Start Your Kitchen-to-Cash Journey
You do not have to begin with a big shop or expensive equipment. You can start by researching one product, calculating its cost, practising the recipe, and checking whether people in your area want to buy it.
Remember that a food business requires good hygiene, careful costing, and an understanding of local regulations. Sales and profits are not guaranteed, but preparation can help you make more informed decisions.
