Hi everyone! My name is Sonia and I just started a vegan takeout/delivery kitchen. English is my third language so please feel free to ask me questions if my sentences don’t make sense Hopefully, I can rephrase them.
After almost 5 months, I barely make enough money to cover our Chef paycheck (I’m paying from my pocket for rent, ingredients, advertising, …). I had savings for start up and I was ready for losing money for at least one year. However, I’m getting close to losing all my saving in the middle of the process. The quality of our food is really good (organic ingredients, no cross contamination..,) and our reviews are fantastic. The biggest problem I see is that my kitchen only serves customers with plant based life style. I’m vegan too and don’t want to add animal products to my menu. So I have been looking for a way to expand my options by adding gluten free items which helped a little but not significantly. I was thinking to sell our vegan breakfast bowl with vegan sausages gravy and sausage pizza which are our most popular items in whole foods market. However, I have a hard time to start working on this and understanding the steps (specially for packaging and nutrition label…). I would appreciate it if you can help me with understanding the process. I also love to hear your feedback and suggestions about my business. Is there anything I need to focus on before looking for an opportunity to work with Whole Foods? Thanks for your time. Your advice means a world to me.
