Salmon Feast
Salmon Feast offers a range of powerful selling points for self-motivated individuals and families who join our system.
The strong foundation of Salmon Feast is the value-for-money that is inherent in the excellence of our authentic aboriginal food products and gift items. Added to that are the complete mobility and flexibility of our system. The cart can be towed to culturally significant sites, festivals, parks or even roadside lookouts. Immediately, the availability of the food adds an extra, authentically aboriginal element to the experience that drew the tourist to that location in the first place.
The highly visible carts catch the eye and draw the attention of passersby. That makes them ideal sites for advertising other aboriginal tourism attractions in the area. And because they are places where many visitors experience a rewarding encounter with traditional culture for the first time, they can serve to draw interested newcomers into contact with local artists and craftspeople. They can also act as a means of gathering market information from visitors. Together, these elements make Salmon Feast a unique mechanism for tying together different elements of a local aboriginal tourism strategy.
But whatever big-picture applications may come out of Salmon Feast, the core of our vision is the grassroots approach. Salmon Feast is designed to be a business that any family can run as a mom-and-pop-and-kids enterprise. We are strongly focused on finding and developing family-based partners.
We are now actively seeking interested individuals. But the selection of new Salmon Feast operators involves an extensive interview process. Not everyone who applies will meet the criteria to be a Salmon Feast partner. For mutual success and satisfaction, we must ensure that each partner possesses the necessary entrepreneurial drive, management skills and dedication that is required in today’s competitive market place.
New partners undergo an intensive one-week training program at Salmon Feast’s training centre on Saratoga Beach south of Campbell River. The Salmon Feast school includes a longhouse classroom and a fully operational cart, providing trainees with intensive hands-on experience in the preparation and selling of all our products. Strong emphasis is placed on food handling and hygiene procedures, customer service, equipment maintenance and a deeper understanding of aboriginal cultures. If you have been waiting for a golden opportunity, here it is.
We provide you with a customized serving cart, full training, and the Salmon Feast products.
We can even help you secure government funding to launch your business.
