Problem:- mumbai or any restaurant and banquets discard 200-300tones of cooked meals daily, they pay 5-10rs per kg for waste removal - no revenue on leftovers. office lunch pain :- limited affordable, quality lunch options for 1.2million office workers in Mumbai tech parks solution:- we aggregate plates, unsold meals at the end of lunch service and delivers them as "surprise lunch boxes" to offices at 120 - 160rs/ box win for restaurant:- turn the unsold meals into cash (25-50rs/box) with zero logistics burden win for office:- affordable, varied, reliable lunch - no menu planning or contracts. win for us:- 80-90rs profit per box, high unit economics, instantly transferable funds. market opportunities:- restaurant waste : ~48000 meal/day in Mumbai ( 12000×20 plates). corporate lunch market:- 5000 core/year spent on office lunches in BKC, Powai, Lower parel, Airoli etc. #idea #ecofriendly #sustainable

Firstly, no one would be interested in buying a lunch box for 160 ruppes , because you can unlimited food for just 100-120 in mess and canteens. Consider it from a viewpoint of a corporate worker , everyone is looking for better quality and standard of life , if someone is paying 120 they will expect fresh food not discarded food. The problem is genuine, people do really face a lot of problems with tiffins. But you also have to understand the distribution game, and as you mentioned restaurants don't have to deal with logistics, but you'll have to. and delivering 10s and 1000s of 'dabba' or plate is not a easy cup of tea. The story behind the idea and thought process is great but you need to put more time to understand how the problem will actually get solved. But i do hope you win all the best champ!

The math doesn't add up. 48,000 meals × 80rs profit = 38L daily revenue? That's 140cr annually from just Mumbai? Either the market size is inflated or competition will flood in immediately. Also, restaurants won't give you their best unsold food..you'll get the stuff they couldn't sell for a reason.

This is a food safety nightmare waiting to happen. "Surprise lunch boxes" from restaurant leftovers? How do you maintain cold chain? Track food prep times? Handle allergens? One food poisoning case and your entire business is dead. FSSAI regulations exist for a reason.
