Here are a few business ideas, which can be explored in restaurant industry:

This makes cafés as one of the most sought after business ideas as well as making business in the country.

2.Food truck:

This is new culture adapted from the west, which is finding its way into the mainland India. India has witnessed small scale hawkers and food push carts, in which hygiene and safety of food is the matter of question.

Introduction of food trucks in India will provide variety as well hygiene out of mind, while savoring the lip smacking food items. Plus the benefit of food truck is that it is not stagnant, thus getting customers is easy.

4.Bakery:

Bakery products have become the important meal of the day. The varieties of breads available and celebrations for occasions have made this business reach heights.

One can open a bakery with low investment and the demand is always high, which makes this business small yet profitable.

If one is an expert in cake baking, then theme based cakes are so in and the market will work in their favor.

5.Catering services:

This service is popular in food business as people approach for every small and big occasion and gets together.

Other than this people hopping from city to city for their demanding jobs, crave for home made food, where catering services come into play, especially the ones, who supply in hostels or P.G.s or the office canteens.
