Agenda

Building a food brand that scales is hard. The early traction is one thing. Turning that into a brand that holds up as it grows, across teams, locations, and demand, is a different challenge altogether. It takes the right growth choices, operations that do not break under scale, and a clear sense of the economics that keep it all healthy.

We will hear from food founders who have built and scaled their brands. They will talk about when and how to grow, how to keep quality consistent as the brand expands, what to standardize and what to leave flexible, and how to think about partners and franchising as part of the journey.

We will get into the unit economics too. What a healthy model looks like, how the numbers shift as you scale, what support a growing brand actually needs, and the mistakes that cost the most in the early push to expand.

If you are building a food brand and thinking about how to scale it, come join the conversation.
