Highly recommend Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain to anyone contemplating to open a F&B venture. You'll be able to build a checklist of things to keep in mind after reading that.

Program Manager

Location is very very important. You may try to save few bucks by opening your bakery front in a street 2/3 levels inside, but if people can't see it, no one will find it. 
 Also, pay food influencers initially to taste your products and post reviews online.

Test your product in the market, before going physical store, test you product via digital store. Start in a small area and scale digitally to multiple areas before opening physical stores.

Product Manager

High profit margins but low profitability...

Consultant

Quit your job first. It’s impossible to handle two things at the same time, and running a food outlet/brand can be exhausting.

@Founders, what all do i need to keep in mind if I want to start my Baking Cafe in Bangalore ?

@Founders, what all do i need to keep in mind if I want to start my Baking Cafe in Bangalore ?- Grapevine

I am planning to open a QSR restaurant/cafe in Bangalore. Need some insights on restaurant business in Bangalore -
1. How are the rents in areas like Koramangala/Indiranagar for a small QSR cafe?
2. How much does it cost to setup a fully operational QSR cafe like Rameshwaram?(approx in lakhs) 
3. What are the monthly operation costs? (Rents, salaries, stock)
4. Do we need a lot of local contacts to set up a restaurant?
4. Is it possible to operate a restaurant along with a full time software job? 
5. Is QSR cafe a better alternative to building a non profitable start-up?

I have thought of some good USPs for the QSR. But, I am really confused whether I should go ahead with it or not. Please give your inputs.

Any software engineers in Bangalore tried opening a restaurant/cafe?

In Feb, me and my partner along with another acquaintance(From 2 years) opened a cafe in Bangalore. Everything was going good except for hiccups in-between, the usual conflicts and misunderstanding. Me and my partner really worked hard for the cafe, put our heart and soul into it. The GST is in the name of third person since he is already running a business on it and told us we can use it. We started inviting people to the cafe for tasting sessions and feedback. We were about to official launch until one day.. 

Since customers were coming in, we started charging minimal amount. The third person's acquaintances came in and I asked if they had paid infront of his other friends who wouldn't even have heard what I asked. He in return asked if my friend had paid for the coffee, I said yes. I am not sure what triggered his so much or if it was all planned from starting, the very next day afternoon he brought around 10-15 localities who were drunk. We three girls were sitting in the cafe and my partner and other guy friends were not present at the moment. Once my partner came in, He took out a file and said I went to the lawyer, police and minister and this is my cafe here after. You guys can go out. The file consisted of rental agreement which is in all of our names, food license, gst and all other bills in his name. He hit both of us there itself and started shouting.

Then after a big scene happened, the police came but that guy took police to the side and spoke something, not sure what that was about. He gave two cheques to both of us on the day itself. He just bought time and cleared one cheque, the other cheque he himself told the bank to bounce it. Not sure what he is plotting.

I just wanted to leave everything whatever happened and continue with life. But the emotional turmoil, the hitting, the post incident scenes everything is in my eyes still. And above all, the amount of work and passion we put into our project, everything was chosen and done by both of us.

SENSITIVE : Long story.. short!

Would people actually want to try it? I will sell it out of my Swift's boot.

Thinking of starting a momo stall in Indiranagar.

I'm working as a software engineer in Bangalore. I want to start something apart from my work to create a new income stream.
Can anyone suggest few ideas or wanna join to think of something great.

Any startup or money making ideas in Bangalore?

Hi Bangalore folks,

I would be moving to Bangalore for the first time next month. I am a startup founder in early 20s and our current team strength is 4 founders (to go to 7-8 by end of year)

I was wondering what would be the best location in Banglore to set up a small office (within co-working spaces mostly) alongside getting a nearby 3BHK house for the 4 of us

* Flat would be for 4 of us, and tentative budget is 60K collectively
* We don't need to visit The Koramangala-indirangar area frequently but would like to stay close
* I don't know if possible but an area with greenery+ less traffic would be great (for ex- a gated society would work well)

Any suggestions on area we should look for?

Food recos in Bangalore - what I HAVE TO try while in town

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Comment down below your idea of starting a side hustle that’s running in your head currently! 

Lets brainstorm 👌

A side hustle you want to start?

I have a business idea, similar to takeaway food cafe stuff, planning to start from my own town (Tier2). Have done enough market research in the last few months and am sure enough to generate 1-2lakhs in profit with one store(will expand more to different cities asap).
But is it really worth it? I am a recent CSE graduate, and I fear that if I invest all my future time in this I might miss opportunities to start bigger scalable companies in the future as I would also miss the corporate ladder bus.

Should I start up?

Business tips

Hi

We are planning to open a roadside food stall in Bengaluru, it will be a makeshift roadside stall and will be operational for about 4-5 hrs per day.
Wanted to know what all licensing are required for such small stalls? Which offices do we need to take permission from, like Police, BBMP etc?
And, some people were saying that we would need to pay protection money to local mafia, is this true?
If anyone can point to me in the direction where I can get some information that would be really helpful.

Thanks
