Hello again! Remind us who you are and what business you started.
Hello again! My name is Jessica Baumgart, and in 2017 I started a food tour company named Delicious Denver Food Tours in Denver, CO. At the time, I was also teaching private cooking classes in people’s homes, so I initially started my food tour as a side hustle to that business. However, as the food tour grew and gained in popularity, I decided to phase out my cooking business to focus on what was really working.
In 2017 I started with one tour, our Downtown Denver Food Tour. I approached award-winning, locally-owned restaurants in the downtown area and negotiated discounts on food tastings for my tour groups. Once I had relationships built and a tour route and script set, I built a basic SquareSpace website (the same one I use today!) and started listing my tours on OTAs (online travel agencies), which are third party sites like Viator and Airbnb Experiences, that sell tours while taking a cut.
