Food Costing and Pricing | Foodtrepreneurs Collective

July last year, I hesitantly launched Foodtrepreneurs Month. I shared four negosyo recipes along with a learning topic about running a food business. I was not really sure what to expect. Will you be interested in those? Will it be of help to you?
Seven months later, I still cannot believe how so many people have expressed gratitude over these videos. Thank you so much for letting me know how I have helped and inspired you. It means a lot to me! Moving forward, I intend to produce more learning videos. Through these videos, I hope to empower and encourage aspiring and growing foodtrepreneurs. I will try my best to discuss concepts or topics that are going to be useful to you and make it as simple and clear as possible.
---
To jump off this endeavor, I have isolated the learning parts of the videos I published during Foodtrepreneurs Month for easy access. This first one is all about Costing and Pricing. It is linked with my Polvoron a la Goldilocks recipe, you can also check it out here: • How to Make Polvoron |...
---
In line with this, I also invite you to join my closed FB group for aspiring and growing foodtrepreneurs: / foodtrepreneurscollective . We are now in the membership building stage and it is my aim for it to be a community where people can freely share, learn and inspire each other because doing food business is hard and we need all the help we can get. It will also be where we deepen our discussion and engagement with regards to the learning videos published here on KZbin.
