Mother’s Love Behind Steak Hotel by HOLYCOW!
After becoming a mother, the focus of life can change 180 degrees, this is also experienced by the founder of Steak Hotel by HOLYCOW !. Yes, this culinary business began when she decided to resign from her previous workplace because she wanted to have more time with her child.
Wynda Mardio is who has almost 10 years of experience in the media industry, then swerved after becoming a mother. Wynda wants to have activities that can increase family income but not make her lose much time with her child. From the desire to have more time to love their children, finally, the idea of selling a steak came out.
“Choose to sell steak because my husband likes to eat steak a lot. I don’t have a culinary background myself, it’s just that since I was a kid I was busy in the kitchen,” Wynda said while chatting with FOOD Kumparan some time ago.
In developing the culinary business, according to Wynda, we have to innovate. This is because Wynda is not the only person who sells steak. Especially now more and more steak restaurants serve steaks at affordable prices.
“When I search for menus’ inspiration, I often see the Asian Food Channel. I also ask people, get ideas, then I try to create one, hold a food test for my family at home. Then try at the kitchen office, discuss with the executive chef, then get tested again,” said the mother these two children.
The culinary business managed by Wynda is growing well. Together with her husband, they founded Bhadranaya Group which now has 5 brands. Besides Steak Hotel by HOLYCOW! there are Cupcakes Company, Mockingbird, The Real Holysteak!, and Sabi Wok.
Wynda said maintaining consistency is far more difficult than achieving something. “In business, we cannot turn a blind eye. We must look at the times and see people’s tastes. A lot has changed,” Wynda said. Seeing the changes and tastes of people, dare to try, and dare to make decisions. It’s not easy at all, but it can be done.
Starting and undergoing a thing, especially work and business, it would be nice if it starts with something that you like. If you are sure of what you have chosen and what you are going to do, Wynda’s message is to do it consistently. Problems will always exist, so don’t give up.
Wynda said, not all mothers need to make their own business to be able to have more time with their children. If you have to work in an office, as long as you have enough time, then that doesn’t matter. Yes, especially if this office lady likes her job. For a mother to undergo what she likes but still have enough time with her child is a real pleasure.
