I’m always fascinated by small eateries run by women, families. They have a unique charm – the ambiance, location, taste, or the personal connection.
Now, a question to you!
- Do you have passion for cooking?
- Are you a good cook or people appreciate your cooking skills?
- You have a garage or you can hire a small road access space?
Food business is an ever growing, booming, and rewarding business in Kerala. But, most people abort such ideas for want of funds or facility. If you’re one of them, then here’s a suggestion. Start an evening take-away joint from your house or any good location.
I’ve seen few homemakers running take away counter in Trivandrum. There is one lady staying close to Air Force base, Akukam, and who runs an evening food counter from her garage. Also one big take away counter opposite to KSEB office Pattom.
Before you start, I suggest you to:
- Perfect your recipe ( whether it is Beek, pork, fish, mutton or Veg)
- Specialize in one unique dish ( your differentiation – people know you for it)
- Introduce a unique dish & a special dish
- Don’t depend on others to cook. Do it all yourself. Hire only only assistants
- Smile at your customers and interact with them ( Build Personal connection)
- Provide 10 min home delivery ( Service around your neighborhood)
And most importantly, get the approval from Govt agencies. Also keep the surroundings clean and let your customers know you for cleanliness.
To Love With Food,
Charles
