Christmas Food Tray Project

It is an understatement to say that the pandemic caused so much trouble, not only in our country, but to the whole world. Filipinos, like the rest of the world needs to adapt to survive and thrive. A volcano may erupt, storms may rush in and out, earthquakes may tear down skyscrapers, and a pandemic may threaten our livelihood but we have to remain resilient and keep our positivity.

Many workers may have been displaced due to the economic crisis brought by the pandemic. The yuletide season presents a golden opportunity to bounce back and build our own source of livelihood.

Food, as a necessity, is often the go-to product for those wanting to have a start-up business and the holiday season is one of the best time to work on it knowing that in this season of giving, these types of businesses are in demand.

Food trays are not-so-new ideas in the market but these are proven to be a hit to various consumers. These food trays are often the “Plan B” for people who wanted to celebrate an occasion but does not have the time to prepare. These food trays are offered in packages making it very convenient for the consumers. The process is basically ordering, waiting, and before you know it, your food is delivered to your doorsteps – ready for a gastronomic feast.

Food trays are not only goods or products that can be sold, it can also be thoughtful gifts for your loved ones, relatives, and families. Bartering food trays are reminiscent of relatives having potluck during Sunday gatherings or friends getting together for a reunion. If you happen to have a passion for kitchen work and want to be one notch higher taking your kitchen duties to a higher level, you might want to consider taking up a food tray business.
