  • I think we need more input, the answer was great but a little to brief.

    We just need more information.


  • That sounds like a good idea.
    You should find out what controls may exist on preparing and packaging food for sale: maybe local health dept. inspection of facilities; possible requirement for sealed wrapping (there are simple heat-sealing methods). Not all firms will let someone enter their premises, nor management of office complexes. I would look for areas with small industry that have no fast food nearby. Good luck

    I don't know if you have this sort of thing in Canada, but in
    many cities of the U.S., there are vendors who hire individuals
    to carry fairly large decorative straw baskets full of sandwiches,
    from a cooler in their car, into large office complexes.

    If the sandwiches look appealing, it takes very little time for
    each hireling to develop a regular following on a regular route.

    The hireling is typically part-time (2 hours each side of lunch
    hour) at an hourly wage. You could add a commission if you like,
    and, these days, you may want to add a mileage reimbursement for
    the cost of gas. However, if the hourly wage is adequate, this
    might not be necessary or advisable, for simplicity's sake.

    The sandwiches can be as expensive as their quality demands, and
    as the income of the offices visited allows. Business cards can
    be carried by the hirelings and left at front desks or passed out
    upon inquiry, which mention catering.

    This scenario has the advantage of being very easy to start from
    home. From there it can easily be expanded into a sandwich shop
    with a location of its own, with catering along the way, first
    from home, and then from the shop.

    Have you considered such a prospect? Let me know what you think.

  • Your ideas are very good and sound very professional.

    Yes, I realize my post was somewhat brief, which is why I
    didn't immediately post it as an official answer. The thing
    is, I'm citing this information from memory based on a brief
    personal involvement with such a business operation, many
    years ago.

    Searches for sites or articles on the internet which might
    lend substance to this business model were fruitless.

    About all I can think to add is that, if Toronto is like a
    U.S. city, you would need to have a city vending license to
    cover the activity of the hirelings in the field.

    If you can be more specific about the information you are
    lacking to constitute a complete answer, I can do my best
    to address it. What questions do you have with regard to
    the ideas I've presented?

    You also have the option of changing the question price to
    match what you believe is the appropriate value of what
    I've been able to provide. A user's guide to assist you in
    doing this has been created by the researcher skermit-ga:
