In episode 150 of the Foodpreneur with Chelsea Ford podcast – the first episode of Season 16, Planning Season – I sit down with Jason Stockton, founder of ERP system, Supply’d, and Patrick LaManna, CEO of LaManna Supermarket and Director of social media sensation Pistachio Papi.
Here’s the thing: even wildly successful brands with a multitude of followers need tight operational systems. They still need to nail forecasting, manage cashflow, and understand true costs. Jason’s Supply’d helps food businesses do exactly that – streamlining inventory, production, and financial planning so you’re not bleeding money as you scale.
This conversation is a reality check for every brand owner who thinks growth solves operational problems. It doesn’t. It exposes them.
Grab your pen and tune in to hear:
💰 What you need to understand your true costs
🏭 How to manage unpredictable ordering patterns
📦 Managing your cashflow when you have multiple sales channels all with different lead times
⏱️ How to prevent overproduction, stockouts, and missed orders
🎯 The forecasting shift that protects your margins when wholesale customers are expecting their order and you can’t just sell them something else
This is the first episode of Season 16 – Planning Season, brought to you by Foodpreneurs Festival. The only Festival where packaged brands get seen, stocked and supported. Jason will be there delivering his workshop, “What’s Eating Your Margin? Uncovering Your Hidden Operational Costs.” for brands at the scale stage of their journey. Make sure you drop into his session or say hi to him in the Festival Fairground!
