Are you a young entrepreneur interested in the food industry but not sure where to start? Meet Tasha Heck, owner of Healthy You Cafe in Enola, Pennsylvania, who turned her culinary roots and persistence into a profitable business.
Tasha worked under the previous owner for seven years before stepping into ownership in January 2024 at age 30. In that same season, she also launched a food truck. In this episode, she shares how she pushed past insecurity, learned to say no, and built confidence like a muscle while managing a small but powerful team.
At Healthy You, about 95% of items are made in-house. Dressings and sauces are created from scratch, chicken is sourced fresh from a local butcher, and favorites like the Hot Honey Chicken Salad keep customers coming back. Tasha also shares her next big vision: a commercial production kitchen and a retail line for her sauces and dressings.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
•How seven years of apprenticeship prepared Tasha for ownership
•Simple ways to stop self-sabotage and avoid burnout
•How to build real confidence through consistent action
•What it takes to run lean teams and keep food truly fresh
•The keys to pricing, portions, and customer satisfaction
•Tasha’s future plans for growth and expansion
