CIA student Kyle Wagner, a Food Business Management major, shares his amazing journey through the Intrapreneurship concentration, from concept and pitch to opening and operation. The class was asked to:

  • Split into smaller teams, each developing its own concept to pitch.
  • Pitch the concepts to CIA faculty and visiting food professionals, with students, faculty, and staff in the audience.
  • Move forward as one, merging ideas and skills to begin developing the concept chosen by the panel.
  • Manage the many details that go into bringing a brand-new restaurant concept to life.
  • Launch and run the restaurant on campus for a semester, presenting their foodservice concept to the entire CIA community.
