I have been an entrepreneur for 15 years and for the last 5 years I have specialised in increasing the profitability of catering businesses. I run two diet catering brands, of which the second of which I have grown from zero to almost 1 million PLN monthly revenue in just 4 months. Based on this experience, I created Flambia - a platform that helps catering owners regain control over costs, eliminate uncertainty and increase profitability. My mission is to support Culinary Entrepreneurs in understanding what is really going on in their businesses, so they can make better decisions, reduce costs and maximise profits.
