Having growth goals is one thing...and then being able to produce your product, move it where it needs to go, and keep up with demand is another.

In this episode of our Business Maintenance Check series, Clint and I look at the operations side of your food business and why what works today may not continue to be the right fit as your business grows.

You'll hear:

• The pros and cons of making your product yourself vs. working with a co-manufacturer
• Why strong supplier relationships matter more than you might think
• How terms, inventory turns, and cash management connect to operational decisions
• Using sales and inventory data to forecast what you'll need before you need it
• Why it's worth reassessing your operations as your business and goals evolve
• ...and the game Clint always wanted as a kid but never got (any guesses?!)

Think of this as a check-in on what your business needs now, what it may need next, and where changes could help you stay aligned with where you're working to go.

Want to dig deeper into operations? Clint references our previous conversation with his Start Right Foods co-founder Kyle about the operational side of running a food business.
