Kacey Anton of Spark Business Consulting
Today we have another episode from our Women in Food series where we have teamed up with Courtney Doyle of Clandestine Kitchen to dive into the South Shore Food scene. We are speaking with Kasey Anton, former Restaurateur turned Bookkeeper. After living the high-end (and low-end) restaurateur lifestyle and experiencing the BEST and WORST of that world, Kasey decided to take her knowledge and true-life experiences and turn it into a business that can help others navigate some of the pitfalls of entrepreneurship. Kasey became a Profit First Professional Mastery Member, one of less than 50 in the world, and now works with businesses all across the US to help “eradicate entrepreneurial poverty”.
Kasey dives into her background and what led her to create Spark Business Consulting as well as how many years she worked in the restaurant industry before making the transition. She talks about her mentors along the way and what the transition was like going behind the scenes in the industry from a new perspective. She talks through the challenges that females face in the restaurant industry as well as how she balances being a mom and entrepreneur. Kasey touches on her offerings and pivots during the pandemic as well as what challenges the restaurant industry has been facing. We discuss why local communities should focus on supporting local and how people can help support local businesses during this time. Kasey dives into her passions and daily interactions with clients as well as advice for those looking to go into the food industry/restaurant ownership route. She also talks about her favorite local restaurants, her ideal client and more.

Today’s episode is brought to you by Canva Pro. Many of you know that my background is in graphic design. I currently still handle all of the design here at The Collective Co. everything from our social media graphics to our outreach templates and website design. But I want to let you in on a new tool that I’ve started using. I almost exclusively now use Canva Pro for all of my design needs. It has made it so easy for me to set up our brand elements and create templates so that when I need something quickly made I can jump right in. Canva pro is filled with pre-designed templates, fonts, graphics and even photographs that all seamlessly come together. It is one of the tools I use at The Collective Co. almost daily and I can’t recommend it enough. As a designer I almost feel like I’m cheating but it is that easy to create beautiful branded elements for your business. Visit this link to get started!
