More About Brittany
Brittany worked in staffing for 10 years where she learned the key to business is knowing THE CUSTOMER IS KING and understanding their core motivation.

Brittany is fascinated by studying people's motivations and crafting and tailoring her pitch and product around the number one driver of successes - the other. While she didn’t have a background in the food industry, her passion for cooking coupled with her hustle heart and figure out mentality provided an avenue for this startup.
