....so here's free idea for you.

Ready?

"Pudding take-away!"

Pros.

1. Everyone likes puddings
2. Not everyone has puddings in
3. No business premises needed
4. Cheap stock, can be frozen
5. Puddings are now taboo, so people would purchase in a treat

Cons.

1. Need a scooter for deliveries
2. TV programmes with people on them saying we shouldn't eat puddings anymore
3. Erm....

What are your thoughts PH?

You're a bit of a pudding biggrin

It'll be worth looking to see how much people would be willing to pay, because unlike a pizza, where you can charge x amount and includse delivery for £2 or something within that price, no one will pay £3 for a pudding plus £2 delivery unless desperate.

As we speak, I'd happily pay £5.00 for some treacle sponge and custard to arrive at my front door.

Is that where the Idea came from?

It'll be worth seeing who else would pay as much, as it is an original idea. I don't know if it's UK wide, but in a few places there are companies that deliver alcohol and cigarettes and they're doing extremely well.

Who's going to be your supplier?

Will you have the facilities to make these puddings or store them?


What about dead stock?

Will you have a shop?

What will be your delivery radius?

What will the minimum order be?

Etc etc
