In every new business there are hard lessons to be learned, and each industry comes with its own unique complications and legal considerations. The food industry, though? It’s in its own league. There is a dense forest of information (and misinformation), more risk of legal consequences, and a volatile supply chain that can be affected by anything from weather to healthy airborne bacteria.
If your business idea is too good not to pursue, and if you’re ready to take on the challenge, welcome, intrepid entrepreneur. We’re here to help you succeed and sell items online. This video will guide you step by step as well as provide you with some food business ideas. So let’s get started!

    Hi. Only if I had come across this video 2 years ago. I actually did build a website for a food ingredient about the same time, but without any help, I only had one sale so far from the website. Does Shopify provide any one-to-one tutorial? By the way, the video is very encouraging and helpful. Thank you.

    Did you end up setting up your Shopify store? I tried for my online bakery but it was near impossible to get it right. I heard from a few online bakers that Hotplate is muchhhh easier to use

    Great advice in this video. The hospitality food business is risky in any way. Recrute restaurant consultant, chef, lawyer and accountant before starting, or if you looking for improvements.
