Need of the day – Snack Centres

With today’s busy work schedules, people no longer have the time to make snacks at home. This has led to an ever-growing demand for snack centres. Street food is becoming increasingly popular. Groups of smart, young office-goers can be seen thronging Pune’s streetside stalls every evening. In fact, when one sees the number of people eating on busy streets like JM Road and FC Road in the evenings, one wonders if people actually cook food at home any more!

Nowadays, starting a food business can be a very lucrative business. It is important to have all the information you need to start a centre, including the health habits and current lifestyles of the people you intend to cater to. Setting up a Snack Centre doesn’t require large machinery or equipment. All you will need are a gas, mixer, cutter, food processor, microwave, cooker, grill, an espresso machine, water filter, refrigerator, regular kitchen utensils, trays and cutlery. Setting up this business requires a start-up capital of Rs. 1 to 1.5 lakhs and involves a daily expense of Rs. 50,000/-. As the business grows, it may require an increase in capital. Sourcing all the raw material from wholesalers and hiring help on a daily basis will ensure that you keep costs to a minimum.
