Money Making Idea - Selling Nuts and Dried Fruit at work
I have a money making idea. I've had this one for a while now.
Selling nuts and dried fruits at work
I work for the public service and in my office chips and chocolate are sold as a way to make some money for christmas/social club activities. There are also people in the building who sell chocolates to fundraise.
I have been thinking about selling mixed nuts. I would do it at lunch time. But i'm not sure if this is allowed? Does anyone know. Can I do this as a government employee?
I think there is a real niche here. No-one else sells nuts/dried fruit. Its a more healthy alternative to chips and chocolates. People may be interested? What do you think. Would people go for healthy foods?
There are around 300 people in our building.
Some people are lazy and may enjoy this convenience rather than walking to the shops. I was thinking I might have an earlier lunch break say 11.30 to catch when people are getting hungry.
I could buy the food in bulk and charge $2 for a small bag.
Anyone have any thoughts? Do you think people would buy? Would these foods be popular? I am I allowed to do this in the public service?
What are the pros and cons? What haven't I thought of? What do I need to consider if going ahead with this?
