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).

Kellogg’s Chocos ke saath ‘Khuljaye Bachpan’ !

‘Instructive parents’…..? At the age of Internet, Android, WhatsApp, Twitter …. ? Do you think ….. that’s possible any more ? No Way.  No More.  What they expect from us is, that, we must be the Buddy parents, Interactive parents, Friendly parents ….& that's all.

Gone are the day’s when we were ordered by our parents or grandparents, to do something or to not to do something. Even we used to felt very bad when we were forced to do something….. that was beyond our expectations. Even we felt it bad when we had to move as a puppet, on the orders of our elders. We never liked it at our age, and so, how can we repeat the same process with our kids.

Now’s the time when we must be the Buddy parents with whom, the child can mix up as a friend, could discuss everything, may be good or bad, and in that friendly chat, being the interactive parents, we can make up their mind towards the better, towards the life, towards the target to be achieved, but ……..in a friendly manner.

We must empower, boost their energy levels, to make them compatible with the prevailing system where it’s difficult to get a seat in a good college even after getting 95% marks. We want them to be fearless in this dirty society where even kids are not safe out of the home. And we can never do it by giving instructions. We can teach them, in a much better way, by being the interactive Mom & Dad. We must concentrate on the principles of “khuljae Bachpan” & “Khiljae Bachpan”.

We must have the ‘bonding moments’ with our kids so that, they could get the feeling of our love and affection towards them, that could make them feel more secure and stronger. We must start boosting our kids since the early childhood days and you will definitely get the desired ‘Khushi ke pal’. 

I know that while using my Android, whenever, I get some problem, I just pass it on to my daughters and the problem is sorted out in minutes. I can say I am absolutely dependent upon them, at least for maintaining my Android mobile and that’s truly the ‘Khushi ke pal’ for me.

Similarly, when we are out on the vacation, while I capture pictures using my Nikon, she uses her selfie stick to capture the entire world on her mobile. The minute she asks me to fit in the small frame of her mobile, it gives me the desired ‘Khushi ke pal’.

I remember the day when my mom was serious in hospital & in the tension, I could not go to the ATM, she brought her Piggy Bank to me and offered me to take as much as I wanted. That indeed was, one of the best  ‘Khushi ke pal’ for me.

Once, while I was very tired, she (my daughter) opened the packet of Kellogg’s Chocos and started feeding me like a small baby while my wife was making a cup of tea for me. That was, also, one of the best ‘Khushi ke pal’ for me. 

There are many such instances that bring a smile on my face and even boost my energy level by consuming Kellogg’s Chocos. Even you can feel the desired ‘Khushi ke pal’, by just opening a packet of Kellogg’s Chocos. You can know more about it from the face Book link  :  https://www.facebook.com/mychocos.

Dabur Honey to stay fit & healthy, even in summers

Now a day’s street food has become the lifeline of Delhiite’s, and that’s what we call crazy eating as Delhiite's are really crazy for a variety of eatables available in every locality. It may be Pizza or Pasta, Idly, Dosa or Utpam, Chole Bhature or Momo’s, a stuffed Aloo Paratha with curd and butter or Samosa and Kachori. It may be Ice cream, Gulab Jamun, Ras Gulla, Ras Malai, Kulfi, Halwa or a big glass of Juice from the juice corners available in every part.

The outcome is the fattest, increase in body weight, High blood pressure or Sugar. Therefore, it becomes necessary to make a regular visit to the area Gym to maintain the body weight and those willing for immediate results, often go for the crash diets for weight reduction which may be very harmful as these crash diets make an adverse impact on the body.

Instead of opting for the crash diets, we must go for the balanced and a healthy diet to stay fit and to be far away from being obese. The benefits are that we will have no urgency to visit a doctor regularly. We will have no urgency to continue with regular medicines. We will have more energy to do the positive thinking and more work to achieve targets of our life. 

A simple example of the balanced and a healthy diet is   Honey with natural sugar.  It contains all the essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, minerals, amino acids, proteins as well vitamins. It provides energy without building heat and therefore it’s very much ideal even for summers. It has lesser calories when compare to sugar. It helps in digestion also. It has the moisturizing and nourishing properties and therefore very useful for beautiful skin. Moreover, it’s said by our elders that we can have our complete weight management by having a spoon of honey with warm water in the morning, regularly. It’s very useful even in the cough & cold.

It can very easily be added to our daily diet. We can replace sugar with honey to stay healthy and fit. We can use it in milk, tea or coffee. We can add it in juices instead of sugar. We can have it with bread. We can use it in every product where we are so far using sugar. As it’s much sweeter than sugar, we can reduce its quantity also when compared to sugar. As a result, we can save ourselves, not only from the bad impact of sugar, but at the same time, can remain fit and healthy with this natural sugar.

You can have detailed information about the branded Dabur honey from the Honey Diet  Link that reflects their website, i.e. http://www.daburhoney.com/. It’s safe for human consumption as it has been filtered & processed to remove the impurities such as pollen, wax and dust.

Enjoy the best street food at a road side Dhaba !

Parantha is a famous food of Delhi & Punjab and almost everyone of us like to eat Paranthas & that too stuffed with Aloo, Aloo Pyaj as well Egg. Its regularly cooked in our kitchen at our home as a morning breakfast. When out of Delhi, we prefer to eat it, as its time saving.

There are many sources where you can go and have it. ‘Ahuja Number 1’ at Sonipat and ‘Fauji Dhaba’ at Karnal bypass are the most famous ones though many new hotels with Star ratings have come up on this stretch of GT Road such as ‘Haveli’. But today I am writing about the Pranthas of Mool Chand at Delhi itself.

Yeah ! I was quite unknown about this roadside eatery shop. Once I read about it in one of the newspaper & decided to go there to have its taste.

It was a small Dhaba type on the corner of a road just opposite the mool chand metro station. It was around 6 pm in the evening and I was surprised to find a large number of cars parked here and there & the Paranthas were being served in the car itself.

We parked our car & decided to place the order. Within minutes a young man was standing in front of us, to book the order. We asked for Aloo Parantha as well Aloo pyaj parantha.

Within 5 minutes we had the same in our car with Parantha in a paper plate with chutney, pyaj & green mirch. We asked for Rayta & butter & he brought the same in the split of a second.

Though we are regular eaters of stuffed paranthas & we have tried it at many places, including Five star hotels of Delhi. But the taste of parantha here was a bit different. It was crispy and very tasty.

Soon we finished it and ordered the Egg Parantha. We have tried the same at the ITO also where the shop opens after 10 pm and that too for two hours only for the vendors of newspapers. The egg parantha at Mool Chand looked good & again very crispy & tasty.

As we really enjoyed the Paranthas at Mool Chand, i asked about the history of this Dhaba & how it became so famous. I was told by the person in charge, Vijay, that it was opened in the year 1975 and the owner was  Ram Lal Thakkar.

I was told that they have regular customers from every part of Delhi & many top celebrities also visit the road side Dhaba to have the stuffed parantha. It has become so famous that it has been covered by almost all the newspapers. We were told that if we are there after 8 pm, we have to wait for much longer duration to enjoy the food due to heavy rush there.

We too liked the Road Side food, though it was not that much hygienic as we prefer to eat. But once in a month, we can definitely come here to enjoy it. If you have not yet visited this road side open air Dhaba, for the best street food, plz visit once & have the taste of Delhiites, Desi Food.
