FUNDAY Sweets: Food Manufacturing, FMCG Sales, R&D
Today we have the pleasure of delving into the delightful world of healthy confectionery with Daniel Kitay, the founder of FUNDAY Sweets. Daniel's journey is a testament to his passion for wellness and his bold leap from a well-paid job into the entrepreneurial realm. With a background in regulatory aspects of products, primarily in the wellness industry, he applied his knowledge to create gummy products that would revolutionise the confectionery market.
FUNDAY Sweets experienced significant growth, thanks to a pivotal moment when Chemist Warehouse placed a substantial initial order and their own online store flourished. Daniel discusses the challenges of breaking into major retailers like Woolworths and Coles, emphasising that the days of easily securing a spot on their shelves are gone. He highlights the competitive nature of the food and beverage industry, where the first few weeks can determine a product's fate.
Daniel shares a valuable perspective on the notion of quitting, asserting that quitting at the right time can be a positive decision. The future for FUNDAY Sweets looks promising, with plans to expand to more retailers in Australia and exploring opportunities for global expansion.
Tune in to explore the sweet success story of FUNDAY Sweets and Daniel Kitay's journey to healthier confectionery.
