After my tea stall taught me the basics of food business, I started a home-based tiffin service to reach working professionals who wanted home-style food. It ran from my own kitchen, so the fixed costs were almost nothing.
ā¹
Startup Cost
ā¹15,000 total ā ā¹6,000 for containers and packaging, ā¹5,000 initial groceries, ā¹4,000 for a delivery cycle and fuel. No rent, no staff.
š
Timeline
Month 1: 10 daily orders from neighbours and one office. Month 2ā3: word of mouth doubled orders. Month 4: added a weekly menu and advance subscriptions. Month 6: waiting list of regulars.
š
Monthly Income
ā¹25,000āā¹40,000 per month after food costs, with 60ā70% of orders on weekly subscriptions. The margin is small per plate, but repeat orders make it predictable.

What I'll Teach
How to price a daily menu, keep food costs under 40%, manage subscriptions for predictable income, and get your first 20 customers without paid ads.
