We had the good fortune of connecting with Franny Allen and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Franny, other than deciding to work for yourself, what else do you think played a pivotal role in your story?
When I decided to legitimize my business. I got liability insurance, then my LLC, then my liquor license. I didn’t take any shortcuts. I worked hard and did everything by the book. I always say that legitimizing your business brings longevity.
What should our readers know about your business?
My business is called Franny’s Bartending and Event Services. We are a mobile bartending and beverage catering company that services in and out of the greater Houston metro. In our industry, it is our level of customer service that sets us apart from others. We treat our customers exactly how we would want to be treated by a professional company. We are most excited about gaining our liquor license which lets us host cash bars and gives us more opportunities. We got to where we are because we are dependable, reliable and we tended to care more about the clients’ need than the money gained. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes. We believed that everyone deserved to be special on their special day. It definitely wasn’t easy, we started in 2016 with training wheels on. And now in 2020 we’ve mastered the unicycle and are looking for what’s next. We overcame our challenges by reaching a level of trust and communication with all of our clients. That system has carried us forward. My brand, Franny’s, means quality service. On our website, you’ll find this quote. “Customers may forget what you said, but they’ll never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou
