Our Food Business Partnership Program
How it works:
The Partnership program workshops are all run by Jane Del Rosso, Business of Food’s owner, and subsidised by your organisation, so it can be run at minimal cost to participants. Each program is capped at 10 participants and runs over the course of 4-6 weeks.
Current partners also have offered access to local workshop space and promotional and administration support. We will gladly work with you to tailor a partnership that meets everyone’s needs.
What’s covered in the pre-accelerator program?
Topics have been chosen from our firsthand experience of the challenges experienced by most food business owners while establishing or scaling their food business (as well as the risks of not having these concepts in place).
Subject matter experts come in to teach about:
-
Planning
learn concepts of a one-page business plan providing the foundation for your business
-
Pricing
Investigate and collate costs to price your food product correctly (a huge pitfall!)
-
Packaging
learn basics of physical attributes, food safety, operational efficiency, retail suitability
-
Promotion
research target market, how to approach retailers, determine wholesale vs retail
-
Processes
learn about records and tools to support commercial operation
