Jae Stulock and Sandy Madachik were packing their bags to move to Boulder to launch a food truck business. The business partners had heard how difficult it was to set up shop in Cleveland so they had no intent to even try. Before skipping town, however, they learned about the City of Cleveland's program to encourage more mobile dining options. In six short days they assembled the necessary application paperwork and were accepted into the program.
Madachik, a former office manager at an IT firm, and Stulock, a carpenter for a construction company, launched Umami Moto in early November.
