"Pizza Delivery Business": How to Get Started

---

The fast food industry used to be monopolized by big corporate players. This phenomenon prevented newcomers from entering the industry without a significant amount of capital. Although it's still true today, smaller, gourmet and specialty fast food served from kiosk and food trucks are rising to challenge the big players, and has proven to be a successful business model.

Considering the momentum, one of the types of fast foods that can be started utilizing this business model is pizza. Delivery for pizza is more common than the dine-in option, so the business can be started as home-based, focusing on only delivery service.

With health-oriented business gaining popularity in recent years, health-oriented pizza product can also be an attractive opportunity.

By focusing on delivery only business, you eliminate the significant cost of installing a brick-and-mortar pizza restaurant. Expansion opportunities are also available, such as franchising or opening a fast-food chain.

1. Startup Investment
Your obvious investment will go to your kitchen equipment, especially a pizza oven. The oven will cost you ranging from below $1,000 to above $15,000, depending on brand, quality, and size. Second-hand equipment might be available and will save you significantly provided you can find ones in good conditions. Your startup investment will be around $20,000 minimum.

2. Find your Specialty
As with any food and beverage business, your recipe will be your main weapon. Invest some time in research and developing your product. As mentioned before, health and diet oriented foods are the big thing nowadays, and can be an excellent opportunity to kickstart your business.

3. License and Permit
Most states will require a special permit for food and beverage business, as well as insurance. Consult your local authorities for more information regarding required licenses and permits to save you from future trouble.

4. Marketing
Instagram and other social medias are big for food delivery products nowadays, and can be your main strategy. Make sure to ensure that all your product photos are well taken with the social media standard nowadays. Traditional collaterals like flyers and brochures can also be a good marketing strategy, depending on the demographics of your location. Invite food bloggers to review your product, and ask your family and friends to post your product on your social media.

5. Maintaining Cost
Managing cost for optimal profitability is crucial in food and beverage business. Make sure your cost of goods sold (the pizza) is no more than 25%-35% of the selling price. As you offer delivery service, make sure to take the transportation cost into account. If you hire employees, your total labor costs shouldn't be any more than 20% of your total revenue.

If food bazaar or flea market are available, it can also be a good place to introduce your product while making extra sales.

Earning Potential

With $13 being the average pizza price in the U.S., selling ten pizzas a day, or 300 a month will net you $3,900 monthly, or $46,800 in a year. Of course, your earning will go up as you sell more pizzas in a month.

As previously mentioned, once the business is established you can opt for an expansion to open a kiosk or food truck, brick-and-mortar restaurant, offer franchising opportunities, as well as opening in more locations, increasing your earning potential exponentially.
