Yum Kitchen – One stop destination for All Your Late Night Food Needs!

In amidst of uncertainty of funding and negativity on whole food tech startups world, there are a handful of companies that are able to survive and sustain in the market with unit level profit. These companies are more concerned about their expenditure, profits and losses over GMV or revenue. In this article, I want to introduce one such startup operating from HSR layout (peaceful residential area) of Bangalore. They have taken baby steps and built a fixed prototype that is able to sustain on its own, grow month-on-month by optimizing its supply-chain, procurement of items and delivery system. Let’s break the suspense! I am talking about YumKitchen, a food startup that operates in the late night, specialised in Chinese, North Indian and Continental cuisines.This is a startup co-founded by 3 young passionate entrepreneurs who want make a difference in Food industry by supplying yummy (yum is taken from yummy) food at a reasonable price in quickest time.

Deepak, the co-founder, left his high paying job to purse his entrepreneurial journey was accompanied by his friends Nirvan and Avinash in making YumKitchen live. Let’s find more about his journey and also the future plans of this venture.

What is YumKitchen and how was it started?

YumKitchen is late night restaurant catering food to Midnight Madness (techies, gamers, employees, students etc). We are operating from Bangalore (main kitchen is in HSR layout, and extended kitchen is in Electronic City). We started Yum kitchen 7 months back. We started YumKitchen as online QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) that serves Indian style of food made by the cuisine specialists catering to everyone.

I always have passion for entrepreneurship. I started and closed a homemade food company 4 years back when I was working at Puma. Though I was working as a full time employee with good salary, there was this entrepreneurship bug on the back of my mind. After settling all financial commitments, I began to think of starting something big and branded. For 1 year, I have done an in-depth analysis of Food industry and opportunities in various food industry segments. From my research, it was clear that this is an unorganised industry and people are willing to stick a brand who can supply tasty food with best-in-class service in terms of delivery, quantity and punctuality.

What is the market size of your startup?

According to ibef.org, India Food Service is going to grow from $48 billion to $78 billion in 5 years from 2015 to 2020. QSR segment alone is projected to be of 16,785 crores INR. Presently, there are few international players like Dominos, McDonalds, Yum Restaurant that own small pie of this QSR business. Most of the business is un-organized and is dominated by local vendors. We want to create a QSR brand that supplies traditional Indian food with best-in-quality and taste!

How Yum Kithcen Operates?

As a food business person, I wanted the brand to have full control on food that is prepared, supply chain and logistics to give wow factor for the customer. Hence, we prepare the food, do an optimal supply chain decreasing the food wastage and by using a proprietary model of delivery, we are able to satisfy the customer on all fronts. Supply-chain and

What is the present status?

Presently, we have 1 main kitchen in HSR layout that caters to most of the night-out localities like HSR, Kormangala, Indira Nagar, Bellandur, BTM 1^st and 2^nd Stage, Bommanhalli, Lakkasandra, Sarjapur (main road). We have a franchise at electronic city too! We want to open 3 more kitchens to cover complete Bangalore (North, South, East, West and Central).

Are you planning to raise funding and how much?

We want to expand as soon as possible in this segment with-in Bangalore and to other metros like Mumabi, Pune, Delhi-NCR, Chennai, Hyderabad etc. and also want to start new entities like Digital Kiosks, Food trucks etc. We want to raise a minimum of 1 crore rupees. We have talked to couple of HNIs and Angel investors. One of them is keen on our model and it is in advance discussions. We will update you on this.

What will you do with funding?

First and foremost, we want to build brand for Yum Kitchen. Secondly, we want to strengthen our logistics and create intuitive website and app. We will open 3 more kitchens to cover whole Bangalore. Also, we will do selected marketing (primarily digital marketing).

Star Wars – The awakened force

HP Star Wars Force tracked, that certain Aliens were trying to land on the Mars. The Star Wars team rushed immediately towards the Mars, by using their latest HP Star Wars Rockets. The HP rocket had the lightening speed and in minutes Star Wars Force reached the Mars.

