4. Food Delivery
Food is delivered in one-person meal format in
ready-to-eat packaging with necessary cutlery.
Food delivery takes place within your chosen time-
slot. The vessels in which food is delivered are
suitable to use in microwave.
For now, all leftover food for the day
goes to NGOs which donate food to
the needy every day
8. Unlike any other food business, Holachef does
not offer on-demand service to its customers.
For every order, the customer has to choose a
time slot within which they want the food to be
delivered.
On the logistics front, the Chef prepares and
delivers the food to Holachef, which in turn
delivers the food to its customers. To fulfil this,
the startup has setup an internal logistics team
and delivery is managed efficiently through
automatic route planning.
9. Holachef currently has over 100 chefs on board
and records an average of 250 orders per day
and over 3,000 orders a month. While it started
off operations from Powai (in Mumbai), it has
expanded into Chembur and across key
locations in Mumbai.
Estimate monthly number of orders from
20,000 to 25,000.
The company takes a percentage of revenues
from the Chef, for each dish.

going to be on ensuring that the food quality

customers. “In three years from now, we want
to reach a monthly order target of 50,000
orders a month,” says Saxena.
