All the information in the two day workshop on law, management, marketing, operations... as well as new ideas were unbelievable. At least I know what is involved in handling and managing a food business. Thank you Linda for your precious help.

Linda has a vast knowledge of restaurant and catering management. The workshop had lots of information relevant to my business. I would definitely download her user friendly eGuides in the near future.

Vanitha LangKastury's Indian Cuisine

I learnt how to start up a food business - from setting up, to costing, management and marketing. I can highly recommend A La Carte Training workshops and eGuides so you can avoid what not to do before you start your food business.
