Start a home tiffin service

What sells

• A weekday lunch box: dal, a sabzi, rice or rotis, salad
• A lighter dinner box for people who live alone
• Weekly plans that repeat every Monday to Friday
• One special day a week (Friday biryani, Sunday thali) to keep it fresh

Pricing

• Price per box, and keep one simple weekly price for regulars
• Steel tiffins that come back cost less than throwaway boxes over a month

Packing and order times

• Mark containers as returnable steel tiffins or packed boxes in Bloom
• Keep one pickup time window, or a delivery window for your building and nearby streets

Keeping it fresh

Cook the same morning and hand over within a few hours; keep curd and rice dishes cool in summer.

Selling tiffin and daily meals on Bloom, step by step

1. Turn on your kitchen. In Bloom's Kitchen tab, tap Sell your home cooking: a name, what you cook, pickup or delivery and how you get paid. Three steps, free.
2. Add your dishes. Each dish once: a photo, the price, the portion (serves 2, 500 g, 6 pieces) and the allergens.
3. Plan your cook days. Tick the days you cook, how many portions of each dish, and when orders close. Days that repeat every week open by themselves.
4. Share your menu. Bloom makes a menu picture and message for WhatsApp, your status, Instagram and your building group, the moment it's live.
5. Cook, hand over, get paid. Orders count down your portions. Buyers pay you directly by UPI, bank, any payment app or cash. No commission.

Rules for selling food from home differ by country and city. Bloom lets you add a registration or permit number where you have one; check what your area asks for.
