This Joint Stock Company, established in 1994, has 129 employees at 2 retail outlets and 3 small processing plants.
Its Major Products include Ukrainian Pancakes which they manufacture in 50 varieties.
Taifun is a fast growing fast food company with two modern, attractive, colorfully decorated retail outlets patterned after similar Western cafes. In these shops they sell the usual fast food fare, including over 50 varieties of filled and rolled pancakes which they manufacture themselves. They serve over 3,000 people a day who eat 3 pancakes on average. The main ingredients such as flour and sugar come from Ukraine.
The expansion plans for the company take two forms. The first is to add additional retail outlets. The second is to provide good, nutritional food to schools. Schools manage their own cafeterias and operate at a loss. The company proposes to subcontract this operation to supply food and microwave ovens, but first needs to have the necessary technology and testing procedures. For this, investment is needed. This school program is still in the planning stages and no contracts have yet been issued.
The company has is a problem with raw materials, including water, and is looking for funds to invest in the necessary test equipment.
