{knead to eat} Founder
Mumtaz Marican
Mumtaz Marican was working as account manager in an information technology research company, and had experience a bit of a mid life crisis when she hit her mid thirties. At a gathering among colleagues where they lament about the struggles in the corporate arena, one colleague suggested going into a business venture together. That one idea triggered that entrepreneur spark in her that saw her pouring her heart & soul into researching & developing a business plan that blossom into what is known today as {knead to eat}.
As part of the research to develop the menu for {knead to eat} Mumtaz has to scour & devour every sandwich & salad & soup from bistros she can find in CBD, Suntec City Mall & CBP (Changi Business Park). Mumtaz wanted to own a business based on what she was passionate about - food, & she wanted to serve whole food that is made from scratch, homestyle, nutritious, nourishing using traditional recipes and latest technology such as sous vide style used in cooking the beef rump in Brutus Beef Sandwich & chicken breast in the Pesto Chicken Sandwich.
So at 34, she quit her corporate life, armed with zero experience in F&B industry, forked out close to about S$200,000, she hired consultants to help her venture into the F&B industry in coming up with the Corporate branding, in furnishing & designing her sandwich (bistro) parlour as well as developing the menu & recipes. Within barely 7 months she managed to set up her sandwich parlour and trademarked it {knead to eat}, a pun on the words "need to eat", and since it is a sandwich house, of the necessity of kneading the dough to get the bread to make the sandwich.
