Hey there, I’m Sarah!
Founder of Sarah Delevan Consulting and your partner in building a profitable food business
I love good food. In a “at-the-farmers-market-every-weekend, read-every-ingredient-on-the-back-of-that-package” kind of way.
So much so, that I co-founded a food business back in 2012 with the goal of building community around good food. It was my dream business, but the finances couldn’t support it long term.
With broken hearts we had to close up shop after 2 years of business.
Around that time I learned how common it is for good food businesses to go under. Traditional industry practices don’t apply to the way good food businesses choose to work, but we shouldn’t have to pay the price.
So I set out to make a difference in the way good food businesses approach their finances, because unique businesses like yours require unique solutions.
I have a talent for understanding, diagnosing, and improving the financial performance of food businesses. From the ingredient sourcing, to product and menu pricing, to building scalable systems for long term success, I’m able to see what’s going on in a business’s day-to-day operations just as clearly as I can see the big picture.
So after honing these skills and building proven, repeatable methods and systems, I founded Sarah Delevan Consulting in 2017. Since then we’ve helped more than 50 businesses achieve financial sustainability and profitability, and I remain steadfast in my mission to change our food system one profitable good food business at a time.
