Watch-outs

Idea-specific discussion points — not automatic disqualification

  • Food Safety Compliance

    Ensure FSSAI registration, regular health inspections, and adherence to hygiene standards to avoid shutdowns.

  • Ingredient Sourcing

    Secure reliable suppliers for flour, sugar, and specialty ingredients; price volatility can affect margins.

  • Seasonal Demand Fluctuations

    Plan inventory and staffing around wedding seasons and festivals to avoid overstock or shortages.

  • Cash‑Flow Management

    Maintain a buffer for ingredient price hikes and utility spikes; avoid over‑leveraging before sales stabilize.

  • Marketing Reach

    Build a strong online presence and local partnerships; rely on word‑of‑mouth and event planners for repeat business.
