You cook or bake at home and sell through a WhatsApp Business catalogue, WhatsApp status and social media. Customers order and pay by a cut-off, and you cook only what was paid for.
What sells
- Weekly frozen or fresh meals for busy families and workers.
- Lunch for an office or a nearby business.
- Weekend specials: curries, bunny chows, braai sides, koeksisters, rusks.
- How you earn
a fixed weekly menu, a cut-off day, and a delivery or collection day.
- The rule that matters
under the R638 regulations, food may only be handled for sale on premises with a valid Certificate of Acceptability from your municipality.
A good sign: your first pre-order day sells out to people you know.
