Kate's Culinary Success Story
Financial Clarity Leads to Entrepreneurial Freedom
Client Background:
Kate, the heart and soul behind a thriving food services business, embarked on an entrepreneurial journey with a passion for culinary, plant-packed, gut-balanced nutrition, but after a few years of growth, was feeling like things were getting away from her. Struggling to see through the numbers and chaos, and achieve a sustainable profit margin, she found herself not being able to keep up with the mental math, or answer questions like how much money she had to spend on an ingredient, employee or a piece of equipment.
Challenges:
The blend of all business transactions in one pot — a single bank account — was Kate's primary hurdle. It muddled her understanding of the business's financial performance.
The Profit Mama's Approach:
Kate joined ProfitFULL and we whipped up a recipe for her success …see what I did there? ;)
Implementing Profit First:
First, we introduced the Profit First system, segmenting Kate's sole business banking account into multiple categories for profit, taxes, operational costs, and owner's pay. This move garnished Kate's business with the clarity it craved.
Pricing Strategy Revamp:
With increased financial transparency, we shifted our focus to adding confidence into Kate's pricing approach. "Gabbie helped me so much... also like the mental aspect, just having the confidence to raise our prices," Kate shared, underscoring the psychological boost she received.
Cost Analysis & Price Adjustment:
Together, we dissected Kate's food costs and crafted a strategy for price adjustments that Kate felt comfortable with. "We just sort of broke down how much I was really spending on food and figured out a percentage that I was comfortable with raising," Kate explained.
Outcomes:
Implementing the Profit First system and raising her prices seasoned Kate's business with an average 10% monthly revenue increase, enabling her to enjoy a fully paid maternity leave. The financial clarity led to operational confidence and peace of mind. "It feels important because I'm able to show up in a different way for my employees and confidently make decisions," Kate reflected on the transformation.
Conclusion:
Kate's journey from financial confusion to clarity and profit is a showcase of ProfitFULL’s power to turn the tables on business finance woes. Kate's story is a beacon for business owners navigating the fiscal fog.
