduled between May and September 2021. Here is a list of how we will use the money in order of priority.
At this point we can use equipment we already own to create a functioning kitchen and serve tacos from a new location. However we would like to expand our menu which will require some new equipment, as well as upgrade some of our plans to elevate your experience. Here is how we would use the next part of the campaign goal.
The Rewards
Thank you for your ongoing support of Taco Monster! Whether you can give a little or give a lot, your ongoing support of our business means the world to us. We would not be here today without you. Below is a list of items you can purchase that we aim to fulfill in January 2021. This will allow us to use this capital to help us start a new brick and mortar / year round location! Our dream is to continue growing this brand, and we need your help to do it.
Taco Monsters are nomadic beings, rarely spotted in the wild, who roam festivals and local gathering spaces in search of the best tacos.
Tacos, being the best food invented EVER, are also perfectly balanced with the needed nutrition to keep Taco Monsters alive, fed, and happy!
When tacos are in short supply, you may find your taco monsters a bit grouchier than normal, sneaking into homes and snacking on tupperware and tin cans.
Never sure of where their search will take them, they commonly dwell in mobile shelters that can easily move around.
Upon discovery of his favorite taco yet, our beloved Taco Monster, named Chomp, decided to stay and share his latest discoveries with the people of Central Alberta.
As summer turns to fall, Chomp has been chatting with some local animals (yes, he can speak to animals, cool hey?). They have warned him of the severe, frigid, winter temperatures that are to come. Some of these animals head south for the winter, but Chomp has made many friends here and the thought of leaving makes him very sad. Other animals suggested hibernation, but Chomp is scared of the dark, so he did not take well to this idea. While chatting with a couple house pets, they spoke of beautiful homes that humans have made for them, and suggested he reach out to the humans for help.
Chomp wants your help in creating a safe and warm home to share his new favourite tacos with the people of Central Alberta year-round.
Together, people and Taco Monsters alike, can build a gathering place to enjoy and celebrate the glories of tacos all year long.
Help Chomp’s cause by making a purchase today.
