Beginners guide to setting up your food business from home
DO YOU HAVE A DREAM TO OPEN YOUR OWN FOOD BUSINESS?
People go into business for a variety of reasons. Some want to provide employment for themselves, while others are motivated by the challenge of being their own boss. The hospitality industry is an attractive investment as it can have comparatively low start-up costs. It is also enticing because eating and drinking is something that we do every day and therefore it makes everyone an expert!
Some essential characteristics
- A genuine desire to make people feel welcome
- Being good company with a generous and giving nature
- Relentless attention to detail.
- Being knowledgeable, curious and enthusiastic about your product
- A willingness to anticipate customers’ needs

We’ll provide all the materials, easy guidance, and an open-hearted, supportive teaching environment to encourage you to make whatever you like! Participants will be shown how to make a mug, a bowl, a planter or a pet, but they are more than welcome to bring their own ideas.

🌸 Clay and professional guidance
🎨 A wide range of tools, paints and brushes
🎶 A fun, supportive atmosphere with music and good vibes
