Sandwich research

Just wanted to say thank you for all the info - it's been really useful.

One a couple more questions for you all. If you could order by email and then pick up your order at a specified time, would this encourage you to use the service? Or would you pay a little extra to email your order and get it delivered to your workplace?

Thank you for the ideas, but this is actually going to be a deli primarily, but we're considering sandwiches / take away stuff too.

I would, but I think an online order system would be much better than emailing, as emailing would be prone to all sorts of problems. For an example of an online system, take a look at dominos. In answer to the original question, if I go to my local independent sandwich shop, I normally buy either a sliced egg and tomato sandwich, which can come in white or brown bread or various rolles of my choice, or a jacket potato. The potatos seem popular there because they normally sell out quite early, although aparently it depends on the weather (ie they sell a lot more when its cold).
 
The sandwich will take off ...... it'd because the thrust is greater than the air pressure created when the camel spider ........ erm :( ....... ok, maybe not.
 
At college its usually tuna + cucumber for about £1.20 (i think)

When i leave college for lunch you can get a baggette(lol) for £1.80.

Usually pick up a cold drink for a sandwhich,doesnt seem right drinking hot with a cold sandwhich. :confused:
 
At cantine at work .. usually cheese, ham tomato or sometimes brie, basil and tomato

£3 each, bit of a rip off

They put all prices up for people not in River Island in our building - only managed to convince them to sell to us after some "complaining" :p
 
When in the office there is this local butchers that does hot meat sarnies, hot lamb with mint sauce etc etc.

When out of the office it depends what is near the customer. There is a place in Hull that does this fantastic tuna mayo with red onion on mahoosive slices of grannary bread, place called Relish IIRC.

As you can probably tell from the responses, people seem to be split down the middle between not really caring what's in their sandwiches and just want something 'OK' and cheap; whilst others are prepared to pay more for larger portions and/or better quality ingredients as well as more interesting combinations in sandwiches that you might not normally find in a lot of sandwich shops.

That said, the location of your shop will more than likely play a huge part in the chance of success of your business. A good location in the right town or city is a fantastic head start for a business that will have to rely on passing trade to hopefully pick up new business and persuade people away from the many chains that they feel 'safe' with.

Good luck on your business venture. :)
