On the final day of class we conducted our entrepreneurial experience. We also discussed in class, other groups experiences. For my group we made and served Mexican food to students and staff. This taught me a slight bit about the food industry, which I learned is much harder than I had previously believed. You must have a very good idea do how many guests you will serve, as your thawing out meat which means the meat must be cooked soon or it will spoil which would waste your money. Knowing how much of what to use is the most difficult part. We spent to much on some items and to enough on others. This ultimately had us running out of some things before we would run out of others. Then some items we had a large amount of leftovers. The cooking process also isn't easy, especially seeing as this was one of maybe ten times I have truly cooked for other people. I have made plenty of simple meals for myself, but not a ton that take to much preparation. I learned from this that there is a lot more to a buisness than what it will ever sound like when it is just a concept. Bringing something to life takes lots of time and effort, but if its what you wanna do it can be very rewarding in the end.
