“Luck is not a business model” — Anthony Bourdain. An all-too-common business story goes like this: You craft a business plan, make a splash with your launch, deliver a knock-out product, and start filling orders... But soon enough, you find yourself making cuts and scrambling to sell your way out of a cash crunch. The money you expected isn't there, and you're living month-to-month.
A lot of entrepreneurs get into business without a clear, detailed view of how the thing they're building is actually going to make money. What they need is a business model.
To help you build (or refine) your business model, we teamed up with Kasey Anton, restauranteur with over 20 years of experience, Founder of Spark Consulting (top 1% of all bookkeeping & consulting firms in size and revenue) and Author of Profit First for Restaurants.
