Sometimes smart, talented people who are very good at food and hospitality might plan or start food businesses (think: food trucks, caterers, bakers, restaurants) without the “food math” and systems needed to get profitable. If you build without a knowledge of costing, pricing and menu engineering, the gaps show up not overnight, but over time, and it’s so very hard to recover from that.
As a chef, entrepreneur and teacher, I’ve learned the importance of this stuff the hard way. I’ve also developed some great tools to help you learn the basics, and to streamline the work so you can focus on what you love doing.
Invest in yourself and your business, and let me save you some grief, time and money. Join our supportive, interactive, small-group, online class for a chance to master this math, and get some tools and systems to make your food business profitable and sustainable.
*Students who complete the course and the homework will have a customized Google Sheets workbook for a head start on good financial planning.
