It has been found that customers value hygienic,
healthy, and tasty meals.
The reasons for people preferring tiffin system is
that they offer a more user-friendly ordering system,
provide hygienic and healthy food, offers a variety
of food choices at a reasonable cost.
The home delivery system is a boon in the modern
world. With the added work burden, people are not
willing to travel an extra mile to fetch food as going
out and eating is considered as a waste of time
19. Food providing services have huge potentials to
create employment and livelihood opportunities for
low-income community members particularly
women.
. With a constant influx of people migrating to the
city, more so for work and without their families,
they miss home cooked food and one option for
them is the homemade catering and tiffin service.
The distinguishing factor about tiffins is that the
food has a home cooked touch to it. The cooks
ensure that the food is cooked in a healthy medium
and there is minimal use of oil, salt, and spices.
