Seems to me, you're in the ideal spot to offer a lunch service to the offices, police and fire brigade.
It may not be what you're looking to do, but i'd be contacting all department heads with a view to supplying a small delivery menu. Hopefully they will allow you to leave your details in all the departments. Orders are then emailed to you by 9.30 am and delivered at lunchtime.The woman i know that does this in Aberdeen uses paypal too so all orders are payed for up front.
Alternatively. The fire brigade and police here are always having small functions during the day. This puts a great strain on in house caterers. I know, cos i worked in a couple during my agency days.
Anyway, they may be interested in giving you the business
Best of luck with your new venture |
Thanks,bughut. Good ideas! We're still so new on the block, that I am hesitant about deliveries. There's a hospital nearby and someone from the ER there has asked about it. Seems they can't leave during their shift. I'd consider delivering if it could be accomplished BEFORE our lunch rush- that way, I don't have to have on another person just now.
What do you know about paypal? I should check into that especially if the cost is less than my credit card fees.
What does everyone do for advertising? Newspapers?
