The economy and restaurant industry have changed since the pandemic. Unfortunately, this has made our business very difficult to manage. The situation worsens every year. As the owner, I worry about paying my staff and have not taken a salary for years. More importantly, I can't let my parents' dream die. With humility, I am now asking for your help.

My team and I have a strong plan to turn the restaurant around. We need capital to fund several ideas.
These ideas will improve our cash flow, better use our space, and allow us to reinvent Inatome.
We are moving in a positive direction. I have built a strong, passionate team ready to implement our plan. These improvements will become permanent fixtures of the restaurant. There are goals that we are striving to achieve, but we can't do it alone.
Please support in any way you can. Thank you!
Inatome has been a part of Valley Stream for over 50 years. I watched how my parents built this business and endeared themselves to the neighborhood year after year. Without the support of everyone in the community, we wouldn't be here today. For example, the Valley Stream Fire Department came to our aid back in 2015 to save this restaurant. That assistance gave us the chance to rebuild and start over. Since I took over as owner, I have felt that same love from the neighborhood, and I will never forget that support.
Currently, due to a lack of kitchen space and staffing, we barely offer any takeout or delivery. This new plan is essential to turn the restaurant around. We need capital to fund several ideas that will help us reinvent Inatome. Our primary goal is to remodel the kitchen to create a dedicated takeout and delivery department. This will involve buying new and upgrading old equipment, which will increase our productivity. Some funds will also go toward hiring the new kitchen staff needed to implement these services. On a different note, we plan to hire a team to help us launch monthly special events, such as fun sushi-making classes and tuna cutting experiences. These events will better utilize our huge restaurant space and create a new stream of income.
The funds collected here will help pay the expenses associated with our New Plan. We are committed to transparency. The results will be seen immediately: once the campaign is complete, we will begin the process of remodeling and hiring staff. We are also improving our website and social media to focus on takeout and special events. Our goal is to bring the Inatome experience to you at home. Finally, to show our appreciation, we are pledging to donate up to 10% of the funds collected toward local groups. This includes the Valley Stream Fire Department and the Brooklyn Avenue School, where many of my staff attended. These groups are especially near and dear to my heart.
Your contribution is an investment in our future legacy. Your support immediately funds three vital changes:
1. Our Kitchen Remodel: We will transform our kitchen to create a dedicated takeout and delivery department, stabilizing the business for the next decade.
2. Exciting Community Events: We will launch fun events, like hands-on sushi classes, to better use our space and strengthen neighborhood ties.
3. Technology Upgrade: We will improve our website and systems, making the Inatome experience easier to enjoy from your home.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
