if it was affordable and just a local woman i'd totaly be down for it. my boss does this all the time on the side. people eat at the restaurant and just ask for catered parties at their house. it's insane how much people pay. but it does also depend on what type of area you're going to be living if people have the disposable income to do it. and even though creating crazy interesting food ideas are good, sometimes people are just gonna want something really simple and boring, and that's a bummer.
It's good to know it's not crazy for people to do. Simple's not always bad - sometimes just one great ingredient makes chicken amazing. Like last night, I roasted asparagus with great olive oil, salt and pepper, and Donovan couldn't get enough of it! The olive oil was so good, it made the dish. But I'd hope no one would request sloppy joes or crap like that. And so many young couples we know always either go out to eat or order in, so I think I'd have a captive audience of couples. Why not have something specially prepared and delivered to yourself?
When offering services like such.. You should check out the affluence and future of certain neighborhoods.
A quick trip to the chamber of commerce or city hall and you should find what you're looking for.
Or...
Follow the Starbucks effect.
Starbucks spends most of its money on research and development. Researching what? The affluence and future growth of a community.
Thats why are so succesful. They make sure where they build , people can afford a 6 dollar coffee.
So start a business in a town that a Starbucks is opening up!!
Haha - I didn't think about the Starbucks connection, but that's interesting. I've been checking out the median incomes in different places to see which would be good. Thanks!
