On the hunt for business ideas in the food and beverage industries? Perhaps you should consider starting a food delivery service for students…
Some facts about students:
- They’re always hungry
- They’re always on a budget
- They’re always online.
There must be a business opportunity to exploit here! Enter eatstudent.co.uk, a free online food delivery service for university students in the UK, which is making nice money out of that very business opportunity.
How does eatstudent.co.uk work?
eatstudent.co.uk has negotiated exclusive, discounted deals with partner restaurants – including Chinese and Indian takeaways, pizza parlours and fast food restaurants – in key university towns in the UK.
To order their food, hungry students simply choose their university from a drop down menu, select their residency hall and click ‘Find Some Food’ to browse restaurants serving their residencies. After adding their order to their online shopping cart and making a secure online payment, it’s not long before a hot meal is delivered to their door. Registered users get the added benefits of special offers and faster delivery time.
With 21 universities in South Africa, all populated by hungry, budget-conscious students, there could be an interesting business opportunity for an eager entrepreneur to roll out a similar concept in South Africa…
