Who Am I?:
I am Adi. I am a young man. I am an American with Indian heritage. I have a few months of commercial kitchen experience, and a few years of private culinary studies under my belt.
What Am I Offering?:
I am offering to cook for customers in their kitchen using ingredients and tools I have bought; cook either to a set menu or customized one. I would also provide meal prep for multiple days.
Who Am I Offering It To?:
I am offering this service to middle-class to upper-class residents of Gainesville, specifically people who are either busier, richer, or more restricted in diet than average.
Why Do They Care?:
The majority of people are willing to pay for food that increases their quality of life, and people will pay to ensure they get that food, so long as they are able to trade-off money for time and life improvement.
What Are My Core Competencies?:
I can do a little bit of baking, American cuisine, North Indian cuisine, budgeting, and communication. I am creative and willing to try new things.
Now, in my estimation, the elements for on this 'bar napkin' are coming together. They can't help but come together because the business is me! I AM the service provider.
To be fair, none of this is particularly revolutionary. What will really determine my success is my ability to connect and regionalize to Gainesville and make sure I can deliver on my promises.

Aditya,
ReplyDeleteI thought you Idea Napkin was very brief, and probably could've used some more elaboration, but overall it was to the point and clear. Dr. Pyror talked about making sure that all of the components of your idea napkin "match" and it seems that yours do. My concern is how will you be able to market to all of those audiences while still remaining profitable?
Hi Adi,
ReplyDeleteI liked your idea napkin however I think your service might be difficult to succeed at the market for cooks can be very saturated. From what I understood you are basically offering your services as a private chef and this is a market that can be extremely competitive. I think if you market yourself properly it could be successful as long as you put in the work.
