Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Shawna Hafenrichter, Founder of Best Mobile Chef, located in Round Rock, TX, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are a private chef and catering company.

Tell us about yourself

I've been in the food industry for over 35 years. I started as a pastry chef, where I worked for 25 years before taking the leap of faith going into Savory cooking. When my clients tell me how much they really enjoyed my food, that motivates me. Food is like giving a hug, and don't we all need a little more hugs?

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment was quitting my job, starting with nothing, and making this company grow. It was scary but necessary to go outside my comfort zone to find my true calling. It has been a wonderful journey!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Living up to the word "BEST," as the company name says. It is important to me that we offer the best food, service, and experience.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Get input from people in the business.
  2. Start your web page.
  3. Network.

Where can people find you and your business?
