Multi-cuisine cloud-kitchen brand for East Delhi

East Delhi packs roughly three million residents into dense apartment clusters (Mayur Vihar, Patparganj, Preet Vihar) with high food-delivery adoption and order density, while real estate runs cheaper than central Delhi — the operating edge here. This brand runs two to three small kitchens (200-400 sq ft) on Swiggy, Zomato, and direct/corporate channels, leaning on the district's trans-Yamuna markets and metro links atom for cheap supply runs and staffing. The honest hard parts dominate the risk: aggregator commissions of roughly 28-32% per order squeeze margin, a 4.0+ rating must be defended relentlessly, and the binding constraint is a head chef who can push 100+ consistent orders a day. FSSAI licensing and kitchen compliance are table stakes. Buyers are delivery-app households across the cluster plus nearby corporate lunch orders. This is correctly a skilled food-service operation, not an infra play — the value is in menu, throughput, and rating discipline. Start with one kitchen and a tight 8-10 item menu proven over three months before opening the second.
