Market demand for snacks continues to flow. Seeing snack lovers, not only children, but also teenagers, adults, to the elderly. So it is not surprising that the food business that is often served as a distraction while doing this activity is often flooded with customers.

The low production capacity that is owned makes this business less developed. Besides that the equipment used is also simple and is still traditional in nature, so it takes a long time and is very draining. For this reason, science and technology is needed that will make the production process easier and cheaper.

In connection with this, it is felt necessary to provide assistance and training to improve the capacity of community service partners. Besides improving the marketing strategy so that it has the ability to market the market snacks in production, so as to create and have a lot of marketing networks. Training is needed to enable entrepreneurs to calculate total sales revenue and total costs so that they are able to know how much profit is earned per unit of production.
