I have experience in small restaurants (both working in and owning) spanning about 40 years on and off. This includes startups, menu planning, advertising, cost control and analysis, sourcing, hiring strategies, day to day operations, and many other related topics. My background includes qualifying as a Certified Professional Chef, ServSafe Managers Certificate, Food and Beverage Specialist, among many others too numerous to mention here. Along with those qualifications I have a few hundred hours studying Marketing and Sales Psychology, Highly Effective Passive Advertising and Subliminal Sales Techniques, and have a proven background.I have also helped people start Cottage Food businesses from their home and possess quite a bit of information on the topic to help others and guide them down the right path. Creating custom one of a kind recipes is one of my specialties.
