CEO of Hausa Cuisine, Hajia Sarauniya
CEO of Hausa Cuisine, Hajia Sarauniya has revealed the inspiration behind the brand name.
Speaking in an interview with Empress Gifty on Ucook, Hajia shared that she was using her mother’s name until she decided to change it to the current name `Hausa Cuisine’.
“I started selling food for 3 years now. My mother used to sell foods when I was little. She was also selling tuo zaafi, zongo rice and other foods. When I started selling the food, I was using my mother’s name which was `Halima’s kitchen’” she said.
She continued “I changed the name because I felt the name was common so I prayed over it and I felt like it’s a vision from God. After I changed the name, I told my mother about it and she prayed for me for the name to be bigger and known”.
She added that she met a food influencer who brought her to the limelight. When the influencer (Alhaji Theozzy) took videos of the food he bought and posted it online, people started patronising her and now she’s all over.
“The very day I changed the name to Hausa Cuisine, that’s when a food influencer came to buy food and took videos of the food he bought. The day he posted it online, people started coming and recommending me to others that my food is delicious. Since then I don’t take the influencer for granted. I have 30 workers now and 2 different branches” she stated.
