I worked in food service, our family were part-owners of a small breakfast restaurant, and I've started some businesses without a plan and failed, so I know what not to do! I've also worked with small food business owners who did not plan their business, were overwhelmed and cannot determine if they're truly making money or not. Don't be that person!~Karen from Hoonui
