Being an events related online seller that was greatly affected by the pandemic, I know how hard it is to earn a living these days. Kaya marami na din ang nagresort to online selling and shempre, bulk of them are in the food industry. Why? Ito ang pinakamadali gawin at ito ang pinaka mura ang puhunan.

Hindi naman na bago ang footlong sandwich at siomai, ako pa man eh palagi din namin ito merienda. Mura kasi ito, masarap at tapos sa footlong, pwedeng maghati pa ang dalawang tao.

Kaya naman, I have 4 recommendations for you on how you can start your business at home – with only your stove/grill and rice cooker.

First is why not level up your footlong bunwich from the ordinary cheese, ketchup and mayo combo (left) to something out of the box like this hawaiian pizza dog I made (right). Diba? Kakaiba and siguradong babalikbalikan!

San makakarating ang Php500 mo? Ito! Makakagawa ka na ng 10 pieces ng hawaiian pizza dog! Biruin mo 50php lang ang puhunan! Tapos pwede mo itong ibenta ng  90-100php. Be creative lang with your toppings, yung pwede ding mag-mix and match kung gagawa ka ng iba’t ibang klase for your menu and look for ingredients na madali makita sa supermarket or even sa sari-sari store pag biglang naubusan.

Second recommendation is shempre the most important ingredient is the footlong hotdog. Dapat ito ay tasty and hindi dry and I found it in Holiday Cheesedog Footlong, na mahaba, makeso at masarap! It is very affordable at SRP Php139 (1KG; 10pcs). Saktong sakto talaga para ma maximize ang puhunan.

Third recommendation ko naman is Siomai! Everyone’s favorite comfort food, can easily bring us a whole new kind of comfort in our lives. Papano? Pwede din natin itong pagkakitaan. Napakadali lang itong lutuin – steam man or fried; as is or with rice. Hindi komplikado at affordable pa to every juan.

And while I was looking for siomai, I found this brand that literally tickled my taste buds. Ang sarap niya kasi, lasang lasa ang pork and very tasty. Hindi din sya tinipid sa laman. Siksik na siksik! Higit sa lahat, affordable nya ha, para sa halagang Php125 for 60 pieces per pack sa presyong budget meal sya, peroooo higit pa sa budget meal ang lasa! Holiday Siomai itooo mga mommies! Natikman niyo ba ito? Napakasarap, walang halong biro!

Shempre, ang last recommendation ay isang lightbulb moment! Naisip ko na pwedeng pwede din pala pang negosyo. Either Siomai Rice or literal na siomai lang. Kung meron kang puhunan na Php400 makaka-prepare ka na ng 15 servings ng 4-piece siomai rice with mixed veggies. Pwede mo itong ibenta ng Php55 at kikita ka ng at least Php28 per order.

Kung simpleng siomai merienda lang at 4 pcs per tray with 15 servings, as well at meron kang puhunan na Php200, pwede mo naman ito ibenta ng Php30 at kikita ka ng at least Php17 per order. Puhunan price includes cost of items that can’t be quantified.

I’m sure mas marami pa kayong maiisip na food ideas with Holiday products that you can try and market in your community. As we all know, these days, the trend in online selling gone higher and higher each day, especially now that we can’t go out unless it is a necessity. A lot of people, especially those who work from home that has less time to actually prepare their food resort to food delivery. So when you decide to start your home business, join Facebook groups that cater to your city, if you have for your baranggay, the better. Why? Because your best customers will be your ka-baranggays that would find food, especially those with free delivery, no matter what time of the day, even at the middle of the night, because I know it, because I am one of them.

Holiday Cheesedog Footlong, Holiday Siomai and all other Holiday products are all available in supermarkets nationwide, your neighborhood palengke, CDO Foodstore branches or you can order via CDO Home Delivery .

Holiday has been a trusted brand of micro entrepreneurs and homemakers that have small businesses at home. It has always been knows for its quality and affordability that is perfect for business.
