Hi All,
After serving few local bakers in executing home deliveries of cakes and food, we felt that there is need of an online bakery shop which sell cakes and chocolates. This site will host good and best bakers of a particular location. It will also sell Gifts and Bouquets. Why it is required, when there are already many stores online ?
On supply side
- Very few bakers are online. To mention Monginis and Bakers Den in Ahmedabad
- There is logistic problem at bakeries (related to home deliveries). We are serving as home delivery partner for Monginis for their online bookings.
- Maintenance of site (backend) is again issue with the bakers. So they are happy with the offline or walk in business.
On Demand Side,
- Price of cakes. (In some cases it is more than double. A cake of Rs 225/- for 500 gm is sold at Rs 600/- for the same weight.
- A bouquet of 12 roses costing 180/- to 200/- is sold at Rs 400/- and more.
- Quality of cakes. It is not that the existing online stores are selling bad products. However the source of products is not clear. In many cases they procure the products from standard bakeries and change the packing.
- Delivery issues. ( not in all, however it is the problem)
We are best in service. So chose to build a platform where cakes and chocolates from standard bakers can be sold. Our website www.cakehunt.com will be live by this month end. Cakehunt.com will
- Sell Cakes at the price of the store only. Which will save at least 25% of consumers.
- Execute home deliveries of products sold online/offline by us.
- Also help bakers to execute home deliveries of inhouse sell.
- Help consumers in pickup and delivery, if anything is purchased / booked by them directly at any bakery.
Above mentioned reasons and our interest in services tempted us to do so.
I request your feedback and suggestions related to this. If you have any good or bad experience with sites in same business then kindly share.. Your few minutes will really help us to better our services.
