We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Xavier Chambers. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Xavier below.

Xavier, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today So let’s jump to your mission – what’s the backstory behind how you developed the mission that drives your brand?

My mission has always been to provide phenomenal service to people from all walks of life. Surrounding myself in the hospitality & service industry is the best way I can do that. Bringing to life an experience that involves togetherness while also providing delicious food has been a dream of mine that is becoming a beautiful reality.

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?

Xavier’s culinary journey started from his interest in the hospitality and service industry, having his first job at Cheddars Casual Cafe as a culinary assistant in
2014. After months of training he started serving and further understood the skills
of providing quality customer service. By working in restaurants, he came across
various types of cuisine. It was his time as a bartender and server trainer at Doc
B’s in 2017 that impacted Xavier deeply. He took in praise and criticism. One of
the executive chefs unbeknownst this them made a comment that inspired Xavier
to create his own menu options and become a restaurateur.
In the summer of 2018, Xavier acquired several books on entrepreneurship and
acquired small kitchen equipment that he’d seen his family use all the time while
prepping food. He started capturing videos of unique techniques on cooking,
adding his flavor in addition to his personality. In the early months of 2020, he
acquired his business license and state permits in order to do business on a
larger scale. His first dinner under Fusion Chamber happened in the month of
February and shows no sign of slowing down.
​
Inspired by Fusion food and a play of words on his last name, Fusion Chamber was born.
Xavier and his team don’t take anything from granted and is
blessed by each opportunity to cook for a client.

Can you tell us about a time you’ve had to pivot?

In the beginning stages of COVID, there was a a lot of confusion for small business owners. I didn’t know how to keep the business going, how would I be able to shift our creative food provision mission?

A lot of purchasing in-store equipment from various store wasn’t really an option. Amazon was my only source for a long time.

Acquiring mask, cleaning equipment and so forth. It would have been a lot for anyone to handle.

How did you put together the initial capital you needed to start your business?

The initial capital used to fund the business came from saving paychecks to fund the LLC & invoices from future clients. Investing each dollar amount and by the grace of God is why I’ve been able to sustain the company so far
