Kathryn James replied to PHLChocolate's discussion New store coming soon...so much to think about in the group Startup Central"Good luck to you!

Kathryn James replied to Erica Rodriguez-Anthony's discussion Help with chocolate setting (Bittersweet) (PICS)"Having your room temperature at 68 degrees F is the ideal. I would suggest trying again, let the chocolate set with the room at that temperature, and see if that takes care of the problem."

Mann Made Chocolate replied to Kathryn James's discussion Tracking/managing inventory in the group Startup Central"Hi Kathryn

Tracking/managing inventory
How do you track your available inventory? Right now I'm putting all my data into Excel spreadsheets, but they keep getting more and more complex, and I keep finding a need for more and more of them.
