My Thoughts on Food and the Business of Food.......

As the popular saying goes, "Food brings people together on many different levels”.

It's the nourishment of the soul and body." How well you contribute to the nourishment is the whole essence of it. How many stories have we often heard, be it a foodie developing a taste for food business and eventually evolving as a food entrepreneur or a techie throwing a surprise by quitting a lucrative job to opt for starting a food business? Some others have even been nurturing the idea of running a restaurant since young and work systematically towards making that a reality.

However, having an interesting idea on food requires building a robust business model around it with flawless execution. Foodies range from cookies and cakes bakers in their own kitchens to Talented Chefs to food professionals in the “corporate” Food Business.  

A Recipe for Success

There needs be clear business goals, and understanding how the business works….The food formula, recipes, product, pricing, profit margins and Delivery. Labor, resources, operations, regulatory and safety concerns have to be thought-out during the planning stage.

Passion 

A successful Food business can flourish when the entrepreneur or chef show passion in their work and creativity. Having an inspiring story to tell and an original take on food will appeal to most…. Today, consumers are willing to listen and patronize even a small food start-up., Passion, Consistency and Quality are a must., be it a healthy meal or gluten-free menu. 

………."There is no love sincerer than love of food."