There were a certain new breed of Aliens that were quite similar to the Owls on our Earth, but had long hands and long legs with certain laser beams through small control panels in their hands.

Star Wars Force started observing them from a suitable distance. It seemed that the Aliens were trying to make the Mars a base for their future operations. But as it was a day time on the Mars, the Owl Aliens were not able to see anything.

The Star Wars Force used the HP Special Edition Star Wars Notebook and made a virtual screen to cover the entire sky of Mars. They enlightened the sky with lights similar to the impression of the day time on the Mars.

As a result, it was a day for ever on the mars and Owl Aliens were not able to view anything for days. At last, they rushed towards their planes and left the Planet.

HP Star Wars Force started following them and soon they reached the small planet of Owl Aliens. It was very sad and shocking view on that small planet. There was no food there and a large number of Owl Aliens were starving.

HP Star Wars Force observed that, it was a day there and as a result, Owl Aliens were not able to see anything due to excessive light, for a long time and that had resulted in no work, no food and starvation.

HP Star Wars Force rushed back a team to the earth for bringing food pills for the Owl Aliens. Another team used the HP Special Edition Notebook for the second time and made a virtual screen to cover the entire sky of that small planet and used black lights to darken the planet.

Within minutes, Owl Aliens were able to see everything. In the meantime, the HP Star Wars Team came back from the earth with food pills. The owl Aliens were served food pills and soon they all were well. The Owl aliens started laughing, giggling and dancing with joy. Some of them were singing in their own voices with very funny sounds. The HP star wars team was enjoying those funny faces even though they were the aliens on a remote planet.

The owl aliens invited the HP Star Wars Force into their planet and shared various secrets with them. While coming back, the owl aliens gifted so many precious items and begged for the HP Special Edition Star Wars notebook. HP Star Wars Force Smiled and gifted the HP Special Edition Star Wars Notebook to the Owl Aliens.

Owl Aliens were very happy as they had a great power in their hand in the shape of HP Special Edition Star Wars Notebook and hence they were able to convert the day into a night and so no more starvation.

The HP Star Wars Force was happy, as the latest HP Star Wars Note Book had made it possible to move at the lightening speed as well to make the huge virtual screens and probably it was the first time when they had served a community of Aliens without firing even a single shot. It was a great victory as the Aliens were now friends. If you too wish to #AwakenYourForce, you must log on to : www.hpshopping.in/starwars .

SHARE A HUG YAAR !

In this modern world of Social media, we have a large number of friends on WhatsApp and Facebook. We have a large number of Followers on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We chat regularly with them. We like each others post regularly, but in reality, we never meet, as we don’t even know them properly. This is the reality of the modern world.

We keep our self busy on our smart phones doing hi and hello and liking various posts even without understanding the content. Once I viewed a post on FB where someone had mentioned that one of his close relatives had expired. The post had many messages saying RIP in different ways, but surprisingly, that post was liked by a large number of persons, even without understanding the content of the message.

Even you can try it once. Just post on your FB that you have some severe medical emergency and want someone to take you to the hospital. The only reply you will get will be Oh, Ah, Sad, Very bad, but with a large number of LIKES as something great has happened.

If you call them, your friends or a real friendship or if you feel proud on those likes, you are no more than a fool, living in a fools paradise. In this real world, we don’t require the virtual friends. We require the friendship with real human beings who can understand your feelings and sentiments.

Yaari and dosti can never be understood in Facebook likes. Yaari dosti means you can sit together, eat together, laugh together and enjoy together. Friends are truly the persons who are always willing to meet you in person. They are ready to help you, in case of any emergency and they are always ready to SHARE A HUG, whatever the circumstances may be.

So, it will be a better option for all of us that in spite of having a large number of virtual friends, we must have at least a few real & true friends who can join us personally to celebrate responsibility by a true Yarii & true dosti because a real hug from a close friend gives a real boost to the sentiments, emotions as well sensibility.
