so a lot of my students ask me if i would advise for them to take single orders when customers order especially when they don't have another order for it so take for instance a customer orders for one portion of afang soup and then they don't have another order for afang soup should they make it and i feel like this dilemma is a lot especially when they are just starting out so it's like oh i'm trying to build my customer base and i don't want to be rejecting orders so before i answer this question i'll say this that whether you're starting out in a food business or you've been in the game for the longest time one sure way to guarantee your profit is to limit your waste now making single orders like this especially when you're just starting out guarantees that you're going to be wasting a lot of your ingredients so as opposed to taking a single order like this what i would recommend that you do is create a limited menu and then put it out there days in advance and then rack up orders that way you can you know pay attention to the cost that you're going to use to make the meal and you can like clearly calculate your profits from that order so you can start by posting on friday that you're going to be making afank soup on monday and then rack up as many orders as you can before monday that way the venue and experience are extremely clear.
