In honor of their family business, The Serving Spoon acknowledges how difficult starting a restaurant can be and is committed to supporting others on a similar journey. Those starting out as food vendors have an opportunity to build their brand, their signature dishes and their audience by traveling to flea and farmers markets, but support and resources are often scarce in our community. We want to support these growing businesses by partnering with organizations like yours to contribute to the growth and acceleration of small businesses by offering:
- Financial support:
- A monthly donation will be gifted to a new food vendor each month to support the purchase of raw materials, licenses, permits & other vendor fees. The goal is to give $500 to at least one business, each month.
- Business resources: Monthly meetings or webinars will be offered to all food vendor applicants to receive information about available city and government resources.
- Career coaching: Access to free career development resources, via partners like you, as well as access to schedule monthly 1-on-1 meetings with The Serving Spoon owners and alum.
- Partnership opportunities: By partnering with The Serving Spoon and affiliated partners to host events, emerging local food vendors will receive an opportunity to test out their dishes and introduce their brands to The Spooner's community.
