To-do list before you start

Decide your forte - generic, multi-cuisine or offer personalised experiences? Is it kitty parties, corporate lunch, gourmet meals or special diets?

It is important to have your Food Safety Standards Authority of India - FSSAI License, GST registration and other requisite documents in place.

Make the right contacts. Register yourself with local networking groups, delivery services like Zomato and Swiggy.

Craft a menu of food and services. Consolidate your price by taking into account your preparation time, expenses and your time including the high cost of certain ingredients.

Get in touch with vendors to procure provisions at wholesale rates.

Make an arrangement to collect and revert to reviews and referrals.

Offer incentives to referrals like a discount voucher.
