It is important to be knowledgeable regarding Hotel and Restaurant Management, even if the business you will be starting is a delivery one. From thence you can decide on staffing your business. Also take into regard the location, where you plan on preparing and cooking your meals. Make partnerships with neighboring farms and restaurants to help you out with your culinary needs and ingredients as you start your business.

Draft down the demographics and locale of your delivery business in order to measure the scope of your delivery, and note down also your charge if the delivery is outside your coverage area. This will also help you decide what type of transport you will require getting your food to the people you cater to.

Gourmet meals are chef prepared meals so it is important to have a chef on the staff. Other less experienced employees may be able to help the chef with food preparation and packaging. Packaging is very important in this case since the food will be delivered, it needs special care in order to keep all the ingredients in tact.

The more ways the customer finds it convenient to order, the more he is willing to order and return again.

Once you have set up your area, your staff and your needs it is not time to set the word out and advertize your new business. You can start by providing a list of affordable meals and even some promos and deals with regards to their dishes. An advertising campaign is also a good idea to get a crowd rushing to make orders.
