Haripriya, Ashwin and Nikhil, three friends driven by a common passion for food, are helping Bangalore in its journey towards healthy living. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and the irony is, it is the most compromised meal of the day. Most people, who live away from their families, tend to skip their breakfast on a regular basis. Wouldn’t it be great if someone brings you breakfast? There is someone who will do it. We present to you Brekkie, who deliver a fully loaded three course breakfast straight to people’s doorsteps.
The founders of Brekkie, like most other working individuals in Bangalore hated mornings, “We hated that alarm, we couldn’t stand Bangalore traffic and we dreaded that first meeting. Worst of all, our early a.m. crankiness was compounded by the fact that we usually showed up to work hungry. All our mothers live in different cities, and without the usual pampering we’re left with either greasy Sagar dosa’s or nothing. We skipped breakfast regularly”.
As it seems to be a theme with many of the recent start-ups, the idea/concept of Brekkie can be traced back to personal experiences of the founders. “It’s something that was a deep personal pain point, and something we wanted to see solved – if only for us to have a happy start to our days. The more we talked about it with friends and family, the more we got the convinced that others faced the same problem. We did the usual market research/surveying that most people do in order to vet an idea, but in the end it was very much a gut feeling (literally, we were hungry!) and we just went for it”.
At Brekkie, they “don’t just send you an idli /vada and call it a day. We try add some funk to your mornings by serving up some wholesome, yet quirky food!” Here are some insights into their menu planning, “We serve up a three course menu, consisting of a main, a side and a little treat. For example, on a particular day the breakfast we served was Bread Poha along with Honey Yogurt Muesli and Granola bites. We make food from across India, and have a few continental dishes as well (pancakes are one of our big hits!). What’s most important that our food is prepared in a healthy way, and that the menu doesn’t get repetitive – our kitchen is in constant experimenting mode to come up with new stuff to excite people with”!
Challenges and new ventures are almost synonyms, and Brekkie had its fair share. We asked the team about any that stood out for them-, “Finding a kitchen space and getting comfortable with cooking at scale was the initial challenge, figuring out the logistics for delivering 150+ meals in a tiny two and a half hour window wasn’t a walk in the park either”!
Talking about how the response has been so far, they said “It’s been great – touch wood! There’s a definite problem that we’re addressing, so that’s helped us connect with people. More than that though people seem to really enjoy our food – at the end of the day good food sells”!
The team’s one line advice for any budding food businesses, “Make sure your stuff is tasty, the rest will follow”.
Finally, what does the future hold for Brekkie, “We’re in rapid expansion mode, and have just started serving in Koramangala recently. We’re looking to get carts across all the major business parks in Bangalore, and expand our home delivery areas as well”.
We wish the team @ Brekkie success for all their future endeavors.
