Post-it notes, chaos and tech! New webinar series + I'd love your feedback!
Hey Foodies!
I’ve been thinking lately about creating a new webinar series — one that focuses purely on the tools and tech that help food truck owners actually run their business smoother.
Not in a salesy way, but in a “here’s what I wish I had known back then” kind of way.
Like this one time in the early days of my smoothie truck…
We were at a super busy event, orders were flying in and we were still using post-it notes to take orders (yup, really - this was 2016).
Then suddenly — whoosh — a massive gust of wind swept across the bench and took all of the notes with it. Chaos followed. Orders got mixed up, people got grumpy and I learned the hard way that systems matter.
So now I’m toying with the idea of sharing the actual tools I use and recommend: from order systems to budgeting apps, menu costing calculators and even how I plan content each week.
But before I dive in, I’d love to know:
👉 Would this be helpful for you?
👉 What areas do you wish you had more tools or structure around?
Just hit reply and let me know — whether it’s managing your finances, creating a menu, finding events, compliance tools or something else entirely.
Your feedback will shape the series. I’m here to help you skip the chaos (and the flying post-it notes) and start strong.
What I'm Loving This Week:
📖 Reading: "Feel-Good Productivity" by Ali Abdaal – practical, science-backed ways to work smarter without burning out.
🎧 Listening: The Diary of a CEO – Steven Bartlett’s episode with Martha Lane Fox (a great one for mindset and leadership)
💡 Learning: Playing with ChatGPT more to speed up content and planning — seriously loving it!
Talk soon,
