From Zero to Unforgettable Grand Opening (In Under a Year)

Do you always catch yourself imagining what life would be like if you owned your own restaurant or bakery? Have you ever imagined saying "I quit" to your boss and walking out to finally create your own path? How long have you been imagining this for? Do you keep telling yourself you will have a successful restaurant or bakery but it’s just not the right time? Have you caught yourself saying “I’ll do it later”?
I hate to say this, but for most people “later” never happens. People always think that “later” they will have more time, more money, and less obstacles. Instead, you need to know that there will ALWAYS be a reason to push it until “later”.
What if I told you that if you start now, you can be at the Grand Opening of your first restaurant or bakery location in just one year? I can tell you first hand, that cutting your Grand Opening ribbon and opening the doors to your restaurant or bakery will be one of the most exciting moments of your life.
What’s been stopping you? Are you scared of what your family or friends might think? Are you afraid you will fail? Are you not sure where to start or afraid you’ll get stuck along the journey? Do you just not believe your dream can happen to you? Stop convincing yourself out of it. If this is truly something you want, you need to do this for YOU. This reality is 100% achievable with the right guidance and direction. So stop procrastinating and coming up with excuses. Your time is NOW. Let’s start building your success story!
Starting your own restaurant or bakery doesn't have to be difficult. Usually it takes months of learning the process, steps, and pitfalls through searching online for any articles you can find. Even after months of searching these articles, you often will make a huge amount of mistakes that will cost you money and time. Instead of having to figure out all the steps and how to do them, we will walk you through exactly what you need to do and in what order. We will walk you through common mistakes that lead to entrepreneurs losing a lot of time and money. You are no longer alone. We want you to succeed and we're ready to help!
WHO IS THIS COURSE FOR?
Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced Idea Stages. Whether you are at the idea stage or whether you have already taken a few steps toward starting your restaurant or bakery, this course will take you from where you are now to a successful grand opening day!
People who want to lead their own tribe. You want to build a team around starting your restaurant brand and establish a growing customer base (and a loyal customer base you build through awesome marketing!)
People who want to SAVE TIME and MONEY on research and mistakes. We have been through it ALL. We will advise you against all the common mistakes in starting a restaurant or bakery. We will also walk you through each step from idea to grand opening so you don't have to figure out "what to do next?"
People who want to make a change to improve their lives. If you have been dreaming of starting your own restaurant or bakery then it's time you make a change. You shouldn't be spending each day on something you don't want to be doing. People regret the chances they didn't take in life, not the chances they did take.
People who want to make a full-time income off baking or cooking. Everyone needs money to survive and do the things they love. You might as well make a full-time income doing something you love and enjoy!
WHO IS THIS COURSE NOT FOR?
"Get rich quick" wannabes. This is NOT a "get rich quick" play. This will take time and effort but all the steps you take, will lead you toward owning something you love and achieving your dreams. You must put work in to get results.
People who won't take risk to achieve their dreams. Everyone who achieved their dreams in life, had to take a risk to make it there. You will be taking a risk starting your own business but it is worth it! You will need to either find funding for your business or be able to self fund it. You can also start your business at home or in a commercial kitchen like we did and move to a location when you are ready. This course will prepare your brand, concept, and logistics so that you will be ready to open a location when the opportunity presents itself.
COURSE CURRICULIUM
This course will be dripped out over the next few weeks. A new module will be opened up every few days. This way, you will get a chance to ask questions that I can include in future modules. You will also have the opportunity to take the course in a pace that gives you time to plan your restaurant or bakery effectively. Right now, only two modules show in the curriculum because those are the two that you will have access to immediately. A third module will open up in just a few days. Since you can't see all the modules quite yet, I will list them below. These modules could be tweaked based on questions and popular requests, given this is the initial launch of the course and I am working with you all:

Your Instructor
Cass started her first bakery with her partner, Bran, when they graduated from college and were broke and living in her car. They called every restaurant in town, begging them to let them use their kitchen in their off-hours at night to get their start. After over 100 phone calls, they finally found a local bagel shop owner who said yes! Cookie Munchers was born. A few months later, they moved out of the bagel shop and started their first location. Now, the business has grown to two successful bakery locations in New Jersey and Florida.
They have appeared in newspapers such as Tampa Bay Times, Creative Loafing, Philadelphia Inquirer, SNJ Today, The Courier Post, Fox 29, the Whit. They have been vlogging on YouTube since the first day starting their bakery out of the bagel shop. Since then, their YouTube channel has grown to over 5000+ subscribers and over 400,000 views from around the globe.
