In this video, I’ll show you how to start an online food business quickly. Let’s go!
We’re going through really tough times these days.
Unemployment is on the rise, shops remain closed, uncertainty on when things will get back to normal… things have changed drastically the last few years.
But instead of waiting for things to get back to normal again, perhaps it’s a better idea to make use of the situation and start something new from the new opportunities.
That’s what the wise would do, right?
Online food business is one business category that has taken off really well recently.
People have gotten used to the idea of ordering food online, more frequently. More and more hotels are offering their menu and services online.
So, if you’re been thinking about starting an online food business, this is the right time.
Let me tell you how.
0:57 #1 - Find your niche
Chinese, Indian, Fast food, Tacos, Cakes… whatever your calling is, find that specific food category that you are interested in.
Don’t go for what is popular but find what unique food you can offer.
So that when you launch in the market, people find your food new and interesting.
Research well and find out what are the food types that are in demand in your area.
Which are the hotels that are doing well, which are the ones that aren’t doing well.
So you can learn from their mistakes. Maybe the specialty food you are planning to make is already there.
1:30 #2 - Find your target audience
Who are you trying to sell to? This is very important to find out. Many people think that they can sell to anyone.
Well, you can - just that you don’t have clarity on who is your ideal audience.
If you have clarity on who your ideal target audience is, all your efforts can be focused on them.
This is the major difference between selling offline and online.
When you’re starting an online food business, you need to know who you’re selling to so that you can just focus on them.
Let’s say for example, office goers who want their lunch delivered at the office.
If you have such clarity, all your marketing efforts can be optimized to them and this will give you a lot of advantage over your competitors - who might be targeting everybody.
In today’s market, having this kind of clarity is super important.
2:21 #3 - Getting your food license.
Depending on which state you’re in, you’d need different kinds of licenses to operate your online food business.
In India, the FSSAI licence, Food trade license and GST registration is a must. And it’s easy to get them as well. We have written an in depth article on how to get your food licenses on our blog. I’ve shared the link in the description, please check it out.
2:45 #4 - Logistics
Where is your servicing area, and how can you deliver food once orders are taken online.
There are different solutions to this.
One if you can handle the deliveries yourself, if you have the right staff.
Another is you can use third party services like Dunzo or Shiprocket for local deliveries. Dukaan has these apps integrated with the app already so it’s easy to do it.
You could also try local delivery services.
Whichever is your best option, choose it and stick to it.
3:15 #5 - Getting your own online website/app.
If I was doing this video in 2015 I would have said go for traditional eCommerce platforms or build yourself a website.
Today, you don’t need it.
Apps like Dukaan will let you create your own store/website for your online food business.
All you have to do is list the food items on your menu with their pictures and price.
Then add your bank details so that you can accept payments easily from anyone through debit cards, credit cards, or cash on delivery.
Promote your store on social media and start accepting orders online.
