Dragon's Den Idea

The Idea

Almost ready meals;  The plan is to bundle together ingredients for single meals with all the preparation taken out of it but not actually cooked so not a complete ready meal that you just put in the oven but almost.  For example a baked potato with cheese or tuna could simply be a potato and the other ingredients in a single packet.

Some of the profit could be donated to the students union and the workforce could be mostly made of students earning some cash whilst studying.

By doing things this way it'd give students a feeling of independence plus it could be a good way of getting healthy meals to them.  As a bonus students tend to think themselves are above the likes of ready meals so this should appeal to them.

As an added incentive the way in which the meals are sold could mean that parents could buy vouchers or have an online account for non-transferable vouchers for food, this would be better than sending money since they could guarantee that the kids didn't spend the money on drink or drugs!!


If the line takes off then the line could easily be extended to "easy home pub grub" ... well you get the idea.
