Let's hear some pitches.

It doesn't have to be any good, just any idea, and we will proceed to give feedback.

Here's mine: Goatmeal.

It's a small truck that sells bowls of organic oats made with organic goat's milk (or soy upon request). It's target market is working professionals who don't have time to make breakfast, but care about the quality of the food they eat.

Condiment options would be basic, such as raisins, peanut butter, brown sugar, and butter. Sizes are bowls and cup.

I like this idea because the process from raw ingredients to product would be un-fuck-upable.

What do you think? Any other pitches?

Pic unrelated.

That's narrow minded. Imagine if a Goatmeal cart was right outside the subway station while you went to the office in the morning. If you are hungry and in a hurry, but need something that isn't cheap shit, Goatmeal has it for you.

Also, the overhead for Goatmeal is drastically less than a normal food truck.

I do, however, believe that there is a market for hot porridge in the morning. But you are then competing with: MCDONALDS which sells porridge for about a pound along with a selection of tasty breakfast items.

From having been in the crepe business for a while and having flogged a few "breakfast crepes" outsidadatrainstation I know you are fighting an uphill battle against people who have coffee and cigarettes for breakfast along with the yoghurt and smoothie purveyors and mcdonalds.

also, since this is a breakfast item, your business will be open from 6:30 to 11am at the most.

I can install them for free and undercut advertising firms by hundreds making a generous sum per machine and drastically opening up the market of possible clients aaaand making people happy with simple to find information.

A cafe that delivers.
I live in a large city, and its split between the commercial side, and where most people actually work. There are many business parks, and theyre miles from the nearest store. There are lunch trucks, but theyre all shitty ass quality. So I thought why not make a cafe that operates normally in store, but can also use bike messengers or something to deliver good quality food and coffee all across the city.
Thoughts?

You mean something like 'darwins deli' It's a bicycle sandwich delivery service that takes lunch to offices and shit.

There's about 3 of these business in London and they're bitchy as fuck about each other, constantly stealing each others employees.

My opinion on the food business is pretty low.

Unless, you come up with a brand of something, like a high end brand of cakes or biscuits or muffins, get some African bakers to actually make them and package them nicely, put your fancy branding on it and sell them to high end department stores. basically getting other people to do everything for you and taking the profit for yourself

As far as I know they do alright, Darwins Deli employs about 20 people. And I think it's the second largest. They deliver to office workers who don't want to leave the office.

I guess in liverpool you are competing with the regular burger vans and sandwich vans that park up in the industrial estates that have paid for a pitch.

That's where you come in with your sandwich truck, if you can do some research on which factories or businesses do not have a canteen you could get a sort of "round" going and make a killing at lunchtime.

Just make sure what you're offering is cheaper and more modern quality than the burger van. also do like a meal deal like a sub sandwich or pie + drink + yoghurt/chocolate bar/crisps for £3.50

I always thought about a huge line of Fee-free ATMs. Because of the lack of ATMs in Australia.

So people pay an annual fee for infinite free access to these atms, that also come with a coin counter so you can unload your change and deposit it directly into your account or in a high or lower denomination cash.

Thoughts?

Some kind of, like, general sex place. It would have a similar system to a gym, and it's basically for people who want to fuck with multiple other people. Very strict rules for anti-rape and stuff. It's assumed that you are willing to fuck with anyone else there of the opposite sex, and that guy's are wearing protection. If either of these things are not true for you, you have to say them.

There would be one larger common room with furniture and shelves with sex toys and shit on them, as well as cleaning materials; you are expected to clean up your own mess. There would also be private smaller private rooms that you could lock.

I've been thinking about this idea for awhile, and I don't really see any problems with it. You would just have to sign a waiver to go in every time, or you could buy a membership and just show a card or something.
