Free Home Kitchen Accreditation by a Food Safety Officer + Free Food Safety Course (Valued at $399) from Foobie

40

Foobie is Launching soon and we are looking to recruit thousands of home kitchens all over Australia to join the Home Kitchen food sharing revolution.

If you are a secret Master Chef, or a stay at home parent that knows how to cook, or even want to earn some part time money after work or on weekends and have between 1-5 amazing meals that you know how to make or that secret recipe that has been in the family for over 100 years, why not potentially earn up to a full time income working from home for Lunch Or Dinner and cooking just 1-5 dishes. If you have an amazing pasta recipe,delicious stew, Thai Curry, Delicious Salad, Home Made Meat Pie or You can Make Birthday Cakes, Wedding Cakes, or much more.

Work your own hours by choosing the days and either Lunch or Dinner availability or maybe even on the weekends. For a limited time, we will put you through a food safety course to ensure you are literate in food safety. We will also send out a Food Safety Inspector to check and accredit your home kitchen. For Customers we will be providing delicious home cooked authentic meals at less than restaurant prices due to lower costs of running a home kitchen with Free Home Delivery included.

Meals will be up to 50% cheaper than Other options and every meal will be professionally photographed and reviewed by customers via our platform. We will also be adding calorie counts and macro's on a selection of meals with our in-house nutritionist. We envisage the best 5 star reviewed meals will be sold out weeks in advance as we build this exciting network, we will have ordering via our website and Android and Apple Apps.

Also we ask that anyone joining our Home Kitchen network also commit to giving up to 10% of everything they sell to needy and hungry people in their area as part of our community commitment.

Why not Join the revolution and Jump on now and we will help you every step of the way. Accredit your Kitchen if it is up to standard. We envisage our Top Kitchens will be earning up to thousands of dollars a week and only having to work an average of 3 hrs per day at either lunch or dinner time on the days of their choosing. We will also pay you every week. Any questions or feedback happy to answer here. Just register your details via the link and we will contact you back to organise everything else and all at our cost for a limited time.

    3 hours of work per day to earn thousands of dollars a week.

    Smells like burnt fish to me.

    • We hope it is't burnt fish as we will not allow that. If You are cooking 1-2 pots of something like a stew, curry etc and selling around 50-70 servings a day at a margin of around $5 plus after ingredients cost per serving, that's $300 per day. You won't have the extra costs of a commercial premises.

  • Link would be?

    This one?

    EDIT: Also adding paragraphs would be helpful.

    Went from laughing my arse off to 'Hmm, this definitely has potential'

    The fact that alot of restaurants fail due to staff/rent costs actually has myself interested in this! After all, I'm in it for the food and not the experience! I would pay $10 for a decent home curry for example.

    • +1

      Exactly.. That is the sort of price points we are looking to get to and the customers will have full confidence to order with photos and reviews on each meal and knowing that the operators have been trained and accredit in food safety and their premises checked by a food safety inspector.

      I was curious so i clicked. Love the idea. I honestly don't have time to cook, so been with lite and easy for a few months now (after a while it all tastes the same). Eating out can be quite expensive too.

      Looking forward to this.

    Good luck

    • Thanks. We will be doing a lot of marketing including Facebook, Instagram and PR as we get closer to launch.

  • How did you come up with the name "foobie"?

    • It's a play on words, Foodie with a B instead of a D.

      • Perhaps you should Google the name and look at the Urban Dictionary definition.

        • We have but it is very rarely used in that context. We did some market research and it is very easy to remember which was one of the main reasons we went with the name

    I am interested in how the delivery and order system will work? Will there be food packaging supplied and at who's cost? After doing 200+ covers a night 70 serves is a walk in the park:)

    • Hi Tony, All orders will have a cut off time, such as 3pm for a 6pm delivery or a 10am cut off for lunch time delivery to allow all orders to be cooked to demand. We do not want any wastage for kitchens and everything will be cooked fresh. Delivery will be within up to a 5km radius. Food Packaging can be ordered through our recommended wholesalers which we will supply a list of in each area. Some kitchens will only be cooking one menu item and up to 5 maximum that they specialise in such as a pot of Beef Randang or Thai Green Curry etc. Also the maximum amount of orders per dish will be set by each kitchen.

      • So you are saying Delivery is up the the individual making the meals? With 5 menu items in a 5km radius 50-70 serves a day would be ambitious for a start up company even in dense Sydney CBD population. I like the concept, but if i have to deliver 70 serves when some will be single serves {lets face it many people order food when there is only one to cook for and it cost more in time and effort to make}, i would guess 25 would be single serves, 20 would be double serves and the rest multi serves. That would be over 40 deliveries as an average of 70 serves and in a 5km radius that would be about 10 minutes per delivery. One would spend more time delivering than cooking:)

        • Our App for Users provides each driver with a delivery path to deliver each meal in the quickest most logical delivery path via google maps. As everything is pre-ordered, the deliveries should take no longer than 30 minutes to 1 hr per kitchen according to our estimates. Most orders will be around 3 servings per order+ We may also reduce the areas to 3km radius as we get busier.

