Food business program
Brisbane’s cafés and restaurants are working on their businesses, not just in them, through a fully-funded food business development program.
About the program
In 2026, Brisbane City Council is giving food businesses an opportunity to work on their business, not just in it, through a fully funded development program.
The program gives you access to leading industry experts and practical, real-world tools to strengthen every part of your business.
Participants will work directly with Imagine Collective, a Brisbane-based consulting group specialising in:
- operational excellence
- menu engineering
- COGS (cost of goods sold) control
- marketing strategy
- customer experience
- scalable systems.
Applications for the 2026 food business program are now closed.
