Due to the cost of living, Tania (Nia) and her cousin Nina needed to generate more income for their families. Tania also wanted funds to enable her autistic son to attend a programme that would better meet his learning needs, but she needed more income in order to cover the cost. 

With the help of the Generator, Tania and Nina set up NiuEats to bring Polynesia to the plate through desserts, platterboards and grazing tables. 

In December 2019 NiuEats had their first corporate catering with Air New Zealand and continue to grow in popularity.
