Quick Question

I get questions from Founders ALL the time!

Many of the messages that fill my inbox, DMs, etc. start like this, “Hey, quick question…”

You all have such great questions, and it’s often clear that you are thinking about how you can do food business differently. I’m often inspired by your questions and want to answer all of them! But when I contemplate these questions (and my response) it’s often too much to type out, never as quick as the founder thinks it is, and never a one size fits all answer.

With our Quick Question service, you can now get the quick guidance you are looking for without the cost of a 1-on-1 meeting.

You can submit your Quick Question below for $25, and I’ll send you my response via a personalized recording.

Just like your businesses, your questions are unique and there are many things to consider. By recording the answer I am able to provide you with all the information you should consider and lay out all the options to put you on the right path. And, as always, I’ll include my recommendations for any free + low cost resources that can support your work.

What is a quick question?

A Quick Question is any question you have about your business, support partners, or the food industry at large that I can answer without knowing any specific financial details of your business.

Examples of Questions you SHOULD submit:

  • Do you have any tips or guidance as a starting point for how to price for wholesale?

  • What are your thoughts on QuickBooks versus other bookkeeper platforms?

  • How do I classify a particular expense?

  • What systems should I have in place before working with a co-packer?

  • How can I determine my promotion budget?

  • How do I know if my product margin is high enough?

Examples of Questions you SHOULD NOT submit:

  • What should my wholesale price be?

  • Which Quickbooks service level should I chose?

  • What percentage of my revenue should my rent be?

  • Should I have my co-packer buy all of my ingredients?

  • How much should I spend on promotions this year?

  • My product margin is X, is that high enough?

These types of questions require insight into the financial details of your business. For questions like this we have created CFO Office Hours where you can get specific financial guidance for your business from me (The Good Food CFO) and a small group of your peers.

Quick Question is a one time service provided by The Good Food CFO. After submitting your question, you will receive an audio file with a response from The Good Food CFO within 5 business days. Each purchase of the Quick Question service entitles you to a response to one Food Business related question. Please note, if you ask more than one question per submission, you will only receive a response to the first question you submitted.  The response to your question may be repurposed into content for The Good Food CFO Podcast or The Good Food CFO Community, no specific details or information about your business will be shared in that content.
