Not so long ago, the only reason people ordered food was to take a break from boring old 'ghar ka khana' (homemade food). However, the pandemic brought with it a rekindling of love for the same items most of us wanted to get away from. That said, the past year has also seen an evolution of sorts of the kind of cuisines home chefs have embraced and have to offer. No longer is it just the biriyani or butter chicken, the sheer variety available often puts the best restaurants to shame. From homemade shepherd's pie to pork belly with tingmo to creatively decorated blueberry-vanilla in American buttercream cake, the offerings are beautifully varied.

Like every business, running a home chef also requires one to scale up; whether horizontally or vertically. And, hence it is important to ask how to grow your home chef business, after a point.
Horizontal scaling up would be expanding one’s customer base to reach a larger audience, create a loyal clientele, and build the hype around your business. On the other hand, vertical scaling up would be expanding one’s menu to sell more products and make more profits. To do this, one has to first find clients and then explore the scope of your home chef business
