1.4.4 Self-employment opportunities
Source: www.business-management-degree.net/faq
Working for yourself is similar to entrepreneurship except that most individuals in this position, for
example, a Cosmetologist or Baker, did not “invent” the product or profession they are pursuing. Most
often, the service or item already exists. They are generally performing the same job as others they are
supervising. However, some of the same qualities and skills may apply to the self-employed. You must
be flexible; no more specified schedule or “passing the blame” to anyone else…you’re it. You will be
responsible for all decision-making and solving all crises.
If you are self-employed, you certainly need to be motivated. There’s no one to tell you what to do or
when to do it. You must be able to plan ahead and use your time wisely.

CLASS DISCUSSION
Self-employment opportunities in the Hospitality Industry
Self-employment business ideas:
(Selling Like Hotcakes: 13 Profitable Food Business Ideas for 2022 (shopify.co.uk))
Food truck - A food truck business
can give a chef the same
opportunity that they’d get with a
restaurant to develop their own
unique menu, but with the added
benefit of mobility.
Benefits is Mobility and Creative
control.
Page 25 of 51
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Ice cream shop - Ice cream can
be served alongside just about
any other dessert and comes in a
wide variety of styles, including
frozen yogurt, sorbet, gelato, and
frozen custard. With endless
recipe ideas, ice cream is great for
niching.
Benefits is Creative control.
Cooking classes - You could
offer online courses or in-person
classes. You might pre-record
your courses and allow students to
watch at their convenience or do
live one-night-only events for an
online audience.
Benefits is Scalability – due to the
personal connection students will
have to your brand.
Personal Chef - Personal chefs
are trained cooks hired to provide
at-home meals for their clients,
who often may have special
dietary needs or preferences.
They can be employed by
individuals, families, or caterers, or
for special events.
Benefits is relationship building
Page 26 of 51
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Coffee Shop - Since it’s a widely
available product, customers tend
to value exclusivity when it comes
to coffee, meaning they’re more
receptive to new brands.
Benefits: Small-brand advantage
and low barrier of entry – meaning
your products are coming from third
party so focus on branding your
product rather than developing it.
Meal Kits - Meal kits can be sold
on a subscription-based model,
wherein retailers provide customers
with a new meal on a recurring
basis. Or you might create a
collection of meal kits and sell them
à la carte.
Benefits: Niching opportunities –
plenty of room for new brands to
develop.
Baked goods - Selling baked
goods can open a lot of other doors
for your brand. You could sell
baked goods for specific dietary
restrictions, or specialize in
something more specific, like
bread, cookies, cakes, pastries, or
pies.
Benefits: high demand for
specialty bakeries; finding baked
goods that cater to specific dietary
needs is still a challenge for a lot of
customers, meaning there’s a high
demand for them and plenty of
room for newer brands.
Page 27 of 51
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Sauces - Sauces are a feature of
nearly every cuisine. They’re
relatively easy to adapt to any
dietary restrictions. They can be
savoury, sweet, spicy, or all three.
Benefits: Customer loyalty and
Adventurous clientele.
Pre-packed snacks - Chips, nuts,
pretzels, popcorn, granola bars, or
maybe a mixture of all of them—
pre-packaged snack products come
limitless varieties.
Pre-packaged snacks are a staple
of both adventurous outdoor
excursions and monotonous late-
night cravings—and nearly all of us
have a fondness for them.
Benefits: Wide product variety: a
large selection of food and flavour
possibilities
Homemade jams and jellies -
Jams and jellies are a great low-
cost business to start for
entrepreneurs interested in
growing their own fresh produce.
On top of this, farmer’s markets
are a great place to meet potential
customers in person.
Benefits: Small-brand advantage
– and that it does not contain
preservatives and is more
nutritious.
Page 28 of 51
Downloaded from hlayiso.com
Organic foods - Organic foods
are foods produced using natural
fertilizers, as opposed to chemical
pesticides. You could sell raw,
organic produce or use organic
ingredients in your food products.
Benefits: Fresh branding – using
organic ingredients can be a
positive highlight in your branding.

1.4.6 Procedure plan for street vending
Venue set up – vending stall
Source: squareup.com
The food stall has moved from an ordinary food stall to a market add-on to a powerhouse of creativity,
cuisine and style. Ideal for an up-and-coming chef with a flair for customer service and the passion to
take your food to hungry customers.
1. Location: is the place that the business is operating from. The first step is to get information on
regulations that are in place. Investigate where the customers are and target those areas. An area
that is close to running water and near a steady pedestrian traffic flow. The passer-by must be able
to see the stall and the food on offer.
2. Layout: The stall must be well organised. The venue should have adequate ventilation. It should
have a sink area, cold storage area, a trolley/cabinet with all the commodities and equipment
required for dishes, a preparation area and a serving counter with a cash register.
3. Selling practice
3.1 Product:
The choice of product up for sale is very important
3.2 Cost
The cost of ingredients, the overheads (gas, electricity, and operating license) and labour cost
must be calculated to determine the selling price. The aim must be to make a profit.
4. Marketing
Branding is important to attract the attention of attracting customers. The delicious aromas of your
food may be enough to entice customers, an eye-catching stall will attract customers. Nameplate with
business name must be easy to see. The name is all customers will have to go on when you have no
permanent location. Decorate it with lights and colours, items that reflects your identity as a brand.
Convey your branding over onto your social media channels, packaging and website. Even if you’re
just starting out, make sure all your logos across your channels are consistent and something that
customers remember.

5. Hygiene and safety
The correct cleaning steps for food contact surfaces are as follows:
1. Wipe away any food leftovers and rinse with water.
2. Wash with hot water and detergent to remove any grease.
3. Sanitise using a food sanitiser.
4. All food handlers must have good personal hygiene and clean clothing.
5. All open wounds must be covered with a coloured waterproof dressing or wear
disposable glove.
6. Disposable gloves should be changed frequently, and hands washed with liquid soap
and water.
7. Food handlers must not smoke in or around the food stall.
8. No person suffering gastro symptoms should handle food.
Consult with a lawyer to make sure your licenses are in-line with your legal requirements.
Licensing for street market stalls must be in-line with the law on:
Food hygiene certifications
Health and Safety and Fire Risk
Street trading licences
Risk Assessment / HACCP completion
Gas safety certificates
Hand washing facilities
6. Heating medium (electricity /coal / wood / gas)
The electricity source must be considered. Electricity will be required to operate heating appliances and
electric frying. Make prior arrangements before arriving at a spot so that you comply with the required
standards
The following mediums can be used for preparing food in the street vending stall
