Lounge Logistics LLC DBA Deuces Kitchen and Cockta | Application Preview
Lounge Logistics LLC, operating as Deuces Kitchen and Cockta, is seeking government grants to enhance its operations. The funding will be used to invest in new equipment, such as dishwashers and durable dining ware, hire additional staff for extended hours, and upgrade security systems. Plans include acquiring more tables and chairs, adding a small grill to diversify the menu, and providing uniforms for employees.
The business aims to establish a standalone location in a high-traffic area of Las Vegas within the next five years. The vision encompasses offering brunch, lunch, dinner, and late-night services, along with catering options and a food truck. The new venue will feature a two-story design, including an expo kitchen for take-out and a specialized kitchen for hookah service. Proximity to the Las Vegas Strip and convention centers is a priority to attract corporate events. The business also intends to market its signature sauces and batters, with future expansion planned for cities like Houston and Atlanta.
The business owner emphasizes a strong work ethic, hands-on involvement, and resilience in overcoming challenges. With years of experience in various jobs since the age of 12, the owner is passionate about learning from mistakes and is determined to succeed. The application highlights that there are no other black woman-owned lounges in Las Vegas offering a similar menu or atmosphere. This establishment aims to provide a unique dining experience characterized by southern hospitality, making it an ideal setting for both personal and professional gatherings. The competitive edge lies in the warm, family-like environment that differentiates it from typical Vegas nightlife options.

Funding Usage
This funding amount will help me to expand the current business I have by adding more efficient ways to run the business like dishwashers for pots, pans and glassware. Dishes instead of disposable plates, real utensils. I would also hire more staff to open for more days, in particular kitchen staff and management. I would change the security system currently. I would purchase more tables and chairs. I would also add a small grill for the kitchen to expand the menu. Lastly, I would purchase uniforms for all my employees.

Business Plan
In the next five years I plan to have a stand alone location in a high traffic area of Las Vegas. My goal would be to offer brunch lunch dinner and after hours. I would like to add catering and a food truck to the business. I would like to be in an area close to the strip and convention center to rent out to corporate events. My goal is to have a two story place with an expo kitchen just for take out and delivery , a main open kitchen and small kitchen strictly for hookah so that the hookah area can have a hood to catch the debris from the coals. I plan to be an area that's less than a $15 ride from the strip and main attractions in Las Vegas. I also plan to sell our signature housemate sauces and batters for profit. Then eventually expand to areas like Houston and Atlanta. I am resilient, eager and ambitious. I am a hands on business owner. There is nothing in my restaurant that I have not touched. I can play all parts to get the job done and I am humble enough to do so in order to make sure we succeed. I have been working since I was 12 years old a lot of jobs and businesses later, I am now 29 . Still dreaming and still grinding. I never give up. I fail forward. I learn from every mistake, every no and every lesson. I wholeheartledly believe every concept I have drafted will be gold.

Self Identified Competition
There is no black woman owned lounge in the city of Las Vegas with a menu like ours or vibe like ours. An intimate vibe dining experience with southern hospitality and no costly bottle prices or cliches like Vegas nightclubs. Perfect for date night or business meetings. No one offers what I offer in Las Vegas. We are a full service restaurant with hookah however it is a vibe dining experience with southern hospitality service. We make the enviornment warm and welcoming. It feels like we are family eating southern shrimp and grits and listening to music for the soul.