        • No offence meant, but 3 serves per order means you have more couple that order than singles. Even at 3 serves for kitchens doing 70 serves that is that is 23 deliveries, 23 deliveries in 1 hour is impossible, if you can organise 1 delivery every 2.6 minutes as you quote{ i took the hour figure because 30 minutes, oh well} you would make billions of dollars just starting a delivery company:) You need to look at the reality of delivery and that is it takes atleast 10 minutes per delivery, unless you park in the middle of the road and through the food at the house or unit, then your quoted time for 23 deliveries might work. As i said i like the concept, but in my opinion your company needs to do a bit more homework.

        • @foobie: so it would be the cooks who do the deliveries?

        • Or a family member.

        • Hi Tony,

          As it will be deliveries within a radius that are not being picked up individually as all deliveries will be on board from the start, we have actually done some field trails and in most cases less than 5 minutes per delivery is estimated. We have actually researched with current deliveroo and uber eats drivers who are able to pick up and deliver a meal within a radius such as ours in around 10 minutes. In our case we will have one pickup and multiple deliveries which drops the delivery times down considerably.

        • You actually makes some really good points Tony and maybe a small charge of say just $3 per delivery would make sense as the home kitchen gets paid for every step of the process then.

        • Sorry, the delivery time will be about 10 minutes, i dont care how good the app is, it will be 10 minutes per delivery. If you believe any app is accurate to get you though traffic and find legal car space, might i suggest you actual do deliveries yourself:) 5 minutes per delivery, what drugs are you taking? Even if you had deliveries in the same high rise building you would be lucky to do 5 minutes. To do a delivery and then get back in a car or on a bike and do another delivery in 5 minutes. Your business model on deliveries is way out of kilter. So your saying, get in the car drive, then find a legal parking spot{one fine would mean you work for nothing} then walk to the door and present the food and then get back into the car or onto a bike and then go to the next address find a park and deliver the food in 5 minutes!!!!! What drugs are you on? Seriously no pizza company works on 5 minutes, but your app will make it so????? Good concept, but i call a startup company that as i said, done there homework and will fail big time and take those that spend money on there kitchens to jump in. I will bet you no person will ever be able to do 23 random deliveries in 1 hour unless they are all in the same building and even then it would be a stretch.

          A charge of $3 would help, but for a cook to deliver at the scale of 50-70 serves it would only work if they had drivers. $3 would mean $18 an hour as average with 10 minutes a delivery. Leasing a vehicle for delivery drivers to use or asking them to use there own would not work at $18 an hour:)

          Starting to feel like i am teaching:)

        • Hi Tony, you have some valid points if you are considering city centre/metro orders but that is not our market according to our research. Most of our market will be based in the Suburbs where High Rises and parking are not an issue. One Pickup and Multiple deliveries within a geographic zone on orders that have already been paid for and just get delivered. In City/Metro Areas the delivery actually takes the longest due to parking issues and high rises + lifts etc as you have quite aptly noted. You are correct in that case

    Love the concept

  • Has this started yet? Don't see any menu items in Melbourne.

    • Hi Tatnal, we are in pre-launch and recruiting kitchens at the moment. We also have recruited some large Commercial Food Catering companies that will be joining our network. We would envisage soft launch with available meals within 3 Months or so.

  • Will this be launching in Perth? Seen another similar app 6-9mths ago, i requested for more info but they never got back to me. I dont think they ventured to WA.

    • Yes, we plan to go Australia wide

      • Im interested & have signed up. When do you plan to launch this in Perth? Where do i go from here, there's not much info on your site.

  • The calorie (profanity) and nutritional count seems a bit Suss. You are talking about home cooks. Serving sizes will likely be
    Inconsistent and recipes could be changed slightly due to commodity differentials.

    • Hi, The Calorie counts will be estimates which should be fairly close if the meals stay consistent based on the same ingredients and quantities. Meal sizes will not change as they have to fit into certain container sizes so they will be very consistent. If meals are not kept up to standards and reviews are bad on any kitchen they will be terminated immediately to protect the customers.

        Sorry about whatever profanity I inadvertently used. I have a fair idea what it would have been 🙄😇

      • +1

        OK, there is no chance of getting accredited for Calorie count on meals as you are using home cooks. Individual chefs of the highest order never make the exact same dish twice, the consistency with home cooks means its impossible to get a calorie count on food within the guideline!!!!! Never generalise to your customers, you are better of saying" really good food made with the least calories possible". i did not notice a profanity as i am a Chef and profanities are like water of a ducks back, a well cook ducks back that is:)

        • We will be providing calories as a guideline on many meals, not all. They will be a close estimate based on ingredients quantities used.

  • My mother have ample mount of time…what will be your charges ?

    • Hi Yoogal, We process all orders and do marketing etc. We take a 20% margin
