Business Overview
- We operate as a home-based food delivery service, specializing in authentic Italian dishes prepared with premium ingredients.
- We have successfully built a growing base of repeat customers through delivery orders, primarily driven by word-of-mouth and social media engagement.
- The promoter brings over 25 years of experience in the restaurant industry, including working in a leading Italian restaurant in Colombo, with an established network of loyal customers who trust his expertise.
- His experience is complemented by family members who have managed and operated the home-based delivery model, giving them hands-on knowledge of customer preferences, menu development, and social media-driven marketing.
- We get around 2 to 3 orders per day, but during weekends, we get up to 5 orders.
- Registered on online delivery platforms to generate leads.
- Business is based in Sri Lanka but one of the owners is in Thailand at the moment.
- Business has co-owners who are also the employees.
- We have a registration certificate.
Products & Services Overview
- We are running a cloud kitchen and delivery business serving pizza and other dishes with veg and non veg options.
- Once our restaurant opens, our top-selling offerings will include wood-fired artisan pizzas, handmade pastas, rich coffee specialties, and classic Italian desserts like tiramisu and panna cotta, along with themed dining events such as 'pasta nights'.
- These will be enjoyed by middle-class locals, tourists, and corporate diners, locals and office workers stopping in for quick lunches or coffee during the day, couples and families coming for authentic dinners in the evening, and tourists discovering the restaurant through hotels and social media.
- Corporate clients will use the venue for casual meetings or after-work gatherings, while food enthusiasts and influencers will attend themed events for unique experience and share it online.
