The Founder
Hi, I’m Michael, founder of Born & Raised Collective…known as The Waffleman for 10 years!
Food Truck & Catering Business Strategy Session
With nearly 20 years in business and over a decade running my own food truck, Born & Raised Waffles, I have worked across weddings, corporate events, festivals, film shoots, and private parties throughout Northern Ireland and Ireland. That experience gave me a real understanding of what it takes to build a food business that gets booked consistently and attracts the right kind of work.
Along the way, I learned how to market a food business properly, position it with confidence, and avoid the common mistakes that keep many great operators stuck. Most of that learning came from doing the work myself, making decisions under pressure, and figuring out what actually delivers results.
I now work one to one with food truck owners and food based businesses who want clarity, confidence, and practical direction. These sessions are about honest advice, real world experience, and helping you make decisions that move your business forward.
Whether you want better quality bookings, a stronger brand, or a business that feels more sustainable and easier to run, the aim is simple. To help you build something that works for both your income and your life.
