We were lucky to catch up with Juan Martinez recently and have shared our conversation below.

Juan , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

My mission is to provide great food and service to our customers. Food is what brings families together in good or bad times and ours is made with lots of love & care. I do believe that food made with love just tastes better and makes you feel better. The business is named after my late brother David Andrew Martinez and part of our mission as a business is to keep his name alive and thriving!

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Entrepreneurship has always been in my family and is something I’ve wanted to do for as long as I can remember. We briefly had a catering business back in 2010 and had a great time and learned a lot from that. When starting up David Andrew’s I took the lessons learned from previous business attempts and used them as stepping stones. I’m still learning and will continue to learn throughout this crazy journey of ours! I’m most proud of the amazing feedback we get from our customers, they’ve showed us lots of love and I couldn’t be more thankful for them!

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

I think as a business owner you have to be resilient, there’s really no other way to stay on track without resilience. Keeping the ship afloat and on track brings constant obstacles and if you want to continue doing this you just have to know there will be problems. We embrace the downs as much as the ups so we keep cruisin down the road and stay the course.

How do you keep in touch with clients and foster brand loyalty?

Social media has been such a great tool for keeping in touch with our customers. We connect with them and keep them updated with new menu items, dates & schedules on a daily basis.
