Creating YOUR OWN FOOD VENTURE

Published on

Have you been yearning to start your own food business, but haven’t been able to find the right kitchen? Well if you answered yes to that you might just want to get in touch with Cantina!

Cantina enables online food entrepreneurs to start their own white label restaurant by connecting them to local kitchen networks.

‘One can start their very own white label restaurant anywhere within 1 hour for as little as Rs 200’ stated Cantina’s Vizag-based entrepreneur, Mr. Ramaseshu.

With the Indian food industry poised for growth Cloud kitchens are fast becoming a booming sensation.

However Cantina is not just a standalone cloud kitchen but an amalgamation of various cloud kitchens in the city.

As per Ramaseshu there are many restaurant kitchens in the city that are way underutilized and would be happy to get more business.

‘Typically the thumb rule in any city is that 90% of the orders are fulfilled by just 10% of the restaurants in that city. This therefore leaves the other 90% of restaurant kitchens underutilized’ informed Mr Ramaseshu.

It is to help these underutilized businesses garner more revenue that Cantina helps match these kitchens to food entrepreneurs wanting to start their own food venture.

The startup currently has about 16 brands actively operating on its platform while 45 have been put on waiting list as per the founder.

In terms of revenue Cantina charges a subscription fee to the food entrepreneur which ranges from as low as Rs 100 to 2000/month.

In addition Cantina is not just a matchmaking platform but also doubles up as a delivery platform just like Swiggy and Zomato.

We currently offer over 15 different cuisines on our platform ranging Indochinese, tandoori, Mexican, south Indian etc. said Mr Ramseshu.

Armed with a team of six members and an aggressive marketing strategy Cantina looks to make a significant mark in this space.
