If preparing food is what one likes and is good
at then picking up a career in this field would be very
rewarding. One need not be a chef at a restaurant or hotel, but
something that can be done at home. With so many people
migrating across the city for work and being without their
families, there is a great demand for home cooked food and one
option for them is the homemade catering and tiffin customer
service. |
This is a very viable career option for housewives who
can earn their side income by cooking meals and offering this service.
Home tiffin service in India tie up with the typical dabbawalas (people
who deliver tiffins) to have them deliver meals at respective work
places. Most of the tiffin services set up a weekly or monthly menu
discussing it with the client and the food is then sent accordingly.
For setting up such a business, one does not need to
make any kind of additional investments. All one needs is a proper
functioning kitchen. One may need to put in some money for additional
kitchen equipments if necessary or buy tiffin boxes; but most home made
food services, ask their clients to invest in the tiffin boxes, as per
their preference.
However, one of the most important
things to keep in mind is the quality of food and its consistency. The
client must feel the tiffin service provider to be reliable and the
diners should feel that they are getting their money's worth. One should
also avoid experimenting with the tiffin. However, if you wish to try
out a new menu, mention in advance and probably provide the food
free-to-taste, so that you get a proper feedback and then one can take a
decision accordingly.
Another thing to keep in mind is that as more and more people are
getting health conscious, one should try and make food which is healthy
for the body. Too much of oily food is discouraged by most of the
people. With people who are ready to experiment with food, tiffin
service providers can in fact start a creative tiffin service where one
can send various new recipes and dishes which are healthy and good to
taste.
While being a tiffin service provider, try to know about the client’s
food habits and his/her likes and dislikes in food. This will make you
offer a much customized service to the diner and you will only be
appreciated for the same. For e.g. if a person is a south Indian, he
will sure love south Indian traditional food. Hence one should build
good relations with the client and also call them once or twice a month
to know what they feel about the tiffin and are they satisfied with the
same. Get a feed back from them. If they are not satisfied, ask them
what they do not like in the food, know about their food preferences and
make the desirable changes. It is very essential that one does not lose
a client. Goodwill, experience and word of mouth advertising sure works
as far as a tiffin service is concerned.
