If you are one of those people who love to cook,

you might want to explore the possibilities of

selling meals to go in your community. A lot of

people are not really eating right these days. In

most cases, families thrive on processed and

instant foods because everyone is too busy to

prepare a healthy meal. By offering home cooked

meals to go, you will be able to help others eat

healthier foods and at the same time earn some

money to contribute to the family coffers. If your

neighbors and friends love your cooking, you will

most likely have a lot of people knocking on your

door and asking for a decent meal.

Getting organized

If you happen to live in an apartment building

where everyone leaves the place in a hurry

everyday, you might want to offer some breakfast,

lunch or dinner to go. However, before you do so,

you better check with the building administrator if

these things are allowed or else you will get into

trouble. There are many apartment buildings that

do not really allow these things because this could

be a source of fire hazards. On the other hand, if

you have your own house, offering meals to go will

not be much of a problem. In most cases, after

complying with government regulations, you can

start your home business immediately.

Organizing things for your food to go business is

not really that difficult especially if you have a

computer with internet connection in your home. You

can start by asking the people in the building for

their email or instant messaging address. You can

send your menu for the day to these addresses and

ask them to send you a message as to what they will

have for breakfast, lunch or dinner. For your

neighbors who do not have internet connection, you

can just put a cork board outside your door where

you can post your menu for the day. You may also

provide for some paper and a box where your clients

can write their order and then drop them in the

box. Furthermore, having a business phone is a

must. Some of your clients may want to call you to

place or cancel their orders. Never rely on your

home phone for this purpose. Always bear in mind

that the home phone should only be used for

personal transactions and the business phone should

be dedicated solely for entertaining clients.

Set a specific time and place where your clients

can pick up their food. Make sure that you are all

ready and waiting a few minutes before your clients

start arriving so that you will not have

difficulties getting things in order.
