Our Workshops
Focused sessions that move from concept to practice. Each workshop is built around calculations and exercises using real food business scenarios.
Cost Fundamentals for Food Products
Most food entrepreneurs have a rough sense of what their ingredients cost. This workshop goes further. You will learn to build a complete cost picture for any product you make.
The session covers every cost category that belongs in your calculation, including the ones that are easy to forget.
- Ingredient cost per unit with correct unit conversions
- Yield and waste percentage calculations
- Packaging and labeling cost allocation
- Labor time costing for home and small-scale production
- Energy and utility cost estimation methods
Break-Even in Practice
The break-even point is one of the most useful numbers a food entrepreneur can know. It tells you exactly how much you need to sell at your current price to stop losing money.
This session walks through the calculation step by step, then participants apply it to their own business data.
- Distinguishing fixed from variable costs in food production
- Contribution margin calculation and interpretation
- Break-even unit and revenue calculation
- Scenario analysis: what changes if costs rise or price changes
Pricing for Sustainability
Knowing your costs is the foundation. Pricing is the structure you build on top. This workshop connects cost knowledge to pricing decisions in a practical, step-by-step format.
- Markup vs. margin: understanding the difference and when to use each
- Setting margin targets that account for growth and reinvestment
- Price positioning in your market context
- Applying pricing logic across a multi-product range
Session format
Each workshop is designed to be practical from the first minute. No lengthy theory blocks.
Sessions take place at our Xalapa, Veracruz location. Small group format allows for direct interaction.
Every concept is followed immediately by a calculation exercise using real or realistic numbers.
Participants leave with templates they can reuse for their own products after the session.
Limited group sizes allow for focused attention and relevant examples for each participant.
