Retirement Jobs – Sandwiches and Wraps

A sandwiches and wraps delivery service might be just the retirement job for you if you live near office buildings and have some sort of transportation available.

Think of those who sit in their offices everyday, eating the same sad ham and cheese sandwich with a wilted salad on the side because they’re just don’t have time to go further than the cheap deli downstairs. Imagine if these prisoners of day old subs could taste your delicious creations! And why can’t they?

Have you ever made a truly great sandwich - a creation with all the right ingredients? You probably shared it with a family member or two and then this great snack idea was shoved to a back burner.

Even if your sandwiches have been a family and friend hit, you should start researching this retirement job idea by going on-line and search our ideas.

Experiment with friends and family to get the best ones and make a menu – a fairly simple one with no more than five or six options because you don’t want to stock a huge variety of ingredients.

Include at least one veggie sandwich and wrap for those who stay away from meat and list the ingredients so your clients can let you know if they don’t want something on their sandwich.

How about offering a “Make Your Own Combo” option? List two or three types of bread, about eight or ten toppings and charge a base price for the bread and two toppings, then an additional fee for each additional ingredient. Just be careful when taking the order and double check all ingredients.

On your flyers and menus, include a phone number and order form when you drop it off at various offices. Everyone in the office who wants a sandwich, can mark it down on the form and one person phones the order in, which makes it easier on you.

Don’t forget to put your deadline for orders on the menu in bold letters. Depending on the amount of business you have this could be around 10 am in order to make a noon delivery.

Use all fresh ingredients and only make your sandwiches as they are ordered. Anything with watery fillings, like tomatoes, should be made just before delivery so you don’t have soggy sandwiches.

Package the sandwiches and wraps in wax paper or plastic wrap and place in a bag with the name of the company. This way, you can just take up the bag with the company's order and don’t have to deal with digging through other orders.

To do your billing, make up receipts for each sandwich or wrap unless the office requests that you give one receipt for all. Request that the money be at the front desk when you arrive so you can make all your deliveries on time. Another great idea is to offer a monthly rate where they pay at the beginning of the month and receive a certain number of sandwiches. This saves time counting money and such.

If you want to move on from sandwiches and wraps and add to your wallet, include soft drinks, milk and coffee – drinks offer high profit margins. Buy them at a bulk discount store and resell for regular soda prices. You might also consider adding salads or desserts to your menu to bump up profits. If all goes well, you will soon have to hire additional delivery people!
