The Home Food Business Starter

You've Been Told "You Should Sell This!" a Hundred Times. What's Stopping You Isn't Your Cooking — It's Three Unknowns: the Permits, the Price, and How Orders Work. All Three Die in This One Guide and a Week of Admin. The single path from a Malaysian home kitchen to selling legitimately: the PBT / typhoid jab / food handler course checklist, the honest way to handle the halal question (never claim without certification — state facts instead), a costing sheet that auto-calculates your true cost and floor price, heat-proof delivery, and the first 50 orders without ads. Your cookies. Your sambal. Your kuih. If you are the Malaysian home cook everyone keeps telling to "sell this!" — this is for you. Break down what actually stops you, and it is always the same three unknowns: what permits and jabs are needed; what to charge (and the underpricing that burns you out); and how to take and deliver orders without chaos. This guide is those three, in order. - Chapter 1, rules first: the verify-checklist (PBT, typhoid jab, food handler course, SSM, labels) — a week of admin, done once. And the halal question handled straight: without JAKIM certification, never claim halal. State facts instead — Muslim-owned if true, full ingredients, no pork/lard/alcohol if true. A vague yes for one sale can destroy trust and the business at once - Chapter 2, one hero product: three filters (the compliment test, the travel test, the repeat test) that turn a nine-item menu into one famous thing - Chapter 3, costing and pricing: your true per-unit cost — ingredients, packaging, delivery, and your hours — the floor you never sell below, why you price in the market's upper half, and what to say when someone calls it expensive - Chapter 4, the kitchen as a workflow: two batch days a week, the printed hygiene routine, the one honest allergen line - Chapter 5, packaging and delivery: the test drop before you ever sell, three ways to stop "free delivery" from eating profit, and beating the heat - Chapter 6, the first 50 orders: warm circle to 10, Status and one group to 25, TikTok process clips to 50 — zero ads - Chapter 7, order discipline: the order format, cut-offs kept kindly, 50% deposits on big orders, the order log - Chapter 8, month three: bigger, same, or enough — all three defined as wins Companion sheets: batch costing (true cost per unit + floor price, automatic), order log, batch notes. No revenue promises. What is promised: every decision between you and order #50, laid out in the order you'll meet it. Who this is for: Malaysian home cooks whose food gets praised and whose business hasn't started. Who this is not for: anyone who wants to skip the permits chapter. This book won't let you.
