Catering Startup

Hello Rodinhoods,

I am an engineer by profession and have no clue about the food industry as such. I am looking to start this venture in Kolkata. Idea is based on delivering highly nutritional food to schoolchildren.I would like to address following questions:

  1. How do I get people to believe in my product when all I intend to do is source materials from the local market?
  2. How does not having my own kitchen to prepare the food set me back? Also having no experience in catering (though am a food buff) , should I go ahead with having one of my own?(Referred this article https://www.therodinhoods.com/forum/topics/how-i-doomed-my-1st-venture?commentId=6328457%3AComment%3A143602)
  3. I see a huge market potential for the product and would like to have a team. Whom do I appraoch considering the importance of a team and that with people having different skillsets?

P.S. Open invitation to interested rodinhooders preferably in the eastern part of India . I have a short survey that I would like to get filled .It would take just a few minutes of your valuable time.Your responses will be highly solicited. I would follow up the survey results with a discussion about it in the forum once I receive sizeable  response. Anyone can fill the survey but parents with school going children would be preferred :). Click below
