In a time of everything instant, do people still have the time to sit down for a meal? Look around your office and count how many employees are taking their lunch in their desk while doing work. Did you just finish your sandwich quickly so that you can finish replying to emails before the real work begins?
The 9-to-6 work life may be working for you right now, but it could work even better if you’re earning from other people’s eating habits. Here’s how you can benefit.
Invest in a Fast Food Franchise
The quickest way to grab grub is by heading to the nearest fast food chain. You may be guilty of this yourself, but you don’t have to be just the consumer in this situation. What if, on top of your day job, you became a co-owner of a fast food franchise? This fast food business opportunity may just be the answer to your friends’ constant talks of investing together.
Food is easy to sell if everyone knows its branding already, which makes franchising a good idea. You may even discuss the arrangement with co-investors so you can keep your job while someone else who knows how to handle food manages the business on your behalf.
Start a Vegan Restaurant
There’s a good market for vegan restaurants right now. While the number of vegans didn’t exactly skyrocket, there’s an increase in the number of restaurants catering to those who want to be a casual vegan consumer. It used to be impossible to start a restaurant with a vegan menu because if the “meat” resembles real meat too well, true vegans might not want them.
Meanwhile, carnivores feel like they have to justify why they’re not vegan. However, things are changing now, with vegan food quickly becoming an option for people who want to eat healthier by consuming plant-based protein. This is the market you need to target, for your restaurant to succeed. Again, if you’re not knowledgeable in the food industry, you can leave the management to someone else who has experience.
Open a Meal Delivery Business
Remember that office scenario where everyone’s eating their lunch as quickly as they can because they have too much stuff to do? Offer relief in the form of a meal delivery business, which you can even run from home. You have two options: quit your job to focus on meal delivery, which will let you serve more customers, or continue working and get everyone’s orders the night before, so you can have them ready by the time you go to work.
You may also have someone doing the job at home while you focus on your own job. It’s a convenient business model for everyone. They won’t have to leave their job to get food, and you earn a little extra on the side. As long as you know how to manage your time, there shouldn’t be a problem.
You can squeeze a little extra income on top of your full-time job if you use your capital wisely. Whether you franchise or start from scratch, know your market to increase chances of success.
