🍟 How we got into starting a fry brand (it’s a wild story) It started with the DARKEST MOMENT of our 10 years of being in the food industry: We had finally signed a lease. 6 years of hustling on food trucks and we’d finally done it. We were opening a restaurant. Not only that, it was right next to Nats Ballpark after they won the World Series. They were about to have a blockbuster season with a packed stadium of hungry fans. The year is 2019. We’re supposed to open in Spring 2020. Yeah. That 2020. We were building our first restaurant when the world shut down. We had a 10 year lease and didn’t know when we’d get open. Or if we’d even get open. 6 years of grinding it out and this is what we had. But that rough patch led us to do anything we could to survive. It led us to experimenting with new things. It led us to a category that was ripe for disruption. It’s June 2024. We survived. And now we’re about to launch @jesseandbens into ~50 Whole Foods Market stores all over the Mid-Atlantic (DC, MD, VA, PA). If you’re in your rough patch, keep going. If you’re looking to eat delicious french fries made with simple ingredients and no junk, keep following along and we’ll let you know EXACTLY WHEN you can find us near you. #frenchfries #fries #frozenfood #smallbusiness #entrepreneurship #entrepreneurlife #entrepreneur

So, you’re fired up to launch your food truck but feeling overwhelmed by the maze of licenses and permits? Welcome to the club! It’s like trying to craft the perfect cup of coffee—if you don’t start with the right blend of ingredients, you’re just brewing a bitter mess. So, let’s break down the first steps you need to take, starting with the most critical one: your menu. You can not get ANYWHERE without knowing this. Trust me. #FoodTrucks #FoodEntrepreneurship #FoodBusiness #FoodIndustry #FoodSafety #StartupBusiness #foodvendor #sellingfood #MobileFood

Menu Changes & Practicality Checks 🔄 Whether you're operating a food truck, a hole-in-the-wall, or a cafe bakery, filtering decisions before deciding to change menu items helps sanity-check your decision-making process. Before we get going on up to 20+ stages of menu development #mentorship, we first consider the 4 R's listed below, guiding our entrepreneurs towards a sustainable, well-considered menu. You may find these filters useful when you're next contemplating a change. 🍂 1. Restrictions: i.e., Not enough dietary options? 2. Reasoning: i.e., It has been two years since the last change, and both the team and customers are bored. 3. Requirements: i.e., The menu must be costed, and foodservice and supply chain must be reassessed. 4. Results: i.e., A costed menu with sufficient dietary options that is profitable and keeps my customers happy, and the team excited and involved.
