MenuHow could I establish a collaborative model for transporting foods that require refrigeration?
I’m wondering if there is a business model, including refrigerated truck owners, in which the cargo owners (In this case food requiring refrigerated transport) ask for transport defining the weight to be transported, origin and destination.
This is because trucks travel one way with cargo, but don't necessarily return to origin full of cargo or even half loaded.
Answers
1-Because transportation of perishable products are very specific you need to ensure there will be refrigerated facilities available at the destination which you can rent it for a short period of time. Truck company (if they have office at destination) can help out with this or find similar companies
2-Group orders with "consume by date" and delivery as a big order
3- Look for cheaper options. I mean NY sushi restaurants import fresh fish from Japan on a weekly basis, I dont think any truck company/person will care for collaboration
4- Call various shipment companies and cut a deal,
I hope i get this right but what are you shipping in low quantity and costing you much money? Must look for different options or clients closer within your range
Dear Concerned person,
I would like to introduce myself as a Food and Beverage consultant. I have got more than 8 years of professional experience in food and beverage project planning and execution, and then running it into a profitable venture.
Transportation of food is always done in a controlled environment, that is either refrigerated or frozen to actually protect food from bacteria and give it a longer shelf life. For example a lot of food material, in raw form, semi processed form or even finished form is exported from India to various foreign countries and vice-versa. In order to fight food wastage, a lot of refrigerated and deep freezed trucks and cargos are there in the market and demand for these types of trucks is increasing day by day.
For further discussions on this, I would request you to come on call so that we can have a detailed discussions on this and so that I am able to help you in the right way.
Looking forward to help you better.
Culinary regards,
Devashish Jindal

How should I begin research for opening a cafe in an industrial area? I have the land, but I'm not sure where to begin with cost analysis, etc.
You already have part of your answer. You know what types of foods the local workers are eating based on the food trucks. What you need to consider is how much of that type of food can you sell and at what cost in order to recoup your costs to develop the land. This is assuming that there are currently no buildings on the land that can be converted into a restaurant. Keep in mind that you are in an industrial area, how many shifts are there, how many workers buy their meals, and not bring them from home. The first step I is to find out the cost of development, while doing that make a survey and go down by those food trucks (if you can afford it hire some young people to do that for you) Count the number of customers that eat there and ask the people that buy food there if they would come to a restaurant if it was built? What kinds of food they would be looking for? How much of a break do they get for meals? Things of that nature. You may find it better to develop the land in an industrial way rather than a restaurant. The surveys will reveal the possible amount of customers you potentially have, and can give you a price point on how much they are willing to pay, and even do they have the time to come to a restaurant to eat.CA

Want to start my business in the food delivery industry!
The online food delivery industry is at its growth stage, especially after lockdown. There is a surge in demand due to the COVID-19 outbreak as the customers were unable to visit their favorite restaurants and opted for ordering food online. As a precaution, even the restaurants have reduced the sitting capacity in the restaurants, which is one big reason for the increase in online orders. Apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub, Deliveroo are high in demand with an increasing number of downloads each day. This is because consumer behavior has changed, people now feel it safe and more convenient to order food online during the pandemic to avoid crowded places. Even the restaurants that earlier did not have the online services available have started investing to digitize their food ordering and delivery system.
