New Delhi, 7 April 2025: Zomato, the famous platform for ordering food, is not limited to just satisfying your hunger. It has also brought a golden opportunity for you, through which you can earn up to Rs 90,000 every month sitting at home. If you have the skill of cooking and the passion to work a little hard, then Zomato’s ‘Cloud Kitchen’ model can turn your dreams into reality. Let’s know how you can take advantage of this opportunity and make your kitchen a source of income.

Cloud Kitchen: Small investment, big profit

Zomato’s cloud kitchen concept is proving to be a boon for those who do not want to bear the cost and risk of opening a restaurant. For this, all you need is a kitchen, basic cooking equipment and some necessary licenses. To start, first you have to get a license from the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). This license is easily available through online application and it costs around Rs 1,500. Along with this, you have to prepare your menu, which includes your most popular dishes.

Ramesh Gupta, a successful cloud kitchen operator who has been running this business in Delhi for the last one year, says, “There was a little fear in the beginning, but with the help of FSSAI license and Zomato, everything became easy. Today I am earning more than Rs 80,000 every month.”

Easy way to register on Zomato

After getting the license, the next step is to register with Zomato. For this, you have to submit the name of your kitchen, FSSAI license, GST number (if applicable), PAN card, bank account details, menu and pictures of your top 5 dishes. This process is completed online. After submitting the application, the Zomato team checks it, which can take 10 to 20 days. As soon as you get approval, your cloud kitchen goes live on the platform, and orders can start pouring in.

A Zomato spokesperson said, “Our aim is to give opportunities to small entrepreneurs. Through cloud kitchens, people can turn their hobby of cooking into a business with low investment.”

Earnings math: Rs 90,000 per month

Earnings from a cloud kitchen depend on the number of your orders and profit margin. Suppose, your average dish costs Rs 200 and you earn a profit of Rs 100 from each order. If you get 30 orders daily, then your daily earnings will be Rs 3,000. This figure reaches Rs 90,000 per month. This is just an initial estimate; with good taste and fast service, your earnings can be much more than this.

Priya Sharma, who runs a cloud kitchen in Mumbai, says, “In the first month, I got 15-20 orders, but now I get more than 40 orders every day. Customers come back again and again due to the attention to taste and packaging.”

Important tips for success

It is very important to keep some things in mind for success in this business. First of all, delivering food to customers on time should be your priority. Customers angry with delay do not order again. Second, the taste of the food should be such that people cannot forget it. Apart from this, pay special attention to the packaging so that the food does not get spoiled during transport. Listen to customer feedback and keep improving your service.

Business coach Ajay Verma advises, “Start small in the beginning. Understand the preferences of your area and make the menu accordingly. Gradually upgrade the kitchen when the orders increase.”

Challenges and opportunities

Although this business seems easy, it requires hard work and dedication. In the beginning, low orders or kitchen setup expenses may bother you. But once your kitchen gets recognized, there is no limit to earning. Platforms like Zomato have access to millions of customers, which opens up a lot of opportunities for you.

Conclusion: Your kitchen, your earnings

Zomato’s cloud kitchen model is a great opportunity for those who want to start a business from home. With a little investment, proper planning and hard work, you can earn Rs 90,000 or more per month. If you are an expert in cooking and want to try your skills, then this is the opportunity for you.
