When organizing a food delivery service, it is necessary to fulfill two key conditions at the proper level: to work out the cooking technology and find customers. In this case, it doesn't really matter where the external production will be located - there would be good access roads nearby.
It is necessary
- - business plan;
- - external production;
- - menu;
- - products;
- - staff;
- - transport.
Instructions
Step 1
Write a business plan. Some entrepreneurs ignore this step, relying on "maybe", it is not recommended to do this. An attempt to launch a project of the level "as it goes" is doomed to wasted investments. Firstly, a business plan helps to answer questions that will subsequently greatly help in promoting and finding customers. Secondly, it forces you to reconsider the financial model if it turns out that your costs are too high and the project in this form is unprofitable. Thirdly, the business plan for the first time replaces the enterprise budget.
Step 2
Rent a room. It is better if it is not a cafe or restaurant, which, as a rule, have a rather high cost per square meter, but, for example, a canteen at some enterprise. Also, do not rent premises that were not previously associated with food production. The reason is a serious investment in its re-equipment. As for the required area, it depends on what you are going to offer. For a full-cycle production with a kitchen (making dishes from raw products), you need about 50-70 sq.m. If your business specializes in preparing meals from semi-finished products of a high degree of readiness, the area can be halved. Do not forget to place all the required number of sinks, etc.
Step 3
Obtain regulatory approvals. Look for staff in parallel. Start with a technologist who, in your case, will replace the chef. Remember that food delivered to your home or office must be suitable for this. Accordingly, listen to a specialist. If, for example, you want to enter some dish into the menu, and the technologist says that it is not intended for delivery, do not be zealous, you will agree. The menu shouldn't be big, but it should have specialties. They mean positions that are branded for you. Say, offer pizza and 10-15 dishes of Italian cuisine or sushi, rolls and vegetable salads, which are appropriate to eat with chopsticks, etc.
Step 4
Work out the technology, draw up technical and technological maps. If you follow the letter of the law, you are obliged to register them, because the activities you carry out do not fall under the sale of dishes at the place of production. Reality leaves its marks: half of the food delivery companies, at their own peril and risk, omit the clause on the need to register the TTK.
