Is your work meaningful?
Meaningful work is a basic human desire. We ask ourselves, am I happy? Is my work a source of fulfillment?
The Business of Food with sponsorship from Business Victoria and Brimbank City Council, as part of the Business Victoria Local Events Program is running a food incubator program to help small businesses and entrepreneurs take their existing recipe to a scalable new level. Learn how to create a product that can be sold at retail, café or restaurant locations. It was a program like this that helped Tully Chanana make his food business dreams come true.
“It was a moment for me to wake up, I can’t live like this for the rest of my life. If somebody asked me on my deathbed what did you do with your whole life, all I can tell them is I worked nine to five. I bought a house; I bought a car and I watched a lot of television. I want to say I made a difference in someone's life. This is my chance to make a difference.”
Tully wants to impact the health of people and the planet with his business for vegan takeaway meals, which thanks to the program is now a compliant food product ready for supermarkets.
Through The Business of Food Incubator Program, five participants will have access to some of the best minds of the Melbourne food ecosystem. Incubator founder, Jane Del Rosso a food business coach with over 10 years’ experience will share her extensive knowledge. Joined by Michelin Starred Chef, Lasse Povlsen, who has worked for Supernormal, Cumulus Inc. and Cutler & Co, will take entrepreneurs through the process of perfecting their recipes. The knowledge provided by our experts is key to producing a market ready product in only eight sessions.
The Business of Food Incubator Program is a group learning environment, for 5 participants, set to commence on October 8th and run until December 4th for one day a week. The group will learn the following skills:

“Consider this an investment. If you're doing it for the right cause, if you're doing it for the right reason, if you have a purpose, and if you're creating value for the customer this investment will pay off sooner rather than later.” Past Program Participant - Tully Chanana – Kindness On A Plate, Takeaway Vegan Food
