Even before cities were ordered to lockdown, few restaurants had a game plan in place. Some of them foresaw what was ahead and quickly changed according to what the situation demanded.
Yes, your footfalls have gone down and you are being forced to close until the foreseeable future. As a result, you are finding it difficult to pay your employees. Many of them are mulling pay cuts and are you sure about that? There are some who have found a way around it.
Innovation is the mother of all inventions, they said, and that is exactly what you have to do. Blue Apron stock rose by almost 600% and do you know why? Yes, people are ordering Meal Kits left right and centre. The reasons are quite obvious actually, if you think about it.
- The situation in which the country is in, quite obviously demands it as a lot of groceries are shut and,
- Even if groceries are open, people are being asked to stay at home because of community spread of the pandemic and,
- People who stay at home are encouraged by the Health Officials to cook as it appears to be the safest way to combat the virus.
The list goes on and on but above are some of the more obvious reasons.
We have been preaching Restaurants to start packing Meal Kits from Day 1 and a lot of you heard us loud and clear. Now the time has come for you to be a part of something much greater. Restaurants doing Meal Kits will not only contribute to your revenue but help you cover the losses that you are in by a comfortable margin. Meal Kits by restaurants can be easily accomplished by minimum staff and maximum productivity. With the demand for Meal Kit being this high, you can be looking at stable revenue source
Restaurants who innovate have always been ahead of the curve. For Example, restaurants in New York like Bessou, a Japanese Restaurants are doing DIY Meal Kits for its consumers, The Mala Project is doing Meal Kits of 5 servings which includes varieties of food items like Spicy Beef Sauce, Spicy Mushroom and more. LA Based Chefs are experimenting with Taco Survival Meal Kits with both PickUp and Delivery Options.
Restaurants around the US and the world are adjusting menus, adding quarantine Meal Kits and what not. In other words simply, the Restaurants have started to innovate. Meal Kits have always been there and Restaurants have always had the best chance to start a Meal Kit service. There has never been a better time to start one. Restaurants will now become an integral part of the community by packing Meal Kits and keeping their communities afloat.
There’s a strict mandate to close bars and restaurants (excluding takeout and delivery) for the near future.Those who are able to pivot quickly and creatively will have the best chance of survival.
DailyKIT has started a subscription service platform which will not only help Restaurants get their Meal Kit Orders exclusively but also connect customers who are looking to buy Meal Kits for their families with these Restaurants. We have partnered with ‘AxelHire’ who is ready to deliver your Meal Kits to any customer within 10-15 Mile Radius (and upto 30 Miles if the situation demands it) from your Restaurant. Our Delivery Partner is licensed to deliver meal kits during curfews and to special zones.
These Meal Kits will be sold as Lunch & Dinner Kits at $60 for 4 Servings Each (i.e. 8 servings overall). This price will be inclusive of delivery where the delivery cost will be between $11-14 depending on the distance.
Since this is a special measure that we are taking voluntarily, we will not be charging the restaurants any commissions for the orders we generate for these restaurants.
Not only that, we will also be your temporary packaging partner in this endeavour and will supply you with Inner and Outer Packaging supplies that you will need to pack these Meal Kits.
What we ask of the Restaurants is to provide us with 2 of your best recipes for Lunch and Dinner and be ready for upto 20 Meal Kit Orders Per Day. It's time to innovate and not overthink this.
