Find a Bulk Supplier

In order to keep costs down, you’ll need to purchase your raw food supplies in bulk. And depending on which type of food you sell, you may have to use more than one supplier to get what you need. Start looking at the most popular bulk food suppliers like foodservicedirect.com, Sysco, and U.S. Foods. You may want to look for local sources of specialty foods by searching out local farms, vendors at farmer’s markets and co-ops.

Price Your Product

You’ll need to find the sweet spot in your pricing to ensure that the price is affordable to customers, while still netting a decent profit for you. In addition to checking out your competition’s pricing, you’ll need to determine your exact costs in order to set a profitable price point. One of the best tools I’ve found is this food product cost and pricing spreadsheet. It costs $50, and you can view a video here about how to best use it. .

Market Your Business

Now that you’ve done all you can to ensure your business is set up properly and have begun making your food products, it’s time to get the word out about your business. Start with the logical—friends and family, and then tackle your social media channels. If you plan to run a local food business, reach out to the people and organizations that would benefit from your products. If you want to sell nationally, you’ll need to create a website and work on SEO tactics so customers can find you.

A love for all things food is one of the most important traits you’ll need to make it in this business, but you will also need a good head on your shoulders when it comes to business. You’ll need to source products for a reasonable price and then figure out how to create unique, artisan products from those bulk ingredients that people want to buy.

Not a foodie? Well, then let’s move on our next chapter. It’s one of the most misunderstood business ideas in modern history.
