NON CRYPTO THREAD BOYS:
I've recently decided to try something: I want to deliver breakfast in my neighbourhood on Sat/Sunday Morning to earn some extra money.
So far these have been my thoughts:
-Start with my street block first (~20 houses) for a test run to see if the demand is there.
-I live in Switzerland
-Offer them a free croissant for the first time
-Contact the bakery from the next town (we dont have a good one) to get the food ready in advance (if they package for me, I won't have to touch/repackage the food, which would be a sanitary law issue)
Now here are some issues / things that need thoughts:
PAYMENTS: I don't want to run after the people for their money or wait at their door - I'd prefer to leave it at the doorstep/in the mail box (Yes, I might loose out on tip money)
I was thinking to tell them to put it in the mailbox overnight, and I'd pick it up while delivering (theft risk?)
Another solution would be to take like 20$ on the first order, and keep it as credit for them.
Ordering:
For the first time, Id bring a letter to the 20 houses, telling them about my service. However, what would be the best way to place an order for them?
Telephone doesn't work, I'm busy during the day
Website (woocommerce) is too much hassle for the customer
Google forms would be nice but unprofessional
Email would require me to transcribe lots of stuff and I might loose track.
So here are some questions for you guys:
- What would be the best way to handle the payments?
- Is there a good software/app to keep track of the payments / orders / people who have credit left?
- Any online alternative to woocommerce?
- Any other comments?:P
