It may sound odd for me to say that you can with almost no money at all, have more restaurants than McDonalds around the world, almost overnight.
Yet this is now becoming a real thing for some people, and it is in my mind interesting.
They are called dark restaurants, along with dark stores.
Rather than have restaurants all over or fast food places, you simply rent small buildings all over the place, but they are not open to customers. People just order using an app and the food or whatever is then delivered to them via a driver.
And you do not even need to mess about with renting locations and having staff. All you need do is get restaurants to cook the food for you and bag it up in your own branded bags. As this is extra cash for the restaurants, they are happy to do this.
Some places are now setting up dark restaurants to cook for different firms.
And so you as a single person, with no staff, or any equipment, and $50, have more restaurants or at least locations within a few weeks than all the fast food places combined.
This is a new business model that is worth considering.
Indeed some new supermarkets are being set up as dark supermarkets, where customers never go in, it is just delivered to them.
In some ways this is not a new idea. In the UK years ago it was traditional for the local shop to deliver food items to peoples home by bike. The trend died off as supermarkets took over. But it looks like we are going back to a traditional way, but that has been updated.
One thought is dark sex shops. People order sex toys and have them delivered to there homes. All via an app.
