Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Amy Sherman, founder of Honey Bee Meals, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Honey Bee Meals meal delivery service prepares and delivers healthy and delicious ready-to-eat meals straight to the doorsteps of our customers throughout the Greater Toronto Area. All of the meals are carefully crafted and portioned to suit a variety of lifestyles and health goals. They are all free from gluten, dairy, soy, and nuts. Honey Bee Meals eliminates the need to grocery shop, cook, and clean, leaving customers with more free time and less stress. We make eating nutritious food convenient and tasty.
Honey Bee Meals customers are busy bees juggling multiple items on their to-do lists (like a full work schedule and caring for a young family) and want to leave the meal planning, shopping, chopping, and cooking to us!
Tell us about yourself
I began cooking healthy & delicious meals in my parents’ kitchen six years ago – I wanted to make eating well easy and delicious for my friends and family. What started as a side hustle has now grown into one of the top meal delivery options in the city! I played NCAA basketball and always had an interest in food. I went back to school to become a Certified Holistic & Sports Nutritionist and CF-L2 Trainer.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Starting and running a business comes with many milestones and accomplishments. What I am most proud of is having an amazing team who are good at what they do and, in turn, allow me to enjoy the non-business time. In early business days, it was not uncommon for the business owner to do it all - and that was certainly the case with me!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Not working 24/7!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Three questions to think about:
- What need are you seeking to fulfill?
- How are you different?
- How will your audience hear about you?
Where can people find you and your business?
