Hi there i am planning to start small business of food delivery, can any one help me in guiding doos & donts. Also how should i set up an agreement with these restaurants & what margin of GP you would look at these kind of business. I have few contacts already,,, should i also need to make my web site just for marketing pourpose. If anyone has details please email them to me at shailesh.1976@gmail.com.
Thank you
I don’t know if this is that great of an idea. It sounds good but if you are delivering from multiple places to multiple residences the time expectation is going to be high. This will compromise the quality of the food. Lots of things aren’t delivered because they won’t taste right after being transported. Pizzas work well because they need to rest after being cooked. Anything fried won’t be good after about 10 minutes. Salads that would normally be served on a chilled plate will get soggy and warm during a car ride if they are packaged with hot food.
How are you going to deal with complaints and replacements? People that order from you are most likely going to call the restaurant to complain. If you are making a delivery from somewhere else how are you going to find time to correct these problems.
Most fine dining managers with some sense aren’t going to want anything to do with you. If you are delivering their food they need to have extra liability insurance to cover you if you get in an accident. Also, if someone gets food poisoning from something you deliver who would take responsiblity for that. Anywhere that caters has to have their food transport vehicles and equipment inspected by the health department. Plus if the place already caters they probably don’t need to outsource the shipment of their food. If you plan on delivering on a smaller scale like a few dinners to a family how much are you going to tack on as a delivery charge? If its more than $5.00 no one is going to be willing to pay that and tip too. If you only get a few orders a week its not going to be worth it. Since you are your own company you wouldn’t get paid by the hour. If you are delivering for multiple restaurants no one wants to support their competition.
Would people call you to place orders or the restaurant? How would you deal with several people ordering from different restaurants?
Your best bet is to just get a job as a delivery driver for a place that already does deliveries. Part of the appeal of fine dining is the atmosphere and service, neither of these things could be included with home delivery.
If you do plan on pursuing this you really want to contact your insurance agent and the local health department.
I have quite a few! Trouble is where to start!
Mushroom Soup.
Plenty of mushroom – the more varieties the better
Handful of dried mushrooms soaked for a while and strained, but reserve the liquid. It can go in as well.
Onion finely diced
Garlic – per taste and finely chopped
Beef, chicken or vegetable stock – I like beef best for mushrooms.
Mushroom ketchup, plenty of pepper and no salt – until the end and then it can be added to taste.
Mixed herbs – dried or fresh if available.
Grating of nutmeg
If you can get hold of some kind of smoke flavour that would be all the better.
Gently sautee the onions for a few minutes until soft, but not browned. Add mushrooms and garlic and sautee for a while until soft. Add stock and herbs and pepper and allow to boil for about 20 mins to 1/2 hour. Then simmer for as long as you want to develop flavours. Add mushroom ketchup to taste.
Depending on how you want to serve it – as a solid soup or liquidised, do not liquidise it or do so. Return to pot and add some creme fraiche just before serving and adjust seasoning if necessary., you would add a swirl of single cream or creme fraiche and maybe sprinkle with garlic croutons.
Carrot and Orange soup.
Carrots coursely grated
Onion
Garlic
Veg or chicken stock – depending on whether you want vegetarian or not.
Orange zest finely slivered and juice of oranges (mind the pips)
Orange juice – from carton is fine
Mixed herbs
Method as above.
I am getting tired now, but I have very many soup recipes up my sleeve that I would love to see on restaurant menus in England.
I wish I could come to your restaurant. I can only ask you to post this question again a little later when I will be able to add to this answer.
At present all I can say is good luck with the restaurant and may I take this opportunity to wish you a happy and successful 2007!

Do they sell like chair extenders anywhere? We just bought a dining room set that has 8 chairs, but only have it set up for 6 right now. I’d like to be able to use the two extra chairs for our bar, but they are currently too short. Right now they are counter height, but I’d like to make them bar height. Any ideas that won’t look too tacky? I know they sell extenders to raise your bed height, so I was curious if they had something like that for chairs… Thanks!
I don;t know where you can buy one but I found this

I am doing research to find out if guests in a restaurant perfer to pay at the table or to get up and pay a cashier? Please give a detailed reason why you support one over the other.
if we pay at the table it’s generally cash because I don’t like letting our cards out of site with the current problems of waitstaff stealing card numbers with little swiper gadgets.
If we need to use a card to pay, one of us will go to the cashier and the other will leave a cash tip. If you use a card and a tip on the card, it gets entered in later and there is more chance to get ripped off. Take no chances.
