There is a language you need to understand if you want to be a 'Business Owner & Operator'. Having a base understanding is a brilliant foundation and an essential part of running a business well. Tasking others to implement, monitor & measure certain areas within your business is how you can off load what overwhelms you while still being in control so consider how that can look for you and your business!!!

We are opening a can of worms because food business owners are being incorrectly informed by some EHO's who are taking the legislation and interpreting it based on their own bias. As a result of this biased interpretations, they are given directives to business owners to carry out 1) structural work which is of enormous expense and in fact unnecessary 2) purchase costly equipment that isn't actually a legal requirement and is causing immense stress and financial pressure 3) they are forcing business owners into a corner by forcing food business owners to make huge and expensive changes to their business... We must open the lines of communication because if we want to see positive change we must understand what is actually happening so a fair assessment can be carried out. Get in touch with me, Blathnaid Bergin & Amy Irwin to help with this topic. It matters. You matter. Our industry matters.Look up www.fsai.ie

I am delighted to have these fabulous women taking part in today's Podcast as both are making huge differences in the Irish Food and Drinks industry through their business offerings.Blathnaid Bergin of The Business of Food and Amy Irwin of Conscious Kitchens.Blathnaid brought to life a huge pain point that food business owners are going through and have been going through for some time- which is the inconsistent application of the food safety law that is affecting all food service kitchens around Ireland- so pubs restaurants, cafes, food trucks...& to be clear- We are talking about people who are doing great work and who are implementing the right practices.Do these pain points resonate with you:EHO's seem to always find problems that in order to resolve end up costing you HUGE money that you don't have? But you feel so under pressure and humiliated that you bow down and behave!!!Then, another EHO, a different EHO to the one that carried out the original inspection comes in and gives you mixed messages and states that you must spend an enormous amount of money on more equipment!!!If you want to learn how to meet your EHO fairly then this is the Podcast for you, as we discuss the issues we look at the solutions and create provocative questions that YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ASK. Buckle up and enjoy taking back control in a calm and measured way, because you deserve that and so does your team.
