Description:
Food Industry Plan It! is a comprehensive entrepreneur training program designed for people interested in opening or expanding a food-based business — such as restaurants, cafés, food trucks, catering services, or food products. Participants develop business fundamentals and complete a solid business plan through weekly sessions. The cohort includes in-person instruction (or virtual if needed), with personalized support from trainers and up to one year of one-on-one coaching hours. Fees are offered on a sliding scale based on income and location.
