Texas Tikka LLC | Application Preview
Texas Tikka LLC is applying for government grants to support the establishment of a brick-and-mortar location in Austin, Texas, alongside a food truck to boost catering and outdoor event revenue. The majority of the funds will be directed towards the storefront, food truck, local and online marketing, and the hiring and training of a dedicated team.
The business currently generates $1,000 per day with limited resources, self-funding all operations. A physical location is expected to provide a more stable revenue stream while continuing to capitalize on outdoor catering opportunities. Texas Tikka intends to expand by first introducing a food truck in new areas and, once profitability is established, investing in additional storefronts.
Texas Tikka offers a unique blend of Texas barbecue and Indian flavors, appealing to family and community values in both cuisines. The experience of the team, which brings over a decade in the food and hospitality industry, reinforces their commitment to creating a welcoming atmosphere.
In terms of competition, Texas Tikka acknowledges other Indian barbecue entities like Choolaah and Sigri Indian BBQ, as well as local competitors like Franklin's Barbecue. However, the business emphasizes its dedication to profitability and community connection, striving to be the preferred local barbecue destination.

Business Plan
We are currently making $1000 per day with limited resources and self funding all aspects of the business. Adding a storefront will enable us to have a more consistent stream of revenue. In addition we will continue to leverage our outdoor and catering revenue with a dedicated team. We will continue to invest in the growth of Texas Tikka by first adding a food truck in any new location to test the market and when profitable margins are met will invest in the storefront in the new market. We are Texas-Indian Barbecue. We took a very simple concept of barbecue and added in the much loved flavors of India to the humble Texas Brisket. We are industry professionals who have spent more than a decade in the food and hospitality business working in different parts of the world learning that when it comes down to food, people will always gravitate towards the warm feeling of family and community. Texas Barbecue and Indian food both are centered around family time and being a part of the neighborhood and TxTikka will always provide that feeling to everyone who walks in our door.
