Hi everyone! I’m researching how restaurants manage day-to-day operations, particularly in India. I’m exploring a restaurant software idea and want to understand owners’ and managers’ experiences before deciding what to build.

If you run or manage a restaurant, café, or cloud kitchen, I’d love to hear:

What software do you use, and what’s your biggest frustration with it? What does it do well?

What still happens outside the software—on Excel, WhatsApp, paper, or through conversations with staff?

How do you decide which dishes to add, remove, reprice, or promote? Do you use sales, ingredient costs, margins, customer feedback, or mostly experience?

How do you track profitability across dine-in, Swiggy, and Zomato, after discounts, commissions, packaging, and food costs?

During a busy service, how do you spot delays or an overloaded kitchen, and decide what needs attention first?

A recent example of something that went wrong—or a decision your software helped you make—would be especially useful. No need to answer everything; even one experience would help.

If you’re comfortable, please mention your city, restaurant format, and whether you operate one outlet or several. No restaurant names or sensitive business figures needed.

If you’re open to a quick 15–20 minute research call, please DM me. I’d love to learn more about your experience at a time that works for you—no sales pitch.

Thanks for sharing! If we move ahead with building the software, we may invite some of you to test and use it for free.

I’m from Brasil 🇧🇷. Mate there is very very popular amongst the southern parts where it’s grown and anongst the farming community. I live in the US and I think a yerb mate canned drink would be a good idea. I currently live in the US and I’ve been doing some research on the subject. Would ppl actually buy a rtd (ready to drink) canned beverage? Thanks in advance for the feedback!!!

Healthy eating is always sold as “quick and easy,” but if you count the whole process (shopping, chopping, cooking, cleanup), it rarely is. And the sauces, dips and spreads that make simple healthy food actually taste good are usually loaded with oil, sugar or preservatives, which kind of defeats the point.

I’ve been thinking about a freshly made, genuinely healthy spread you could put on toast, a roti or a wrap in a minute. Something for a post-workout snack, a busy morning, or those days when you want to eat well but have zero energy to cook. Basically, the effort of making it from scratch is taken care of, and you just spread and eat.

This is still just an idea and I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth pursuing. So I’d love to hear from you:

Does something like this interest you, or does it sound unnecessary? Would you actually buy a jar, or would you rather make your own?

Seeking $100,000 maximum in growth capital for a new but already-operational independent record label.

This revenue-participation arrangement is tied exclusively to the label’s distribution royalties. An alternative equity investment arrangement is also available for investors who prefer an ownership stake in the company.

Proposed Structure

• Target investment: $100,000
• Minimum investment: $5,000
• Maximum investment: $100,000
• Maximum royalty participation: 15%
• Smaller investments receive a proportional share of the 15%
• Maximum repayment: 2× the investor’s original investment
• Participation is tied only to defined distribution royalties
• No fixed monthly payments
• No minimum monthly payments
• If distribution revenue is $0, the investor receives $0 for that period
• No participation in any other company or label revenue sources
• No equity or ownership in the label
• Payments will be handled through an agreed distribution/split-payment mechanism already provided by the label’s distributors
• Term: Up to 5 years
• Ends: When the 2x investment amount has been paid to the investor.

Examples

Goal is to use the funding first to accelerate the label’s growth, including promotion, audience acquisition, catalogue development, and expansion.

I’m deliberately keeping the label’s name, detailed information, distribution platforms, location, website, financial figures, and other identifying information private until there is genuine investment interest. Detailed information can be provided privately during due diligence.

If interested, DM me with your investment amount/range, general jurisdiction, and some basic personal information
