Business Idea - Pizza by the Slice

Portion cheesy pizzas for individuals and watch them line up for more

Business Overview

There are a lot of advantages and benefits to opening a small pizza by the slice takeout restaurant, as opposed to a full-service, sit-down pizza restaurant that provides customers with a varied menu and delivery options. These benefits include a smaller initial investment, lower monthly operating overheads and shorter operating hours. Ideal locations for opening a pizza by the slice takeout restaurant include food courts in malls, storefronts in office districts and kiosks in large family entertainment centers. Supplying the pizza slices on a wholesale basis to factory and school cafeterias, as well as providing a free lunchtime delivery service of pizza slices in office districts can also be used as a method for boosting sales.

Business Idea - Chocolate Making

If your chocolate expertise can offer something the grocery store candy aisle can't, you could be in business.

Business Overview

Starting a business that creates chocolate candies and treats is a great new enterprise to initiate, and the business can easily be formed as a joint venture with an established catering service or restaurant. The purpose of forming the joint venture with an established business is to greatly reduce the amount of startup capital required to get the business rolling. A joint venture can enable you to use the partner’s commercial kitchen, and in some cases the existing employees and customer base. The chocolate candies and treats can be sold to specialty retailers on a wholesale basis, or directly to chocolate loving consumers via a sales kiosk, factory direct outlet or website. Additionally, be sure to investigate the potential for forming alliances with charity groups, schools and organizations, as students, volunteers, or members can be enlisted to sell packaged chocolate candies with partial proceeds going back to support community charities and programs.
