Blessed day all,
Thought to share some of views, considering the restaurant business experience in UAE π¦πͺ and how new norms are reshaping the world π we live in.
Idea I had behind this business πΊ:
a) Community Building
b) Serving humanity through quality food π½π₯’, and share meal π₯
c) How socials/ technology can connect? π£
1) Community: π¨βπ©βπ§βπ§
My views while seeking direction, business is to solve the problems we have around, more lives we touch, and the value we add to others will define where are we heading in life?!
Years ago, I have been curious to co-create community, especially to unite Pakistanis π΅π° in UAE π¦πͺ, a platform to share better ideas, create opportunities for people who left their homes, loved ones and homeland π΅π° for better earning and decent livings.
Little bit I had clues 8-10 years ago in Ras Al Khaimah if any community for all π΅π° than provincial/ regional representation but found less answers.
Fast forward, year 2020, we have many kind souls in field, active Facebook/ socials groups, passionate to serve Pakistanis and Humanity. There is still huge opportunity to build even more when 1.5million plus Pakistanis are in UAE π¦πͺ and yet to be connected.
2) Serving food π₯ sharing meal:
Challenges have been all around, quality food, less at price, making it easily affordable across community while majority are blue collar. By 2020 it makes more sense to align with Global Goals 2030, zero hunger, so no one goes to bed with empty stomach. Thatβs what serving the humanity and purposeful living.
3) Technology in food:
Strange fact- In developing countries ~45% food is wasted due to inappropriate storage and handling. Imagine if we can reduce food π₯ and ππππππ ππ ππ₯₯π₯ fruits waste through better storage. For restaurant business, diversify it, introduce packed cooked foods ππ₯«π₯, that could last months -> years and make it available at online platforms like noon in π¦πͺ, delivery π through collaboration with existing resources, to reduce the delivery costs.
Local delivery, can be scaled up afterwards.
