Zero-Cost Intern Power
How to Scale Your Food Business with Paid Student Talent (Without Paying a Dime)
This session also welcomes industries outside food and beverage, who identify in the early stage of business.
Can you imagine this? Build a team at zero cost, gain 60+ hours of support, and finally delegate without burnout.
Ever feel like you’re doing everything yourself — marketing, logistics, admin, content — but still don’t have the budget to hire?
In this bonus session from the Kitchen to Commerce Series, StellaEats founder Primie Cegnar will show you how to scale smarter — not harder — by accessing government-funded interns to support your food business with zero out-of-pocket cost.
Whether you’re a vendor, startup founder, or food entrepreneur, this session will give you real strategies to grow your capacity without the chaos.
