    Plan B idea

    Graze boxes for IT contractors, so essentially "cake by post".

    Where do I apply for Dragon's Den?
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

    Actually, if you could deliver hot food like that to people desks (think tiffin trade in India) you WILL be a millionaire.

    Sort of meals on wheels for busy workers who are fed up with sandwiches.

      I once looked into setting up a business that delivered "home cooked meals" for people that were fed up with the normal pizza / chineese / indian.

      Business link said it was a stupid idea. And also there were a couple of blokes that were on dragons den last series with that idea. They got laughed off.

        I'm sure I remember a product like this that used to be on sale at tube stations, instead though it was a package of fresh ingredients that you picked up on the way home from work and dumped into a wok or similar for a couple of minutes when you got there.

        Can't remember the business being around for long though.
        Sval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.

        Nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational signature about being a winner.

            Did you mean this one here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dabbawala ?

            1 error in 6 million deliveries seems impressive!

              I was in Delhi recently and same concept.

              Even McD deliver to home or business with minimum order I think 300 Rupees. [£4 odd]

              All the business make a killing in the western business areas.
