I Can Eat That LLC | Application Preview
I Can Eat That LLC is seeking government grants to transition from a recipe-focused business into a full-fledged meal prep operation capable of nationwide shipping. The funding will be used to acquire essential equipment, including vacuum sealing machines and bottling technology for fresh fruit juices aimed at kids. Additional funds will support marketing, advertisement, and technology needs.
Over the past year, the business has made significant strides, amassing over 25,000 followers and selling 700 cookbooks shortly after launch. Plans for growth include releasing a physical book and four ebooks annually, offering bi-weekly online and private cooking classes, as well as personal chef services in the local area. Once a commercial kitchen is secured, the company aims to ship healthy meals across the country and introduce nutritious fruit juices for children. By year four or five, the business envisions opening a winery with an attached bistro.
The application emphasizes the unique selling points of the business, including a clear vision and trajectory, with a focus on low-carb and keto-friendly dishes that provide a premium dining experience. Unlike competitors such as Hello Fresh and Snap Kitchen, I Can Eat That LLC aims to fill a gap in the market by offering flavorful, health-conscious meals that entice consumers to stay committed to their dietary choices.
The business also plans to collaborate with over 50 health professionals to provide valuable content and reinforce its brand, further differentiating itself from established competitors. Overall, the funding would significantly bolster the company’s ability to deliver high-quality meals and expand its reach.

I've also successfully sold 700 units of my cookbook in the 1st 2 months of sales, all advertisement done in house on a very limited budget. Over the next 5 years I plan on increasing efforts on my end with innovative marketing techniques. The plan is to release 1 physical book and 4 ebooks a yr. I will begin offering online and private cooking classes as well(Bi Weekly) Weekly meal preps and personal chef services will be offered to the surrounding area. Once a kitchen is leased i want to begin shipping packaged meals across the country. The plan is to offer healthy fruit juices for kids as well. Finally in year 4 or 5 I plan to evaluate where the company is and plan to open a winery where a bistro is attached and a select menu is available.

Self Identified Competition
Tier I Hello Fresh (National Chain), Green Chef, Trifecta Nutrition -More Marketing Dollars, More Reach -Solid social media presence o Tier II Snap Kitchen Tier (Biggest State Distributer) -Multiple store fronts, available at local grocery stores (HEB, Whole Foods) -Social media presence -TX, OK, AK, La, PA o Tier III Smart Meals, Pro Meals, Meal Prep Katy (no store fronts) -Small Local Chains -No huge social media presence; use WOM -Established businesses, loyal customer base -Standard meals While these businesses are established and running none of them offer dishes with a 5 star feel for their clients. I feel in the missing gaps that the low carb/keto industry needs to take the next step into becoming more profitable. The number one reason why people stop eating health conscious is due to the bland options prepared. Im offering people restaurant quality food that aligns with their eating habits minus the guilt. Outside of food I have lined up 50+ health professionals, physical trainers, bodybuilding professionals that'll be on my platforms giving tips from eating to transforming your mindset to accomplish goals. These intangibles will help propel me against my competition.
