Saed

About the offering

Saed is a Northeast Ohio-based hospitality and specialty foods company operating outside the traditional restaurant model. The company offers private dining experiences, beverage programming, curated events, and culinary services held in private residences, event venues, and community spaces. In addition to service-based hospitality, Saed produces a growing line of handcrafted preserves and packaged goods sold through farmers markets, private events, wholesale partnerships, and direct online sales. Operations are run out of a commercial kitchen facility that supports both event execution and packaged food manufacturing. Co-founder Chef Daniel Bolaños has been selected for the James Beard Foundation Legacy Network, recognizing emerging leadership in the hospitality industry. The company has also been featured multiple times by Cleveland.com and regional television for its private dining, events, and specialty preserves. Saed's multi-revenue model spans private dining, events, farmers markets, and wholesale preserves, with the goal of building a community-driven culinary brand rooted in craftsmanship and intentional gathering. The current fundraise on Honeycomb is structured as a debt offering under Regulation CF, with a funding goal of $10,000–$25,000 and a 60-month loan term at a 14% interest rate. Proceeds are earmarked for commercial kitchen remediation and food-safety upgrades (40%), walk-in cooler infrastructure including compressor replacement (40%), and a commercial steam kettle for higher-volume preserve production (20%). Additional working capital for packaging, inventory, and marketing is also planned. These investments are intended to increase production efficiency, enable fulfillment of larger wholesale and event orders, improve food safety and storage capabilities, and support year-round operations across all revenue channels.
