We love being around exciting new food ideas and meeting the people behind them.
Think of us as an extension of your team.
With extensive business experience and thousands of previous food business clients, we know exactly what it takes to set up a food business in Melbourne. We respect that it’s your business with your recipes, products and plans, but things will come up – both opportunities and challenges – that you won’t expect and might not know how to manage. Whether it’s training, an introduction to an expert, or a coaching conversation, we’re here to support you to succeed.
Meet The Business of Food’s owner, Jane Del Rosso
Jane is an organisational guru and proven mentor, with a passion for food and head for business. She took the leap many years ago, leaving her corporate career to train in cooking and pursue her passion for all things food and business.
Jane pioneered the very first Australian kitchen incubator in 2008, well before the emergence of co-working spaces and ghost kitchens, and concentrated on providing compliant space from which to make new food products, enabling new food business owners to explore ideas and increase the chances of seeing their food products on a retail shelf. The Business of Food followed naturally-- bringing together her business savvy, gourmet tendencies, and love of supporting other small businesses looking to gain traction in the food industry.
Jane Del Rosso
“The Business of Food’s vision is to change the notoriously low success rate of small business in the food industry by minimising the risky start of a food business. ”
