The work of building a successful food business isn’t glamorous…

Talking about numbers isn’t sexy... 
Photos of spreadsheets on instagram don’t garner a lot of attention...
The work that I ask business owners to do is not glamorous, but it’s required to build a profitable business.  

I know it’s fun to think about branding + marketing, to interact with your customers, to score a new wholesale account. And all of those things are important for a successful food business!

But the reality is that you can’t achieve your long-term business goals without financial sustainability + profitability. 

I meet food brands all the time that have stellar sales months… matched by BIG losses.  
I don’t want that for you!

You’ve got big goals for your food business, I know you do! 

Whether you want to build a local family business, a national brand, or a rapidly growing biz that you can sell in a few years…

The path to reaching your goals, and doing so WITHOUT burning yourself out, involves achieving financial sustainability and consistent profitability. 

What exactly is financial sustainability?

Simply put, it’s consistent cash flow within your business that results in no more worrying about if you’ll have enough money to cover the bills, pay your employees and pay yourself. 

why focus on Profitability? 

Profits are the amount of money leftover after you pay for your COGS, operations and labor.  

You can reinvest them to grow your team, expand your operations, hang on to them so your business has cash on hand during slow months…you can use them however you’d like!  The point is that there is money left over for you to put toward reaching your goals. 

how do you achieve financial sustainability and profitability in your food business?

The way you achieve these things is NOT by doing more + selling more.  It’s by understanding, optimizing and maximizing the financial efficiency of your business.
