Everything that bears fruit requires effort. However, hard work doesn’t always pay off. It’s better to work smart and put in a fair amount of work to receive more significant returns. Here are some fun and comparatively easy ways to make money within the food industry.
Sommelier
How great is it that there’s a job where all you need to do is recommend wines?
Wine is a complex area of life. The differences in taste between the different wines are subtle and hard to catch. Yet, those differences still make or break the experience after an expensive dinner with fancy cuisine.
Restaurants hire sommeliers to help diners know the differences between the wines and find out which one will go best with their dishes. Sommeliers must have extensive knowledge about different wines, their origins, taste, and palates they complement.
This job is a dream job for anyone who likes to drink wine daily and is willing to put in the effort to learn a bit about it.
Vending machines
Try owning a chain of vending machines across the city. You’ll have to pay rent on the space you take up only and on the supplies within the device. They require very little maintenance and are profitable as they are popular in offices, schools, and streets.
Vendor stalls
Another easy way of selling food is to own stalls. You don’t have to be the one doing the selling or the cooking. You need to hold the booth and provide the ingredients/food to a shopkeeper who can sell it. The storekeepers will have to get a commission of the profits. You won’t need to do much other than keep tabs on the business.
Personal chef
Cooking for a restaurant is hard. Customers expect their full course meals to be prepared and bought to the table fully garnished and complete within a few minutes of placing the order. Cooks have to be inhumanly fast and exceptionally well acquainted with recipes and preparation.
It’s a daunting task and not easy to fulfill even when you get the job. Being a personal chef may sound daunting too at first, until you realize I don’t mean dressing up in a white apron and spending hours at a wealthy stranger’s place cooking precisely what they ask you to.
Many families are too busy with work and are too often a way to cook for the kids or themselves. While takeout is okay once in a while, the expense tends to add up. What’s more, parents get concerned about whether their children receive the proper nutrition they need from fast food and ramen every dinner time.
From this concern of health and expense, families would much rather have someone personally prepare delicious healthy meals and deliver them to their homes. You can cook from the safety of your kitchen and have the food produced in reusable containers to your employers, or go over there yourself to do it.
It’s a much less stressful environment and has the comfort of being homey and personal.
