I selected the topic of why homemade food is best for discussion in the article. Which types of food prepared at home we can call homemade food. In the e-commerce sector, this food plays a big role. Because there are skilled women involved in homemade food ventures, they are not only supporting themselves through this initiative but are also making a significant contribution to the family and the economy.
The food industry involves the public health of the country. Currently, there is no food that is not available to homemade food entrepreneurs.
Those who are working with homemade food are delivering the food to the customers every day, keeping several parameters in mind like-
1. Quality Control: The food entrepreneurs always ensure customers’ expected taste and quantity by procuring good-quality ingredients. for example: When a customer confirms his food order after knowing his taste, choice, or dislikes, it is cooked accordingly. Some eat less salt, some more, some want to cook in soybean oil, some in mustard oil, and many prefer to eat food cooked in olive oil due to health awareness. Keeping all these in mind, homemade food entrepreneurs prepare food and deliver it to consumers’ doorsteps.
2. Healthy: The food is prepared by ensuring the cleanliness of the ingredients starting from collecting food ingredients before cooking and maintaining the nutritional quality of the food during cooking. For example, washing fish or meat well, washing vegetables before peeling, and cooking with a lid during cooking are all aspects of cooking. Also, procurement of raw materials is ensured only after order confirmation to ensure fresh food.
3. Customized Food: A customer can only order the quantity and taste of food of his choice in Homemade Food. Here entrepreneurs try to understand the needs of customers and deliver food accordingly. They try to understand the customer’s taste. Maybe some like sweets more, some less. Some prefer sour, some sweet or salty. This way, customers can get customized food delivery as per their choice. Because of this opportunity to customize, homemade food has gained so much popularity.
4. Fresh ingredients: The food entrepreneurs buy fresh ingredients like fish, chicken, vegetables, milk, etc., after confirming the food order and preparing the menu with it, so it is fresh, tasty, and healthy. They never make and deliver food with refrigerated ingredients, as is the case with regular meals. It protects the nutritional quality and taste of the food. The taste of food is highly dependent on good quality ingredients for making food. Therefore, the entrepreneurs of homemade food never compromise to maintain their food quality and reputation.
5. Personal Dietary Requirement: Customers often have their own preferences regarding the proportional use of different ingredients in food preparation. It is possible to fulfill this Personal Dietary Requirement of customers only in the case of homemade footage. For example, when a customer is in the hospital, he needs a curry of thin broth of horn fish with papaya.
But when this same customer stays home healthy, he orders horn fish bhuna, which has a little more oil and is called Jhall masala. In this way, this food entrepreneurs work by understanding the customers’ personal dietary requirements. In this way, it is understood that the same customer’s preferences and tastes change with time and environment, and accordingly, his food menu selection also changes.
6. Time Efficiency: Knowing exactly when customers want food is very important. Maybe breakfast at 8 am, lunch between 12:30 pm, or dinner between 8 pm. This food entrepreneurs understand the customer’s needs and deliver the food within the specified time. Entrepreneurs value customer’s precious time by delivering food on time. Thus, on the one hand, the customers are satisfied, and on the other hand, the homemade food entrepreneurs ensure their service.
7. Educational Opportunities: This food is not limited to just ordering and delivering food. From the moment every order comes in, every place has learning opportunities. A homemade food entrepreneur aims to make and deliver food to the customer’s liking, understand what the customer says, and ensure service accordingly.
For this reason, homemade food entrepreneurs must be constantly updated about what customers want, what age customers like differences in preferences between men and women, and diet menus for various sick patients. That’s why they have to study about the food and the customer.
8. Variation: One of the most positive aspects of homemade food is variety. Especially the variety of recipes and flavors. Every homemade food entrepreneur has a different hand-cooking method and technique and a different taste. One person’s cooking taste will never match another person’s hand-cooking taste. This is where homemade food is unique and wonderful.
So customers can also become customers of all types of homemade food entrepreneurs according to their preferences and changing tastes. Due to this diversity, there is no doubt that the homemade food industry will continue to grow daily.
9. Bring People Together: Since the homemade food entrepreneurs in the e-commerce sector work on online platforms, there is much interaction between people.
Here, entrepreneurs are all customers, and there are also silent customers. In this way, just as one entrepreneur has the opportunity to know another entrepreneur, different types of customers also have the opportunity to know numerous entrepreneurs. In this way, homemade food entrepreneurs have used Facebook in a good way to keep many people united in the same way, which plays an important role in developing everyone’s communication skills.
10. Contribution to the country’s health sector: Entrepreneurs have not only chosen homemade food as their profession, they are making significant contributions to the country’s health sector. When most of the country’s people fail to arrange homemade food themselves due to their busy schedule, instead of choosing outside food, they keep homemade food in their diet and choose homemade food entrepreneurs, ensuring their healthy food.
By doing this, the nutritional quality of the country’s working people remains intact, and they can contribute more to the country’s work by staying healthy. Thus, homemade food entrepreneurs directly contribute to the country’s health sector through this industry.
As long as man lives, he must eat. As time goes by, people’s busyness will increase. There will be no time and situation to prepare and eat food according to everyone’s choice. Like other basic needs of daily life, homemade food fulfills everyone’s needs. Therefore, considering the homemade food industry as a separate field of work, the government and concerned parties should be aware of this in the future.
Homemade food is undoubtedly good for us. Homemade food is healthy and delicious. Consumers of homemade food are increasing day by day as the quality of homemade food is much better and of course it can be customized which is definitely a positive for us. I can trust in homemade food in the last three years. Online food entrepreneurship has been created due to e-commerce. As a result, food entrepreneurs can play an important role in the economy of Bangladesh.
What I like the most is that we can order our traditional food online and taste the food. Pitha is very important in the tradition and culture of Bangladesh. For busy schedule or not being able to make pitha yourself so, everyone can get the opportunity to eat the pitha that we grew up eating as a child, but online food entrepreneurs can give pitha whenever we want by online . Not only pitha but also different types of pickles we can taste from them. Thank you very much for this article explaining why homemade food is good.
