Mentoring

Training ends in the kitchen, but the business starts after it.

After any programme, graduates can take three months of mentoring, an optional extra for ₦10,000, to turn what they learnt into real, paying orders. Mentors are experienced caterers and business people across Nigeria, including in the local area.

Month 1: Start

A simple business plan; your first ten paid orders; a WhatsApp Business catalogue and a sales and expense book.

Month 2: Steady

Reviewing records and prices with your mentor; fixing quality or delivery problems; collecting reviews.

Month 3: Grow

A three-month profit check; planning equipment, staff or new products; deciding the next steps for your business.

How it works

A WhatsApp group for each batch, a monthly group meeting online, and a one-to-one call each month with a mentor. Graduates with a mentor nearby can also meet in person.

What you bring

Your sales and expense book and photos of your products to each monthly meeting.
