THIRTY-YEAR-OLD Inah Rodriguez, who’s been selling baked goods for 15 years, diversified into dishes ranging from Indian to Italian to maximize profit amid a coronavirus pandemic.
A banker by career, the owner of home-based brand The Sweet Twist said a tenth of her operational costs go into packaging, an industry that has grown in the past year as more people ordered and had their food delivered on their doorsteps.
Ms. Rodriguez chose one of the biggest box manufacturing companies based in Sta. Mesa, Manila as one of her packaging sources. “When you’re the biggest supplier, you tend to sell it a little bit cheaper,” she said in mixed English and Filipino.
