Food business workshops to get you on track

Covering all your business pain points - from compliance to consumer demand.

These are one-off workshops, from 45 minutes to three hours long, where we take a deep-dive into a single topic and answer your questions.

They’re open to anyone, and perfect for those who are either starting out or who just want to get some more knowledge on one particular subject. You’ll meet others in your industry, learn necessary skills, hear from relevant experts, and apply your newfound practical knowledge to your business straight away.

We cover a huge range of topics, including regulations and compliance, marketing, branding and packaging, consumer demand testing, and process development. Our courses focus on specific pain-points for new businesses, with many held in an industrial kitchen you can hire.

“Jane Del Rosso was amazing. She is a fantastic facilitator. Jane has great skills and knowledge. Extra sessions to see her outside of the course were really helpful– they personalised the Program to my business idea and let all the participants address any other issues they had. The Program is perfect for someone starting a food business as it covers all the basics.”

“I attended the Business of Food Expo in March 2018 as I had an idea for a food product. It was here that I met Jane Del Rosso and her team at The Business of Food. It was a fantastic event and inspired me to get going with my food idea. I do not have a background in the food industry but Jane has guided me through the process of setting up a food business, including how to identify my target market, where to get ingredients, how to approach retailers and distributors, on how to price my product and so on. With help from the TBOF team as well as my food safety consultant, I now produce my gelato under Dairy Food Safe regulation and sell my product in a number of premium retail outlets as well as delivering direct to consumers. My journey would definitely not have happened without the help of Jane and The Business of Food. I cannot recommend the services they provide highly enough.”
