POV: You ask your chef for the recipe and suddenly it becomes a business negotiation. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

Mr. Numbers did ONE calculation and decided we should just keep our money. ๐Ÿ’€

But somewhere between the jokes, thereโ€™s a real business lesson here:

A business should never depend on one person. Not even the founder.

Recipes. Systems. Processes. Standards.

Thatโ€™s how you protect the quality people love โ€” while building something that can actually grow.

So yesโ€ฆ Madam Pottรฉ has entered her systems era. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Chef Potta is not impressed.

And Mr. Numbers?

Please keep that bird away from management. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

We cancelled the marketโ€ฆ and Chef Potta is taking it VERY personally ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ญ

Mr. Numbers only cares about one thing: the spreadsheet.

Meanwhile Madam Pottรฉ is just trying to keep the peace inside this trailer ๐Ÿ˜‚

Welcome to another day Inside the Pott โ€” where running a food truck is never just about the food.

EPISODE 4: WE CANCELLED THE MARKET

Calgary, this one is for every small business owner who has ever had to choose between โ€œmaybe weโ€™ll make moneyโ€ and โ€œwe are definitely going to spend money.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Follow for Episode 5.

Calgary, we need to talk. ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ

If Nigerian food has been sitting on your โ€œI need to try thatโ€ listโ€ฆ consider this your sign.

Smoky jollof rice. Juicy seasoned chicken. Sweet fried plantain. And yes โ€” we take the flavour seriously. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Apparently, portion control is now a workplace issue at NativPott. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

Chef Potta believes if you're paying for food, you should leave SATISFIED.

Mr. Numbers believes Chef Potta is personally trying to bankrupt the company. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

And Madam Pottรฉ? She's just trying to keep the peace.
Welcome back to INSIDE THE POTT โ€” Episode 3: Portion Control ๐Ÿ˜‚

The completely normal daily life of a Calgary food truck trying to serve bold African flavours without Mr. Numbers having a financial breakdown.

Now settle this argument for us:

Who is right โ€” Chef Potta ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿฝโ€๐Ÿณ or Mr. Numbers ๐Ÿงฎ?

And Calgaryโ€ฆ if you haven't tried NativPott yet, what are you waiting for? ๐Ÿ‘€

Mr. Numbers has officially had enough of Madam Pottรฉ. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜‚

โ€œThey said thereโ€™ll be traffic.โ€

If youโ€™ve ever run a food business in Calgary, you already know those can be very expensive words. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Episode 2 of Inside the Pott is inspired by the very real adventures of building NativPott, our Calgary food truck โ€” the events, the food, the bills, the lessons and the absolute chaos behind the scenes. ๐Ÿ˜‚

And yesโ€ฆ some of these conversations are becoming a little TOO close to real life. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Calgary, where should NativPott pull up next? ๐Ÿ‘€

Welcome to Episode 1 of INSIDE THE POTT! ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿ˜‚

Madam Pottรฉ has a plan.

Feed 1,000 people. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Mr. Numbers has looked at the numbers.

โ€œNo.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Chef Potta has also seen this movie before. ๐Ÿ˜‚

But Madam Pottรฉ?
She believes in compromiseโ€ฆ

โ€œOkay, fine. 900.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ
And just like that, welcome to another perfectly normal day at NativPott. ๐Ÿ˜‚

The funniest part? This episode is inspired by the REAL conversations, chaos and big dreams happening behind the scenes as we prepare for Seafood City Calgary this weekend! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ”ฅ

So now the real question isโ€ฆ

Is Madam Pottรฉ crazy, or should we actually prepare for 900 people? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿพ

Tell us in the comments because Mr. Numbers needs backup.
